Melissa C. shares her story with us...
Icons 1-You create
hardware clutches, how did this all started?
Mel- It started out as a
DIY project. I wanted to create a clutch like the ones in stored. That I
refused to pay for As soon as I made my first one from a folder, someone asked
about buying it and the requests kept on coming, so it evolved from there.
Pretty soon I was experimenting with fabrics and different closures for Them.
Icons- 2- Your
style and fashion sense is unique, can you share some fashion tips with
us?
Mel- I don't consider
myself a fashionista but there is a rule I abide by when shopping. I don't buy
things that are two trendy. I'm cheap and trends fade too quickly. Before
purchasing anything makes sure it is flattering to your body and you can wear
it in different ways until you (not the crowd) get bored with it.
Icons- 3- In a
nutshell, how will you describe yourself to others?
Mel- I'm a weirdo.
Lol... A creative weirdo. I like art in all forms and love self-expression. If
I'm not creating Purses I'll be creating something else.
Icons 4- You
balance established designs and incorporated in to your own how that work does
for you?
Mel-I wish I could say it’s
all me, but I can't. All the designs stem from a collective effort. I like
to give people creative liberties so that’s why I have them email me.
I want them to give me ideas and bring them to life with some minor
adjustments. For example, someone will want "hot pink with leopard and
purple and orange" and it's my job to translate that into something
that isn't obnoxious but still what they asked for.
Icons 5- Who would you
consider a style icon? Feel free to share anything else with us, we will love
to know.
Mel -I absolutely adore
Solange. I know everyone is on the Beyoncé train right now but I love Solange
effortless style. She makes me want to paint her. She is art on legs. There's
something so understated but completely bold about her. She speaks volumes
without uttering a word. I love and am inspired my understated elegance. Kudos
to the outgoing and vivacious people but I connect with those that are in the
background.
