Aidah Collection brings eastern chic to west coast fashion.
It is an ethical, creatively chic line inspired by the organic beauty of nature within urban existence. Each handmade garment is adorned in brushed design, creating a limited collection of one of a kind pieces. The versatile style unites urban flair and coastal cool with timeless appeal. Go effortlessly from beach, to business, to cocktails in comfort and in vogue. Ethical Mission :: Aidah wants every woman to feel confident and sexy and thus embraces womanly curves with designs that flatter women of all shapes. Sizes are available from petite to full-figured. The ethical collection shuns dishonest factories and instead makes each garment by hand. All leftover pieces are reinvented in the Remnants Collection. Aidah Collection gives back by regularly raising funds and awareness for non-profit organizations.

THE DESIGNER :: Aidah Fontenot has redefined the face of fashion. The culmination of her creative inspirations have lead to her rise as an emerging talent in fine art and fashion design. Her innate eye for balance and bold design is inspired by the organic beauty of nature in contrast with structured urban existence. This theme of finding balance within chaos is the inspiration behind her work. Aidah’s artistic career began at nine years old when she began studying advanced fine arts. This strong fine arts training served as her foundation to explore other mediums of design and, at age 16, she began her first fashion collection. Studies of color theory, typography, sculpture, art history and humanities have influenced her chic style. Combined with unhindered artistic ability, it enables Aidah to unite graphic structure and organic imagery in a way that is consistently perceived as worldly and timeless. “Art is an expression of the soul. Skill is an expression of the mind. Passion is their fuel.”
