Meet Anno Domini

Anno Domini (An-no Dom-in-eye) is Latin meaning "In the Year of Our Lord".The fashion design team Emily Kramer and Amanda Gaskins were inspired to create a fair-trade focused eco-friendly design house in 2008. Both have a background in fashion design and costuming - stage production, renaissance and reenactments, weddings, and formal attire. Amanda graduated from the Art Institute and Emily studied Business Management in Chicago. Since then, their efforts brought them from Chicago runways to Charlotte Seen Fashion Week 2011 where they won the People's Choice Award for Best Emerging Designer.

Walk softly upon the earth, and wear your best feathers.

Erin Grey

Meet Erin Grey

I was born in Da Nang Vietnam during the Vietnamese war and came to US in 1976 at the age of 6. I grew up in Asheboro, NC where I graduated from Asheboro high school then attended UNC-G. This is where I obtained a Biology degree that lead me to a career in non-invasive cardiology equipment and research software for heart arrhythmias. This professional position drove me to fine tune my tailored look through alterations and thus I becamewww.charlottefashionweek.commore detail oriented in my style as well as others. During this time I began to sew, style my friends in ready to wear and began my focus on fashion.
After several years in the medical field, I decided to go into a partnership with a friend and opened a bridesmaid boutique in Charlotte mainly because my sales position had me traveling all over the United States 2 weeks out of every month. This became too much as a single mom, therefore the prospect of owning a boutique became the ideal solution. I was able to dive into the bridal fashion world and still maintain a great home environment for my daughter, Erin.

Over the next several years, I merged my bridesmaid boutique with J. Major's Bridal Boutique where I became part owner with Anna Chin of Anna's Alterations. My position grew with this partnership by involving me more in fitting, tailoring brides and their wedding party. I then began to custom create accessories and customize bridesmaid and bridal gowns. Now after 9 years in bridal industry, I am able create looks, patterns and totally create the perfect gown for each discerning bride. You can reach me at (704)372-0082.
