She discovered that she had a passion for fashion at the age of 14 year old. She made her first design during this time, which was a Jersey dress that laced up on both sides. She wore it to school and everyone wanted to know where she got it! She definitely was a trendsetter in school and set the bar for other inspiring fashionistas.
She worked hard on her own but she also was inspired by her husband who encouraged her to start her fashion line. Her vision exceeded even her own expectations and her brand represents those that are Fashion-forward and Trendsetters. It speaks to those who are not afraid to try something a little different (not the normal).
Her creativity expans in a varity of ways but this fall she is doing a lot of fur Leather and Lace. Once her visions are finalized on paper she brings them to life through a fashion show, which she has done so many of that she has lost count. But, it is definitely over 20. In her time doing fashion shows and being in the industry in general there isn't anything that she would change about her line, style or methods. Her goal is to stay consist and true to herself as a designer. A part of being in the fashion industry means that in her words, "you have to be able to take criticism not everybody is going to like what you do."
In her time in the fashion world she has seen a lot of different type of walks but the one that catches her eye or that she enjoys working with the most is the seductive walk from both men and women where they command your attention by just walking.
Her designers are a topic of conversation from every type of model from eye candy to high fashion, but when asked if she would choose any Supermodel to design for she choose Naomi Campbell. Since location is such a huge part of a shoot as well when asked if she could do a photoshoot anywhere in the world she choose: Dubai.
In her closing statements she wants to first thank God for even giving her the talent. Then, second she would like to thank her husband and her daughter for encouraging her to keep going no matter what. She also would like to thank everyone who allowed her to showcase her work in their magazines, fashion shows, movies,and so on!
