Why I Love Fashion?

I believe fashion has many connectivity points for many different women, but my sense of fashion and link to the fashion world began with my mother's love for fashion design. I was raised in a world of fashion and the arts. From the time I can remember, my mother has designed and altered clothing for different types of people.

I can remember many-a-times sitting in a room full of women, one lady on an elevated platform as my mother measured, pinned and prepared each lady at a time, matching the exact desires of the bride and groom. It was so much fun for me as a young girl to tag along and watch the entire process from beginning to completion.

She would design and make dresses for the entire bridal party, from the bride to the cute little flower girls!

I can also remember my mother's offer to work as a fashion buyer for a major department store (choosing the clothes for that would land in the department store each season), her days as a key makeup artist and a house full of fashion magazines.

Not only did my mother's love for fashion drop like seeds into my little heart, but it has become the foundation and spring-board for my very own dreams and where I am headed today.

For me, fashion is a way to love people, connect with women from all different backgrounds and relate to them on a heart-to-heart level.

For me, fashion is a way to heal people, building up the self-esteem of the most broken but beautiful faces.

For me, fashion is a way to adorn people, placing emphasis on their greatest traits, learning their unique characteristics and bringing the best out in people- helping them to see their GOD-given beauty from the inside out!

There's nothing like dressing a model, doing a woman's make-up, trying on new clothes, matching up cool character pieces and creating a finished product- all while having fun and bonding woman-to-woman!

Fashion connects women together from different ethnicities, value systems and cultures...Bringing us all together, making a better world.
