Season 10 Episode 8:
Andi Rosenstein:Turning Threads into Stories
Andrea “Andi” Rosenstein was born in 1961 on the north side of Chicago and graduated from Maine East High School. She went on to attend the University of Illinois, where she made the Dean's List and earned an honors degree in social work.
In 1986, she met her future husband (yours truly), Steve Rosenstein, while he was working as a surfwear rep in Chicago's Apparel Center. She walked into my office with her résumé in hand and I've spent nearly every breath of my life since building brands, a family, and a life with her.
In 1988, we created the Fitigues Clothing Company. And designed every garment for twenty years before the company was sold to a Fortune 50o retailer in 2006.
In 2007, we stumbled upon a 1920s warehouse in downtown Phoenix's emerging Warehouse District, and in 2010, we opened The Duce- a 15,000-square-foot playground where we host large-scale corporate events, concerts, and unforgettable experiences. Andi's magic touch is everywhere... from every recipe and organic cocktail to the décor..but most of all in her unmatched style and attention to every detail.
They say whatever And touches turns to gold. I'm living proof. From the day she touched me, my life has been filled with gold.
