FASHION DESIGNER Simone Chanté

Simone Chanté is a fashion designer with a flair for prints, color, and the exotic. A New Jersey native, her passion for clothing was apparent at a very young age. She partook in an assortment of art, sewing, design, and garment making courses throughout her youth. Simone earned a Bachelor’s of Fine Arts in Fashion Design with a minor in business from the Moore College of Art and Design in 2011. Her senior collection, an exotic African print inspired resort wear collection, was featured on Philadelphia fashion blogs as well as itsarkeedah.com, the Philadelphia Inquirer, and in the Emerging Designers III publication. Simone currently lives in New York City and has expanded her repertoire to include work as a stylist, visual merchandiser, and designer. In January of 2014, Simone launched her turban collection, Simone Chanté, which consists of multi-functional turbans hand-made in lush colors and prints. Simone is currently working towards a clothing line to compliment her turbans and exotic flare.
