About Me

From a foundation built in textiles, theatrical millinery, and fashion, Anne DePasquale's innovative, retro-glam designs are reminiscent of the past, but interpreted for the fashion forward woman of today.

Learning millinery the old fashioned way - working with her hands, Anne translated her knowledge of fine millinery and accessories to fit the masses. In 2004-2005 Anne designed the JLO line and custom made hats exclusively for the launch of the SWEETFACE Fall 2005 runway show,7th on SIXth and its simultaneous MTV special. 

Anne DePasquale designs can be found in upscale NYC and CT boutiques including THE HAT SHOP, 120 Thompson St. (Btn Prince and Spring), her website www.ANNEDEPASQUALE.com,and ETSY.com

Anne graduated from Rhode Island School of Design with a BFA in textiles. She began her career in NYC fashion working for designers BetseyJohnson, Anna Sui, and Donna Karan. With a desire to reconnect with artisan craft, Anne began working under renowned milliners Arnold S. Levine and RodneyGordon, creating millinery for Broadway, Operas, Soap Operas and Disneyproductions. Three of which won Tony Awards for Best Costume Design: TheLion King, Thoroughly Modern Millie, and 42nd Street.

Acclaimed by the media, AnneDePasquale has been included in "The Best  of Accessories Magazine" which noted the “Impeccable blocked hats of Anne De Pasquale as a highlight of The Market NYC”. Anne's designs have been featured in various media outlets such as: Good Day New York, TheNew York Times, WWD, Time Out New York, Hamptons, Glamour, Bucks, Accessories, and The Knot.

Now independent, Anne DePasquale travels the world for inspiration; creating unique, limited edition hats and accessories and prides herself in her impeccable quality and cutting-edgestyles.
