From the age of nine I have always wanted to have a fashion brand. Cutting up my mums fabrics and sketching designs on any scrap piece of paper I could find. Through out my career I have encountered women who posses such inner beauty but don't really see it in themselves.
The purpose of starting the brand is to highlight the genuine beauty of women and to help build their confidence to wear their desired items without limits. I want to help women define their identity through style and be unapologetic about their beauty. Our identity is one of the most powerful tools, we as humans have. And fashion is simply one way of demonstrating to the world who you are without speaking a word.
