Lauren Conrad and Jessica Alba.
Your move from
San Francisco to Los Angeles seems like a defining moment in your career as a
designer, would you agree?
Definitely.
San Francisco was never established as a 'Fashion" City. It's mostly
geared towards independent designers and hobbyist which was great for getting
your business started but what happens after that? I knew I wanted more than
just a hobby. Designing and running my own company has always been my passion
and when I hit the highest points in my career in the Bay Area, I knew that I
still wanted more. Los Angeles was the closest I could get to New York so I
headed to Hollywood!
Which celebrity
has been the most exciting to see wear your designs?
I would say
out of all the Celebrities who have worn or purchased my pieces including
Sharon Stone, Lauren Conrad and Rhianna, I would say a lesser known actress,
Julie Andrews. She had a guest spot on Fox's Hit TV Show 'House" and wore
one of my gowns in a NY Fashion Week Segment on the show. The show aired across
the world it was my 1st time ever appearing on National Television. It was
surreal to see something that I created for millions around the world to see.
What is your
favorite piece that you are showcasing in Fashion Week and why?
My favorite
piece would definitely be my Milano Sequin Dress Collection. The vibrant color,
the sparkle and shine of the sequin and the way the fabric and the design on
the model will be absolutely breathtaking. But also, look out my Textured
Leather Dresses with my signature Galese Cuts. Not to be missed!
Your designs
tend to use a lot of sequins, why is this?
Every woman
wants to be the center of attention. Simple black is safe, but sequins will
definitely turn heads at any event
Can you
describe your customer base in three words?
Confident, Powerful, DIVA
What do you see
in the future for Kami Shade?
What's Next
for Kami Shade'? Expanding My Empire Internationally. The United Kingdom is my
second biggest market from the United States. Making these signature pieces
available for everyone to touch and feel the power of these garments. I'm
deeply connected with my brand so the sky is the limit. My passion is to make
my clients feel beautiful and confident whenever they step out in a Kami Shade'
garment.
How does it
feel to be showcasing during London Fashion Week?
It's
Amazing. I have came up with so many talented Fashion Designers in my career in
San Francisco and Los Angeles. We have all been through the highs and lows of
the business. I'm sharing this moment for all aspiring Designers across the
world. It can happen, It is possible. Keep Working Hard on your dream. This is
not just for me, its for all of us upcoming Fashion Designers growing in the
industry!
