Meet the Designer

Ann Luchadé is a company specializing in women’s ready-to-wear, custom bridal, and eveningwear. Our mission is to empower individuals to showcase their distinct style and celebrate significant life events through exquisitely tailored, personalized eveningwear and bridal gowns.

Retania Ann Drain serves as the Creative Director and Fashion Designer for the Ann Luchadé brand. Originally from the honeymoon capital of the world, Niagara Falls, Retania Ann's passion for fashion design was sparked by her mother, a talented seamstress. Her mother possessed an exceptional eye for fit, meticulous attention to detail, and remarkable draping skills. This creative influence profoundly impacted Retania Ann and inspired her to obtain a Bachelor of Science in Fashion Design and Merchandise from Cheyney University of Pennsylvania in 2002. After graduating, she quickly secured her first role as a Visual Merchandiser and stylist. This passion ultimately led her to establish her signature brand, Ann Luchadé, in 2014.
