Tell us about your story
I'm Ane Howard, a California-based Canadian-American artist, writer, and designer. FABA stands for Fashion Art By Ane, a name that reflects my belief that art is for everyone and should be experienced in multiple forms, not confined to galleries. I started FABA Collection as an experiment: could I take my fine art and make it walk, move, and live beyond the wall? What began as a limited run of scarves featuring my oil paintings has evolved into a full-fledged collection of fine art wearables, each piece handmade to order with the environment in mind. My journey includes solo exhibitions, licensing deals, and fighting for artist rights (yes, we watermark everything now!), but above all, it's been about storytelling: telling mine and helping others tell theirs through what they choose to wear.
What does your brand sell?
FABA Collection (fabacollection.com) is a California-based art and fashion brand that merges fine art with wearable design. We sell original artwork (primarily oil paintings) as well as wearable art pieces including dresses, sneakers, handbags, and accessories that feature my original art. Every product is a conversation between canvas and cloth, designed to empower individuality and elevate everyday expression.
How did you discover FASHN?
I discovered FASHN while researching innovative platforms that support independent designers and help them scale creatively without compromising brand integrity. I was drawn to FASHN's mission to democratize fashion and offer technology that actually works for creatives.
Why did you choose FASHN?
I chose FASHN.ai because it provides the rare blend of creative freedom, intuitive tools, and genuine partnership. As an artist and entrepreneur, I need to stay focused on design, storytelling, and community. FASHN removes the friction around production and fulfillment while keeping the artistry front and center. I love that they understand the unique needs of independent creators—this isn't fast fashion, it's meaningful fashion, and by using FASHN, I now can feature my creations on models.
What's your favorite use case?
My favorite use case is the seamless ability to bring my paintings to life as clothing. I can go from an oil painting on canvas to a statement dress or art sneaker that someone can wear out into the world, without losing the detail or emotion of the original work. That's incredibly powerful. It expands the reach of the art and makes it part of someone's personal narrative. Using FASHN.ai takes that a step further by letting me visualize my designs instantly on real-looking models of all kinds. It helps me see how a piece flows, how the artwork translates on the body, and ultimately how the story lives in motion. That kind of feedback loop is invaluable: creative, empowering, and fast. It's like seeing your imagination dressed up and walking the runway within minutes.
