Fashion tech is Amanda's world. As a designer-turned-entrepreneur, Amanda Curtis knows first hand how difficult it is to break into the fashion industry. After growing up in the fashion industry and graduating from Boston University and Parsons, Amanda went from backstage at New York Fashion week designing for Richie Rich and DVF to designing for celebrities and bringing a solo designed collection to judging at London Fashion Week in six months. Despite all that success, she realized that the fashion business model which had not changed in over 100 years needed a redesign. 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 domestic manufacturing and bringing amazing, undiscovered fashion from the runway to closets of fashion lovers . Amanda’s mission is to make the fashion industry better for everyone: from designers and shoppers, to manufacturers and retailers. Amanda was named one of Forbes’ 30Under30 in 2016 for retail and e-commerce.
