10 Female Designers Making a Mark on NYFW

Born in the Dominican Republic, Jeanette Limas studied pattern making at the Mercy Jacquez Institute then enrolled in the prestigious School for the Arts, Altos de Chavón, where she received the Young Designer of the Year Award, the ability to present her debut collection during Dominican Republic Fashion Week, and a scholarship to study at Parsons School of Design. Limas moved to NYC and even started learning drapery at FIT to develop her already-commanding technique. She has worked on the design team of Urban Zen by Donna Karan, as well as for Jolibe Atelier, and since starting her own line in 2015, she has presented three successful collections in New York. Her commitment to keep developing her style is definitely inspirational.
