Fashion – New York - NYC

An independent designer focusing on one of a kind, handmade pieces made to fit. Tired of not finding what I was looking for when I was dress shopping, I decided to designing my own dresses. The dresses I wore received attention and my friends started asking me to make dress for them which gave me the idea of starting my own line. I was presented the \'Demiurge Award\' in October 2014 in recognition of what I have done so far with my work. My dresses have also been on multiple red and black carpets, by me, my friends and a couple customers. Having learned how to sew at the age of nine, I am now using my experience to create quality pieces, doing everything from choosing the textiles to finishing the last stitch and shipping out the product. I specialize in creating dresses with the individual customer, taking the time to go shopping for the dream fabric and going over their desired patterns. For the ladies that prefer to choose something already made, I keep a stock of finished dresses on hand for them to choose from. Being a signed model in one of the top ten agencies in New York exposed me to some of the best designers in New York City, which inspired me greatly to continue designing on my own. I use my experience of working with clothes to help me choose quality textiles and patterns that help enhance each individual woman\'s best features.
