Charlotte at Christina's wedding shower, August 2009

In the beginning...

Charlotte Tarantola graduated with honors from the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City in the Spring of '89 and went straight to work.

After 6 years designing for other companies and traveling the world, she now lives her fantasy of owning her own company with her sister/partner/friend Christina. "I got into fashion because that's what I love". She dedicates herself to achieving success in the garment business, ethics intact, without losing her sense of humor or lust for fun.

"The inspiration for the line is designing things that make me smile". Charlotte's favorite pieces are those "blinding images" of great items. The look is about getting noticed! It consists of tees that start conversations, and sweaters in unconventional color combinations, and lots of innovative treatments.
