About Me

Little introduction

Before I start to write my blogs about my passion, I want to talk a little bit about myself and who I am.

I am 27 years old and I live in Belgium but my heritage is Afro American and Belgian. To say it easier my dad is American and my mom is Belgian. I grew up in Belgium together with my mom and 2 sisters. My father, who was a basketball player went back to USA when I was 6 years old. From my early age I was always drawn to fashion and clothing. I was always combining outfits in my room and read fashion magazines. I knew very fast that I wanted to make an career within fashion.

I choose to study Marketing because I realized that I am more a sales person than a designer. Although I could definitely create clothing, I was drawn to the marketing aspects and branding. It interest me to find out what people need and how to create the an urge from consumers. I started my fashion career as many from the bottom up. My first job was in a clothing shop Zara and worked my up into sales assistant in the Louis Vuitton store. I also worked for Hugo Boss and was a store manager for a Diamond shop. After a lot of Retail experience, I wanted to grow within the sales world and now work for a fashion agency. There we sell Scandinavian brands for the Benelux market and gives me an insight on how brands present and establish their collections in different markets.

With this blog I want to show you my insights about the fashion industry but most importantly inspire you. for those who is also seeking their way into the fashion world, I really hope this can be beneficial to you and guide you to your own fashion ambitions.
