A San Antonio native, Amanda has been in the fashion industry for over 25+ years and designing for herself even longer. She owns several businesses and continues to design, style and accessorize others on a daily basis. As an artist from an early age, her art and design work have always been about empowering the individual.

Amanda loves to collaborate with other artists and designers and has planned and executed many fashion shows, events and philanthropic initiatives.

Amanda has a big place in her heart for the environment and as a humanitarian her main approach is to bring focus on sustainable fashion to the forefront.

She has a unique untamed ability to take broken, unwanted, discarded objects and bring them to life! She calls this Object Vertu, which in French means “the love of or taste for curious objects d′art”. Her rare reworked reclaimed vintage textiles are what are new to the runway for the Untamable-The Sustainable Fashion Show.

Her works of wearable art are selling worldwide to the modern fashionista, who consciously looks for unique designs and modern trends but who also wants to address the responsibilities of the fashion industry. Her business continues to grow as she also continues to advocate for more slow fashion awareness in the industry.

We always encourage sustainability and help keep objects out of landfills. We only use what is already available, circulating and what has already been in existence for many, many years and we will continue to work this way. Our passion is to work and rework and recreate while making a difference.
