Education : Qualifications, High School & College Info

Immediately after high school, Kestenberg became a student at the Royal Melbourne Institute for Technology RMIT University. While there, she studied Industrial Design and earned a degree in Design Engineering and Ergonomics.

Despite her degree from RMIT, Aimee always had dreams of living in New York and studying at the prestigious Parsons School for Design. This dream came true after a grueling five-month application journey, and at just 20 years old, she packed her bags and moved to the USA.

Career, Job, Salary and Net Worth :

As soon as she landed in America, Kestenberg got straight to work and combined her studies in New York with internships, fashion competitions, and apprenticeships.

During an exciting and eye-opening three-year period, she worked as an intern for several famous brands, including Isaac Mizrahi, Ralph Lauren, and Alexander McQueen. She also interned at the ‘Mercedes Benz Fashion Week’ before moving on to work under industry legends at the esteemed House of Couture.
After graduating from Parsons School for Design, Aimee caught the eye of the Global Brands Group.
While working at the Global Brands Group, she met and formed a close personal/professional relationship with her future husband, Sean Elan. The two decided to take a risk and build their own brand.

Aimee chose to focus on the creative aspects of the business, while Sean concentrated on all things finance and administration.
In the beginning, she worked from home, but as their brand grew bigger & as investors took an interest in their ideas, they moved on to a bigger, more professional working space.
The duo began by launching the Aimee Kestenberg Handbag Collection in November of 2012. Two years later, they created the company, Affordable Luxury Group.
