In 1962 Fogarty opened her own design house, Anne Fogarty, Inc. She expanded her lines to include sportswear and ensembles, but she was still best known for her dresses. In the 1960s, the Empire style of dress was a Fogarty favorite.

In the mid 1960s, Fogarty introduced two new lines, A.F. Boutique and Collector’s Items by Anne Fogarty. Her Clothes Circuit division was designed in part by Adrienne Steckling, in 1971-72. Anne Fogarty Inc. closed in 1974.

After her retirement, Fogarty continued to do free-lance design work. Her last collection was for Shariella Fashion in 1980.
