In the post, I reminisce on how my relationship began with Lasheya Diaz, the designer behind Shades of Shea (whose catsuit I’m wearing above, and whose dress I’m wearing below).
I wrote, “I first discovered Shades of Shea when I co-hosted The UGA F.A.M show in New York City. The designer of the line, Lasheaya Diaz, gifted me a dress at the show, and later revealed that she figured out my measurements just by eyeing me and studying my pictures. She’s a genius!”
“After I wore her dress for the first time (and loved it!), we decided to collaborate again.”
I continue, “Here’s a tip for young designers. If you want to get your items seen or ‘discovered,’ try to find a way to get close to someone with a following, whether they’re an Instagram star, editor, celebrity, actress, or singer! There are a million brunches, shopping, and cocktail events (!) going down around the nation, where you can potentially meet any of the above.”
“I’d suggest you, the designer, wear one of your pieces. I always ask designers if they’re wearing something from their line. You’d be surprised how many times they say no! You have to be a walking billboard for your brand…”
