About The Designer

Angelica Curtis Fashion Designer

Where it all started

Designer Angelica Marie Curtis was born and raised in Long Beach California.  Growing up she spent a lot of her free time sewing. Her favorite was creating doll clothing. Angelica would use any fabric she could find. Once she realized her passion in creating, it was clear her future would be in Fashion.  

Fashion Career

Angelica began her professional career by attending the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising. In 2006 She graduated with a degree in Fashion Design.  She spent the beginning of her career as an intern for BCBG. In a few short years she evolved going from an Assistant to an Associate designer. The companies she designed for sold to Forever 21, Macy’s, Dillards, and Khols.  

Own Her Own

It has always been a dream of Angelica to have her own fashion label.  So over the years she put in hours after work perfecting her craft. Local fashion shows were an outlet to showcase her designs.  She knew how important it was to learn the business side of the industry and because of that she waited 10 years to officially make her debut. Curtis Brands has now been featured on singer Ashanti, Cosmopolitan Mx, and the cover of Alpha Fashion Magazine.

So What’s Next?  

Angelica is very excited to continue building her brand.  She would like to focus on custom sizes so customers have styles that fit them just right.
