About ANĒ CLOTHIER

ANĒ CLOTHIER is a gender-neutral luxury lifestyle brand founded in 2014 by Newark native Anita Dickens, designing ready-to-wear pieces -- shirts, trousers, waistcoats, and tunics -- that deliberately reject conventional gender boundaries in fashion. Dickens built the brand from Newark, where she grew up in a single-parent household with four siblings, and turned that grounding into a label centered on inclusivity, diversity, and empowerment as design principles rather than marketing slogans. The clothing itself favors clean tailoring and unisex silhouettes over trend-chasing, aiming for pieces that read as considered garments rather than gendered "womenswear" or "menswear" categories. ANĒ CLOTHIER operates a physical storefront called the Style Lounge at 17 Academy Street in downtown Newark, where customers can book shopping appointments and see the collections in person alongside the brand's online store. The "Designs by ANĒ" signature line anchors the collections, reflecting Dickens' vision as both designer and business owner navigating the notoriously difficult independent fashion industry from a small city storefront rather than a major fashion-capital showroom. For shoppers seeking clothing built around fluid, adaptable design rather than rigid gender categories, and for a brand explicitly rooted in Newark's community and Dickens' own life story, ANĒ CLOTHIER offers both a shopping destination and a statement about what fashion can look like when it starts from lived experience instead of runway trends.

ANĒ CLOTHIER was founded in 2014 by Newark native Anita Dickens, who built the gender-neutral fashion brand from the ground up despite growing up in a single-parent household with four siblings.
