Hi everyone,

Phoenix Fashion Week is from October 1st through October 3rd this year, and I’m excited to announce that I will be part of their Emerging Designer Bootcamp series for 2015! This year, Phoenix Fashion Week introduced 13 new Emerging Designers in a 10-city tour of the US. There has been so much support on Twitter from these emerging designers and I’m so excited to be a part of this amazing cause.

A huge thank you to @Kym_Gold & @PHXFashionWeek for providing this #emergingdesigner with wisdom. #certifiably pic.twitter.com/gjTIGWlLuV
