Time for a positive blog!
I feel like we haven't had one of these positive blogs in a while. We need to remember our mission, and that is to uplift and shed light of the people doing great things not only for themselves but for the city as well. More positive blogs will continue to come as we grow and try to use this "fake fame" to help everyone reach their goal(s).
Over this past weekend I sat down with @LaFashionWhore and asked her a few questions about herself and her clothing line. We discussed this such as what made her want to be apart of the fashion world to what were some of her favorite fashion lines. Enjoy the interview and also go out and support her fashion line.
We can't make it to the top without some help!
What drove you into the world of fashion?
At an early age, I knew I wanted a career in fashion. I would read Ebony Magazine to see the fashion section and became fascinated with designers. I enjoyed being able to express myself thru creativity.
Do you or anyone on your team have a fashion degree?
I (Nik) have a Bachelor Degree in Fashion Merchandising, Sheek does not have a degree in Fashion. Her educational background is Social Work and Family Studies.
What current fashion line inspires you?
We are inspired by many brands, but most importantly we are inspired by our day to day life and struggle. We make stuff that we like and could see ourselves wearing.…..and people seem to like it too.
What is your all-time favorite fashion line and why?
I am a lover of vintage designer. I love vintage luxury from designers like Versace and Gucci. That’s classic fashion, staple fashion. Their designs are timeless.
Who is your target market?
Our target market is anyone that enjoys fun, different fashion. If we had to put an age range it would be 16-25.
Do you ever plan to make men's clothing and/or accessories?
We currently have a unisex tank out right now, “Generation of Grinders”. This is a term we feel applies to both genders. In the future we would like to expand our brand to both men and women. We are also developing ideas for accessories.
What are your goals for the next five years for your brand?
In the next 5 years we would to expand product line as well as reach more stores And boutiques. Overall, we want to continue to build awareness about our brand.
