I just want to explain a little bit of the “how” and “why” of what I do, and give a big thank you to all of my creative friends who have helped me along the way with building my business.
I am extremely thankful for the creative community I am a part of in the valley; we all lift each other up and help each other reach our career goals. As a fashion designer, there are specific routes you can take to build one’s business, and I got lucky enough to be surrounded by other wonderful creatives in the local music scene to help bolster my career path.
Many fashion designers start out in the music industry, and that is exactly what I aim to do as well. Jeremy Scott, who is now creative director of Moschino and his own namesake label, started out designing in Paris and then moving into the entertainment industry, and to this day still designs Katy Perry’s costumes for performance and videos. An extremely inspiring story, it has motivated me to support my local scene by offering fashion advice, styling services, and by selling my own creations that are tailor-made for musicians.
Being a young designer in the music industry is quite informative and rewarding and I am extremely thankful for the opportunities that have come my way because of it.
My tip to any creative of any media and avenue is to branch out and support other creatives of different mediums, it will pay off in the end and give you an outlook on other creative industries to inspire your own approach.
Thank you, again, for everyone who has supported me in my journey as a young fashion designer. My dreams of clothing musicians are coming true and it is quite overwhelming.
