The beginning....

Some of you may be wondering how I decided that I wanted to "change the world through fashion". I've always believed in good causes and hoped for a better world but I stood in the background and watched and criticized things that were going wrong but never really did anything about it. And as much as I wanted to, fear held me back.

It was a very tragic event that finally opened up my eyes and gave me the courage to fight for everything that I believe in and realize that yes, I CAN and WILL make a difference in this world.Two years ago, a young man opened fire at Virginia Tech and killed 33 people including himself. There were countless articles trying to figure out why he did it, pointing the blame at his family, at his education, at his social circle, God. A woman actually blamed God. She was quoted in the Los Angles Times, "This is your world God....why don't you do something about it." I was in complete disbelief. And then a second later, I said out loud, " No. It's our world. Why don't we do something about it." I made a pact with myself that from that moment on, I would step up to the plate and do everything I could do to help the world become what we have always hoped for.

Now, I'm not a politician or a civil rights activist...I'm a Fashion Designer who has a really big heart and finally has the balls to go out there and take a stand. I will help "change the world through fashion" by planning fundraisers and creating awareness. I will also donate a percentage of my sales and proceeds from the events to a different charity organization every year. One garment at a time....Thank you for your support.
