S.K.I.N. by Sade

Hello to all bloggers, viewers, and first timers.

Today I interview Sade via e-mail. I want to start off by saying what a talented young lady. As I follow her on Instagram her shirts are very creative and speaks for theirselves. Who can ever think a basic tee can be reconstructed into a fabulous tee. "Just Saying"

I describe S.K.I.N. apparel as Bold, Creativity, and Astonishing.

Take a look at the interview below.

1. When did you start your business?

Well I began making shirts for myself about a year ago, but I officially started my business in the beginning of this year.

2. What made you get so creative with shirts?

I always like to be different. I like to stand out from the rest. So one day I went to my grandmothers house to see if she had any shirts she didn't want because she always kept a bunch of t-shirts back in the day. I took all her old shirts, and started thinking of ways to cut them up.

3. What are some of your accomplishments as a designer?

Starting this business and working as hard as I am is a accomplishment for me so far. Being asked different opportunities from people. Getting recognition from people that I never thought would notice my work. Getting such great feedback and support from this has really pushed me to go even harder at what I'm doing.

4. Do you prefer sketching designs or actually constructing them?

I always do sketches here and there because that's just something I enjoy. When it comes to my shirts though I'd rather construct them right then and there. It comes so naturally to me.

5. What are your favorite colors to work with and why?

My favorite colors to work with would have to be bright colors hands down. It just really gets me excited! Idk, maybe because I'm a summer baby lol

6. Where can readers find out more about you and your work?

I mainly post my work on my Instagram so they can find it there and my website of course.

Website: skinnnapparel.bigcartel.com

7. Describe the general process you go through to design and realize a piece of clothing. ( Don't tell everything as a designer you keep something's to yourself) lol

I honestly don't go through a certain process. I just sit there look at the shirt and designs just start popping up in my head lol it really comes so naturally for me. Sometimes I like to listen to music because for some reason certain songs inspire my designs. Sounds weird, but it does.

8. What does fashion mean to you?

Fashion to me means to BE YOU. Wear what you love and feel comfortable in it. When you are wearing an outfit you should love it. It should show off your personality in a sense. Fashion has no rules. Yes certain things are said not to be worn together, but wear what you want don't let others tell you what your style should be. As long as you look and feel good then that's all that matters. People who stand out get noticed way before someone that looks like everyone else in the crowd.

9. How long does it usually take you to construct a piece?

It usually takes me about 2 1/2 hours to construct a piece. I'm a perfectionist. I need my work to look exactly how I envisioned it.

10. Where do you see your line S.K.I.N. apparel in 5 years?

In 5 years I see SKIN doing big things. God willing SKIN will be seen everywhere. I don't want to just create shirts. I want to go further in my business. I pray everyday that God leads my business in the right path. That he makes provision for me. He is blessing me more and more everyday. In 5 years I just want to be happy with wherever my business shall lead to. I would love to see my designs on models ripping the runway, in stores, on celebrities ect. I want SKIN everywhere. With Gods blessings great things shall happen for me. I'm just staying humble, and patient along the way.

I must say the interview I had with Sade was very interesting. She is very dedicated about her growing business and "SKIN"apparel is very unique. I would totally rock her shirts. S.K.I.N. apparel can be upscaled vs casual, which I love. She's dope. Everyone please be sure to purchase S.K.I.N. apparel and I'm sure everyone will look well in it.

You can find S.K.I.N. apparel on Instagram and S.K.I.N. apparel website.

Mia Gold Collection

Hello viewers,

Today I will be talking about an up and coming designer. The name of her Collection is "Mia Gold".

The name of the brand is catchy and it drives attention to all fashionistas. The unique way she designs is amazing.

I had a chance to interview Mia via e-mail just to get more from her as an designer and also what goes on behind the photoshoots and into the sewing machine and threads! Take a look.

Interview Below

Blogger: When did you know you were interested in fashion ? How old we're you?

Mia Gold: I became interested in fashion in high school. I went to a performing arts school so I was surrounded by creative people. When I was a sophomore I started making pieces to wear to school because I hated repeating outfits. So I guess you could say it started there. I was 13/14 when I began sewing.

Blogger: Are you a self taught designer or you went and/or going to school for fashion design?

Mia Gold: It's a mixture of them all. My father taught me the basics & I taught myself how to sew from trial & error & picking my father's brain about certain things that I didn't understand. I'm currently in school for fashion merchandising, which is basically learning the retail side of clothing & after I'm finished ill attend a school for fashion design.

Blogger: How will you describe Mia Gold clothing in three words?

Mia Gold: Sassy, chic, & quality

Blogger: What makes your clothing stand out?

Mia Gold: My clothing is custom made. Each piece is made to fit the customer & the quality of clothing is also great because of the care & time I put into each piece. I use unconventional material which sets me apart from other designers who gravitate towards spandex & mesh materials.

Blogger: Where do you see your brand in five years?

Mia Gold: Lord willing, I pray that my business will have taken off & my clothing will show at NY, Milan, & Paris fashion week. I hope to even make custom pieces for people as a fun hobby.

Blogger: Who is your favorite designer?

Mia Gold: Laquan Smith would definitely be one of my favorites. He is so young and has already accomplished so much as a designer. He sets hisself apart from most brands & also custom makes pieces which most fashion designers can't do. His new collection is absolutely beautiful & his craftsmanship is unbelievable.

Blogger: Do you try to send out a message when your making your clothes?

Mia Gold: No, I haven't really thought about that. I can say that I love to create wearable art.

Blogger: What is your inspiration?

Mia Gold: My inspiration would def have to be young women. I want to create quality pieces that still allows them to maintain a certain amount of sexiness without revealing every portion of their body. I want young women to feel beautiful no matter what they are in.


Had a wonderful interview with Mia Gold. She's such a talented designer! I believe you have what it takes in the fashion industry just keep striving through. Good luck with everything and I wish you much success in the industry! Maybe our collections will showcase in London Fashion Week one year. To one up and coming designer to another.

Oscars 2013

Hello Bloggers and Viewers

Hope you guys enjoy my latest posts.

Today I will be talking about the Oscars 2013 even though I'm two days late I just had to put my two sense in about all the gowns and how people were styled.

I came up with five different celebs that I thought looked amazing! It was very hard choosing the number one top look but I manage to go with a elegant look.

Look number 1: Naomi Watts
This dress was well put together and fit her well. The deep cut made the dress meaning it gave the dress personality . Without the deep cut the dress would of looked "blah". With my crazy imagination I can visualize it. The sparkle dress made Naomi look mature. Because usually when you think of sparkle you think about little girls. She deserve the number one spot.

Look number 2: Halle Berry
It was so hard debating between Naomi and Halle although I had to make a decision. But as I'm writing I think Halle should be number one. Halle always looks stunning no matter what she has on or what hair style she is rocking. Let me just say Halle is a good looking women. The dress Halle wore to the 2013 Oscars was costume made by Versace, yes Versace! The structure, design, and the silhouette fit her perfectly! She gave the dress spunk. Job well done Halle!!

Look number 3: Charlize Theron
Charlize Theron look was superb!! She made the peplum top so elegant and chic. I'm not sure if it was a top and a skirt or just a gown. I'm pretty sure it was a gown. The embellish design on the peplum was beautiful! The train made the fabric flow very nicely on the red carpet. Her hair cut was mature and styled nicely. Charlize Theron jewels was very exquisite. The natural look fit well with her gown.

Look number 4: Nancy O'dell
A lot of people didn't speak about her outfit but when I saw it I fell in love. Nancy dress spoke to me. "I might sound a little crazy" but what I mean it gave me life! I love how she took a risk and wore blue. Everyone tried to play it safe and stick to the whites, neutrals, blacks and silvers. But Nancy took risk with a high split. Also, she played with lots of blues! I can tell Nancy is all about fitness cause her silhouette looks stunning.

Finally look number 5: Stacy Keibler
Stacy looked simply but chic. The silvers, blacks, and sparkle. I love the design and abstract of the dress. The back of the dress really won me over.

Feeling Confident in your clothing?

Hello viewers, bloggers, and fashionistas.

I hope you guys enjoy my last post!

How do you feel when you're wearing your clothing?
Do you feel like you would get stares? Good? or Bad?
Does your clothing fit your personality?
Do your clothing fit to your physique? Shows your curves?

While wearing your clothes it is important you feel confident. Confident will help you out a lot. You have to wear confident so well that you know you will be the center of attention. From wearing faux fur coats to skinny fatigues trousers can make you or break you. But the women under the clothing needs to be confident by what she wears and how she wears it!

Showing skin, shows that a lady can be confident as well! Ladies never hesitate to be confident but always remember show confident by wearing appropriate but sex appealing clothing.

See below for confident outfits.
