Cathleen Cordova received a BA in fashion design from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY in 1991. After several years experience in lead design and production management positions with noted New York fashion design companies, Cathleen decided to combine her love of horses, country life and design by launching O'Halloran Co.

Her creativity founded a company that embraces the value of classic design and quality fabrics, combined with the practicality and innovation available with new textiles. According to Cathleen, "It's not necessary to sacrifice a great silhouette, sense of style, warmth, or comfort. You can have them all."

For several years Cathleen's focus was O'Halloran Co.'s Collection for Country Life, which included a nationally distributed catalog featuring an ever expanding scope of products. She garnered national and international notice for her 2004 New York Fashion Week debut, and has consistently caught the eye of fashion, equestrian and lifestyle media.

In 2005, she introduced the C. Cordova for O'Halloran Co. couture line to meet the demands of her clientele. "I have a keen appreciation for that special outfit to suit an occasion. Women yearn for the perfect dress, the complete outfit, the fabulous coat that makes them feel on the mark." The C. Cordova label fuses her design ideals with long upheld commitments to quality and comfort, and coexists with the O'Halloran Co. equestrian line that is appreciated for its fundamental practicality and classic design for women who are active.
