Classic, feminine, discerning.

How did you fall in love with fashion?
From a young age, I always had a love of fashion. I remember as a child playing dress up with my mom’s pearls, mink stoles and heels. I grew up around formidable, southern women who believe in getting dressed up, no matter the occasion. This has certainly influenced my appreciation of fashion and its transformative impact. Exposure to stylish people from around the world inspired a desire to educate myself on fashion - designers, trends, the history. It also enabled me to develop my own unique personal style. But my love has always been innate.
