I'm 5'1 barefoot and up to 5'5 in heels. Too short to be a model sadly but that's not much of a problem. The problem is finding clothes that fit. Sadly little kids clothes like the ones at Limited Too fit me better than the pants at Forever21and I love that store! So I searched online and some of the clothing store that sold clothes for petite women were hideous. So being fresh out of school and after talking college courses in design i decided to do a clothing line for petite women only. So far I've done jewelry because as any designer knows, clothes take more time. My clothing designs will be up for grabs in my etsy store in January 2010! I'm so excited. I even found a model to wear them.
I've been asked, "What the deal with naming your shop 'Complicated Romance'?
Anyone 5'5 and under knows that life in the fashion world is a little complicated. Especially is you're a women. Sometimes our legs aren't long enough to fit the pants or our curves are busting the seams. We are constantly in a love-hate relationship with our clothes. We criticize and critique the super tall and skinny models on the runways and no matter how hard we try we're not gonna get any taller without the help of heels. My one of a kind fashion is for women who like to stand out and set the trend instead of following it.
I'm in love with fashion because it's an art. We were born as naked canvases and the clothes we wear make us living art.
