Annie S. Limited: From Bedroom to Dance Floor

Antonio Di Mino

Annie S. Limited, aka Ana Segura's inspired intimate apparel will leave you sleepless and sensuously enhanced. Just recently appearing on the Tyra Banks show, Ana designs with a unique blend of gothic style and everyday wear in lingerie rich with individuality and eye-catching style.

It started as a family tradition in the Segura household with lessons from Ana's mother, who taught her daughter her craft passed on for three generations. She could not get enough and leapt into other projects that would nurture her creative life style. An adolescent growing up in the Bronx, Ana had dreams of becoming one of New York's most sought after models. She was given an opportunity to audition for New York's High School of Fashion Industries, a respected high school for liberal arts, that would help her on the path to fame. Her audition turned into an unexpected direction; she was accepted to the school as a fashion design major, a perfect twist that led her to becoming president of her own company, Annie S. Limited.

Ana's line of intimate apparel reflects all the passion and inspirations she has dedicated much of her life to. It is full of urban-goth inspired materials; a term coined by the designer herself as an expression to describe her unique blend of fashion. She also designs for a rock band called Sky Muzic, where she incorporates her fashion with their incredible music.

One of Ana's most unforgettable experiences occurred before the presentation of her first show. "The owner of the venue cancelled the show because of racial discrimination," says Ana. "After the cancellation, I was invited to The Tyra Banks Show and spoke about my incident, as well as showcase my collection. Because of the incident, the drive I had to succeed became greater than it had ever been before, I learned when one door closes, many more will open."

 


One of the most important things that she would stress to emerging designers is to believe in themselves and their dreams. Giving-up is not an option when you aspire to the dreams of your life. When you come to that moment that you feel the weight of the world is on your shoulders and it seems unbearable, grab a pencil and a pad, your ideas will flourish from there on.

The designs of Annie S. Ltd. will no doubt infiltrate the mainstream in the months to come. From the bedroom to the dance floor, her clothing will leave you with the confidence and the attention you deserve.

Ana will be exhibiting more of her line in La on October 14th, Miami on October 20th and Boston on November 18th. For more information, go to www.annieslimited.com.
