Tennille White

Tennille White's love of fashion started at an early age. She's earned two fashion degrees from The International Academy of Design and Technology. To pass the time while recuperating from a broken foot, Tennille White began to sketch clothing designs and created a few layered tanks and hand-dyed linen ponchos. She secured a vendor's spot at the Trinity United Church of Christ Women's Conference, sold out the tops, and even took orders for more. Encouraged by her success, White decided to create a full line of separates, and Tennille White Chicago was born in May 2004. Tennille's mission is to establish a fashion identity for curvaceous women. Tennille's describes her designs as multipurpose, classically lined, and colorful.
