Lee Anderson Couture has moved to the sunny side of the street to 975 Lexington Avenue, helping restore this lovely block back to pre-covid times. While multiple blocks with vacant stores plague New York City streets, entrepreneurs are slowly flocking back to the city and re-establishing businesses.
Lee Anderson Couture, established in 1980, has been servicing exclusive clients for over 42 years. The designer, despite all odds during COVID 19, not only survived- but is thriving with more demand on custom made luxury designs for clientele. Lee Anderson couture is renown nationwide for her specialty events and wedding party custom made designs. The wedding boom has created the busiest season for fashion in 40 years, resulting in limited inventory at premier department stores, and increasing demand for custom made gowns.
Lee Anderson and her staff are thrilled to welcome clients at her new location and assist them with their event needs. Lee Anderson Couture is where Italian and French fabrics meet personal styling, and are created under the supervision of a professional design team, led by the veteran designer, Lee Anderson.
