Born into a family of Italian artisans and raised in Philadelphia, Joan Calabrese showed a complete love of fashion from a very early age. Joan adds, “From the day I could pick up a pencil, I was always drawing, always clothing.” As a small child, Joan also sewed her own dolls’ clothing, collecting fabric scraps from a family friend and dressmaker.
