Amanda Curtis / @amanda_curtis @19thAmendment
Co-founder & CEO of Nineteenth Amendment
Part tech, part marketing, ALL fashion. As a designer turned entrepreneur, Amanda knows first hand how difficult it is to break into the fashion industry. After graduating from Parsons, Amanda went from backstage at New York Fashion week to designing for celebrities and bringing a solo designed collection to judging at London Fashion Week. Despite all that success, she was never profitable. Nineteenth Amendment was developed as the way to help designers break into the fashion industry with the least amount of time, effort, and money (stiletto-strapping), while growing micro-manufacturing. Amanda intends to make the fashion industry better for everyone: from designers and consumers, to manufacturers and retailers.
