After attending the Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC, Helen’s journey began in the height of the 80s as an assistant for renowned designer Norma Kamali, assisting in all phases of design from couture to ready-to-wear. Her love for lingerie began when she started designing intimates for Victoria’s Secret when the company opened its first store. Her roles and responsibilities grew to where, as senior designer, she went on to design for large companies such as Liz Claiborne and Ellen Tracy, among other brands.
After 18 years of designing in intimates, with years of corporate work under her belt combined with some savings and the sale of her beloved
