Frederick Anderson has been in the thick of New York’s fashion scene for over 20 years. He and Douglas Hannant created a made-to-order collection in the early aughts that catered to the ladies who lunch set. He met Hannant while studying fashion design at The Fashion Institute of Technology, and together they helmed a successful business under Hannant’s name for a decade. Over the years, their celebrity following grew as they dressed Beyonce, Charlize Theron, Jennifer Hudson, Janet Jackson, and more. They succeeded in branching out to various categories like fragrance, bridal, and furs. But Anderson had a deep desire to tell his own story. In 2017 he struck out on his own and launched a label of insouciant party looks under his name. Created with couture fabrics and crocheted pieces, the collection hit a sweet spot—fewer ladies who lunch and more girls who like to party.

His fun and flirty take dressing appeals to a new generation of women who appreciate well-made clothing and impeccable luxe fabrics. After his long career, he was recently awarded the rising star honor from the Fashion Group International, even though his star has been ascending for years. Anderson’s story is one of perseverance—slow and steady wins the race. He is getting ready to present his fall ’23 lineup at the time of this writing, and if his past successes are an indicator, his light will be brighter than ever. Below is his spring 2023 runway.
