Anna Lisa is built on the belief that fashion should move not just in form, but in spirit.
Rooted in the discipline of dance and inspired by the emotion of rock and roll, each piece is designed to express strength, freedom, and individuality.
Anna Lisa’s philosophy as a fashion designer is shaped by the balance between structure and fluidity. Garments that honor the body in motion while carrying the confidence to command a room. Her approach merges timeless sophistication with an unapologetic modern edge, creating clothing that is as intentional as it is expressive.
Every design begins with movement and ends with presence.
It’s more than fashion.
It’s the art of feeling powerful in your own skin.

Anna Lisa Osterhout grew up in upstate New York, where she trained as a classical ballerina before discovering the freedom of modern dance. For more than two decades, she performed, taught, and choreographed. Exploring movement as both discipline and storytelling.
Alongside her life on stage, she found herself drawn to costume design, fascinated by how fabric could extend emotion beyond choreography. When her dance career came to a close, she carried that language of movement into a new medium: fashion.
Today, from her studio in the historic Velvet Mill of Stonington, Connecticut, Anna Lisa creates pieces that merge structure with soul, garments that move with the body, command attention, and express individuality. Her work channels the elegance of dance and the raw edge of rock and roll, capturing the duality that defines her creative identity.
Each design is an exploration of contrast, strength and grace, fluidity and form, stillness and sound.
For Anna Lisa, fashion isn’t about what you wear. It’s about how it moves with you, how it makes you feel, and the story it tells long after you’ve left the room.
Every design begins with dialogue.
