AKA New York refers to a Clothing line/brand which was born in the spring of 2004 when three (3) ELLE fashion editors, namely: Abigale Levinson, Karen Reinitz, and Ana Maria Pimentel decided to start their own line. They felt that there was something missing in the market: clothing that was fashionable yet accessible. Years of experience in the magazine industry was the perfect platform on which to build a successful fashion brand. Their philosophy is to combine elements of each of their styles to create one unique sensibility. They interpret key looks in the way they want to wear them, creating pieces that encourage one's personal style to shine through. The combination of the designers' personalities coupled with their diverse sense of style is what AKA New York is all about.

Famous fans of AKA New York are Jennifer Lopez, Carmen Electra, Nicole Richie, Lauren Conrad, Jessica Simpson and Mischa Barton , to name a few.

My favorite AKA New York: Waterfall Tank with ruffle down side in gray with purple ruffles. I also like the Deco Collar Tee, Flutter Floral Top and of course the crochet-collar tops. Simple yet stylist tee and tops!
