Savoir Collection starring Anna Cleveland 

Tell us about your earliest fashion memory. 

I was walking my first runway show with my mother [Pat Cleveland] when I was about five. I remember wearing a T-shirt and looking up at all the girls and thinking, one day I’ll wear those beautiful clothes. At the end of the show, the designer came to me and gave me a stuffed frog. He said if you kiss the frog, your wish will come true, and you will dress up beautifully and meet your Prince Charming! Well, it all happened!  

What does fashion mean to you? You’ve mentioned that fashion is your family. 

My dad [Paul van Ravenstein] was a photographer working in New York in the ‘70s. His sister, my Aunt Apollonia, was a model; my mom and aunt were best friends and worked together. But what I really mean is that I am one with everyone who is creative and seeks to uplift the world through beauty, making life more beautiful. We resonate on a frequency of pure passion and love—a true community of friendship and camaraderie.  

In what way does fashion empower you?

Fashion empowers me by affirming that I can be anyone I dream to be.  

What do you dream of creating? 

I love fashion and film; I feel it’s the new form of editorial expression. I would love to explore that more. We can always expand in new ways. Like the Whitney Houston song says, “I am every woman. It’s all in me.” 

Describe the Savoir collection in just three words.
