Marisa Kenson has always followed her heart. From her humble beginnings growing up in Southeast Asia to breaking barriers throughout her fashion travels in the United States, Marisa has designed a reputation for being a stylish, modern, creative and successful example of the American Dream come true.
The ultimate Passionista, Marisa Kenson emigrated from Burma to the U.S. in the mid 1960's. Along with her father, a banker, and mother, a teacher, Marisa spent her childhood in the Rangoon region, known for its rich culture. There, she enjoyed a special bond with her maternal grandmother, often sitting by her side as she designed and hemmed custom clothing for women in their small village. That's when, at the impressionable age of 9, Marisa fell in love with fashion.
Since then, Marisas been a part of every seam, stich and trend the fashion industry has to offer. For more than 20 years, shes lent her bold sense of style and vast knowledge of the industry to help well-known retailers design, develop, merchandise and bring-to-market, national brands, such as Joe Boxer, Cherokee, Kathy Ireland, Lane Bryant, Disney, and Kohl's. Marisa's dedication and passion for fashion has contributed to clothing sales well beyond the $1 billion dollar mark.
In 2008, Marisa decided to make her personal mark on the apparel world, developing [an affordably priced, but high-end-design-inspired line] aimed at outfitting women with clothes that brings out the best in them, from work to play and everywhere in between. The flattering and forgiving signature piece of the Marisa Kenson Collection, the Patent Pending, "Invisible Belt Dress", is a favorite among celebrities, including "Roar" songstress, Katy Perry, former Pussy Cat Doll, Nicole Scherzinger, the multi-talented singer and actress, Aubrey O'Day, danceanista, Cheryl Burke, and reality TV star, Vicki Gunvalson from "The Real Housewives of Orange County."
