Meet Michele. The Top Banana

Michele Cosentino is the creative behind Top Banana. Her designs are
inspired by her childhood in Upstate New York. A simpler time, the 1970’s
and 80’s, when summers were long and full of boredom, time was told by ringing church bells and illuminated street lights prompted a quick bike ride
home for family dinner.

Michele is Dyslexic. She has a B.A. from Boston University. She studied
graphic design at the Portfolio Center in Atlanta, GA. After a 15 year graphic design career in NYC, she returned to school at Parsons School of Design
and received an AAS in Fashion Design.

Michele lives in Westport, Connecticut with her husband Ari, their son Uzi, daughter Wallis and a cat named Lady Di. The latest addition is Waffles, an American yellow lab.
