Adrienne Vittadini (born October 9, 1943, in Győr, Hungary) is an American fashion designer.

Biography

[edit]

When she was 13, her family fled Győr during the 1956 Hungarian revolution. In 1979, she got into fashion design as a hobby, which later turned into a multimillion-dollar business. Her designs feature an assortment of vibrant colors and prints, encompassing clothing, handbags, swimsuits, shoes, eyewear, and perfumes.[1] Subsequently, her company was acquired by Retail Brand Alliance in 2001.[2]

She has appeared in an advertisement for Rolex, wearing the Rolex Explorer II.[3]

She now lives seasonally in Sarasota, Florida, where she went into the home fashion and house design business.[4]

In April 2017, some Ivanka Trump clothing items were mistakenly labeled as Adrienne Vittadini items before being sold to Stein Mart. G-III Apparel Group, the company that licenses Ivanka Trump brand clothing, then took responsibility for mislabeling the clothing, and said they were taking steps to remove mislabeled items from stores.[5][6]
