Bill, who was previously head designer with Jordan Fashions, will take up the role of senior designer and will be responsible for leading all bridesmaid, special occasion and flower girl development at the bridal brand house.

A graduate of the Fashion Institute of Technology, Pesce began his career designing and constructing costumes for the Broadway Theatre. He first entered the bridal industry as a special occasion designer for Demetrios, and then moved to Jim Hjelm where he designed its bridesmaid collection for 12 years. While at Hjelm, Pesce received the DEBI (Distinctive Excellence in the Bridal Industry) for style innovator in the bridesmaids category. He most recently worked at Jordan fashions where he designed all lines for the label for 17 years.

“I have known Bill for many years, and know he will be a great addition to our design team,” said Michele Piccione, chief creative officer at Alfred Angelo. “We look forward to having his creative excellence and valuable insight incorporated into the future design of our collections.”
