Fashion – Miami
I started sketching styles at the age of 11. Then at the age of 13 I started learning how to sew in Home Economic class. Then it became an addiction. In high school I sketched my latest styles I own like a lot of portfolios. At the age of 17 I sewed and designed my own costume for a talent show I was in. I made a dress without a pattern. My mom, My ant and my grandma use to sew. You can say that it runs in the family. I learned that my Mom designed clothes for my other siblings because clothes were too expensive back in the days. So she cut and sew all of her designs. But I wanted to better my sewing and designing so I took classes at Miami Dade college. I graduated with an associates degree. Then I met Marie Jouberthe in 2008 she taught me how to design my own patterns. Although I still buy patterns from my favorite store Joann Fabrics since I see styles that I like. But I still make them my own. I have done 17 fashion shows so far, I want to do at least 20. I am looking for exposure and benefits of doing a showcase. Also to draw more audience to my work of art. The Juwl'z consignment store which is located in Homestead Florida accepted my collections. I sold 18 collections until the store went out of business in December 2015. I like anything that is classy and in style. My thing of fashion is I want girls and women to feel comfortable and confident in what they wear. I also want them to feel good about themselves. I like wearing my clothes. I always like it when they ask me Did you made that? I feel so proud to tell them yes I did! The theme behind Colors Are Beautiful is any style that's simple and modest. I don't like styles that are too complex. Although at times I do design clothing that are complex. At times I like to think outside the box. I just love the innovation of fashion. I always have a passion for fashion. My next step is to design menswear and boys-wear. My collections got accepted in another consignment store in my area, it's called Consignment Corner. The store owner liked and picked out 14 collections of mine to sell, and if they do sell more will be going to that store. I always wanted to work in fashion, I know it's going to take years to do so but I will not give up on my dreams. I am currently attending Florida Technical College at Cutler Ridge. I am studying Business and Marketing and Entrepreneurship so I can learn how to manage my business, I always wanted to open my own boutique so people can just walk right in. I am also doing a lot of photo shoots using models from out of state to build my career up. Now I am actually sponsoring a model her name is Krystle Ramcald she is doing an ad campaign and billboard in my designs. So I can't wait to hear about the updates. Yes she has been modeling for me a lot and I am glad that I chose her to promote my designs. I also have been teaching Fashion Design to people that wanted to learn and I know them very well. I want to get back into that. As of this month of March I have been hired from a client/designer to design swimwear for her line. She is already pleased with my work. She is paying me really good. That’s what I like when I get recommendation for my designs.
