Who are you?
I am a fashion designer, illustrator, wine connoisseur, and mom.
Why did you choose fashion design as a career? …
I have been designing since I was a small child. I think it is important to do what you love for a living, so this is the perfect fit for me to choose fashion design as a career. I did not have other plans for myself, so it seems thus far I made the right choice.
What according to you is your favorite part of being a fashion designer? …
There are so many aspects about being a fashion designer that I love. One of them for me is the initial creative process. I love brainstorming and coming up with new ways to design silhouettes, patterns, or new ways to put colors together.
The designs you’ve created are nothing short of brilliant, but who and which things were your inspiration while creating such designs? …
Before I answer that, thank you! I am really flattered. I get inspired by so many things. A lot of my inspiration comes from fine art, music, emotions, and life itself. I always try to incorporate an element of transformation in what I do. I like for garments to be functional yet on trend, so there is always a challenge for me on how to blend my inspiration into that. There are some designers I feel inspired by, one of them is Hussein Chalayan. I was also really inspired by Thierry Mugler when I was growing up.
Define fashion? …
I believe this definition is different for everyone. For me, fashion is an expression of the soul. It is a way for me to express what I cannot say with words.
What made you decide to start your brand?
It has always been my dream to have my own brand. After working as a designer in the NYC garment district for fifteen years, I finally decided it was time to branch out on my own. It was important for me to produce ethically and sustainably, so once I had that in place, I knew I was ready.
What do you want readers to know about you apart from design?
Fashion is something that I love, and I cannot see my life without fashion being a part of it. With that said, it does not define me as a human, it is what I do for a living. It is important for me to have balanced interests and hobbies outside of fashion to keep my mind open and curious.
What’s next for you?
Next on the agenda for me is to expand on my fashion line. I love designing my own textile prints and embroideries. I would love to start incorporating some of that into my work. Outside of fashion, more traveling for sure and picking up some new hobbies.
Any up and coming designers we should be privy to?
Beside me?? Just kidding! I think a cool designer to watch is BECCI, she is an independent designer based out of the UK. BECCI does cool feminine looks with a twist, and I love her use of color and print.
