As a talented New York-based designer and bridal salon owner focused on Black women, Andrea Pitter doesn’t just make wedding dresses – she makes wedding dreams come true for her brides. Pitter graces the cover of The Knot‘s Spring 2021 issue, which is available now, and opens up about taking charge to make the wedding industry more inclusive to Black women’s needs and to portray Black love in a better light. Pitter leads by example, as her store, Pantora Bridal, was created “as a safe space for Black women” in Brooklyn, and her designs are carried in stores all over the country, including Kleinfeld.
The wedding industry leader also showcases some of her fantastic designs throughout the spread, including a striking white jumpsuit and a shimmery, white belted blazer and matching pants from her ready-to-wear collection. There’s also her stunning cover look: a beautiful wedding gown with off-the-shoulder, poufy sleeves, a deep V-cut neckline, and a design of sparkly silver sequins on the bodice. Keep reading for her standout quotes on her road to success, how diversity is much more than surface-level actions, and more. Then be sure to shop her 2021 collection online now.
