Autumn Gineen: Designer Opens Her Atelier in UpTown
Sojourner’s Truth Staff
“Atelier.” An artist’s or
designer’s workshop or studio.
“I always wanted to be a
fashion designer but didn’t want to go to school for it,”
says Autumn Gineen, who just relocated her clothing and
jewelry shop – her atelier – to the UpTown area of Toledo.
So she taught herself.

The Detroit native, who
moved to the Glass City about five years ago, starting
sewing when she was nine years old and has been in the
clothing business for 10 years, providing her designer
fashions for Toledo residents since she made the move south.
A few years ago, she expanded her vision and began designing
jewelry as well – a hobby that turned into “an everyday
thing.”
In September, Gineen moved
her shop to 1811 Adams Street, in The Truth Art Gallery,
next door to Carlos Poco Loco, where five days a week she
creates clothing and jewelry – pants, shirts, re-mix skirts,
wedding dresses, prom dresses, men’s ties, along with
necklaces and bracelets – a wide variety of items and
styles. She custom designs her fashions for her clientele,
in fact.
In addition to her own
creations, Gineen also offers sewing lessons for those who
might be inspired to create for themselves
Gineen’s Atelier is open
five days a week – Tuesday through Saturday. Find her on
Facebook or call her at 419-699-9798 for more information.
