Kathy Kemp
Kathy Kemp (born August 15, 1964) is an American women's clothing designer and owner of Anna Store in the East Village neighborhood of New York City. A Pennsylvania native, she moved to New York in 1995 to start her company.[1] Her background in anthropology and years of watching people try on clothes have afforded her an expert eye for what her customers want.[2] She is best known for her "edgy dresses with a girlish bent,"[3] and her blouses, which won the Village Voice Best of New York award for Best Blouses in 2001.[4] She has been called "Gen Y's Diane von Fürstenberg,"[5] creating wearable and flattering pieces at affordable prices.[6] She was one of the first designers to utilize local independent contractors to produce small runs weekly, keeping her customers happy with new styles while maintaining a minimal carbon footprint.[7]
