Designer Profile: Christopher Deane



Christopher Crawford and Angela Deane go way back, to the University of Florida to be specific. After working in the fashion industry and art world, the duo decided that two heads were better than one and started collaborating on various business ventures, including a boutique.

Experience at their store, No. 436, taught Crawford and Deane fit and silhouette. They also met a wonderful pattern maker who works with them to this day. In 2002, the contemporary line Christopher Deane was born.

Christopher Deane is known for their graceful and distinctive dresses, tops and skirts with subtle feminine detailing. Being one of New York's most admired young labels, the brand enjoys an immense celebrity following and has achieved extensive coverage in multiple top fashion magazines including Elle, Flaunt, Nylon, Lucky, WWD and W. Not bad for eight years of work.
