AMANDA VANAS

FOUNDER & CEO

Amanda began her career in New York City, cutting her teeth in Public Relations with industry powerhouses such as Kelly Cutrone at People’s Revolution and designers Kim Newport-Mimran of Pink Tartan and Joe Mimran, the visionary behind Club Monaco and Joe Fresh.

Her career next took her into celebrity PR in Vancouver, where she represented an eclectic roster of global talent—including world-renowned musicians like Tiësto, Kaskade, and Diplo, as well as actors from cult-status series like Game of Thrones and iconic franchises such as Star Wars.

Yet it was fashion that remained her true calling. Returning to the industry, Amanda served as Director at Anna Kosturova, a leader in luxury swimwear, before founding AVANA Showroom—a global agency recognized for its high-level curation and full-service brand strategy. Today, she represents over seven international designers, managing everything from sales and production to market positioning and creative direction, while continuing to redefine what it means to sell and scale in the luxury resortwear space.
