CATHERINE CARNEVALE OF ELEVEN SIX
OCTOBER 14, 2016 | HANNAH DANZIGER
CATHERINE CARNEVALE, A BRITISH FASHION DESIGNER AND ENTREPRENEUR, LAUNCHED ELEVEN SIX WITH HER HUSBAND NICK AFTER YEARS OF WORKING AT TOP CORPORATIONS AS A KNITWEAR DESIGNER. ELEVEN SIX WAS BORN OUT OF CATHERINE’S DESIRE TO CREATE A LIFESTYLE CHANGE. THE COUPLE NOW SPLIT THEIR TIME BETWEEN BROOKLYN AND UPSTATE NEW YORK.
BORN IN LINCOLNSHIRE, CATHERINE LEARNED THE ART OF KNITTING FROM HER MOTHER AND GRANDMOTHER. SHE PERFECTED HER KNITTING AND DESIGN SKILLS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF BRIGHTON, ENGLAND, WHERE SHE GRADUATED WITH A BACHELOR OF HONORS IN FASHION TEXTILES. THOUGH SHE HELD VARIOUS DESIGNER POSITIONS IN NEW YORK, CATHERINE DECIDED TO LEAVE THE CORPORATE WORLD TO PURSUE HER PASSION AND START A COMPANY WITH HER HUSBAND. INSPIRED BY A TRIP TO THE SACRED VALLEY OF THE INCAS IN PERU, ELEVEN SIX IS THE MANIFESTATION OF CATHERINE AND NICK’S LOVE FOR HANDCRAFTED AND BEAUTIFUL PRODUCTS. THEY WORK WITH ARTISAN WOMEN FROM PERU AND BOLIVIA TO CREATE A TRULY UNIQUE KNITWEAR BRAND.
