From the day I was placed in my mothers arms, I began the road to fashionista. When I arrived home mom tried every pieces of clothing I had - there were many changes. I was the first born, first grandchild, niece and so on. Needless to say the gifts rolled in. I wouldn't say I was spoiled - but!!!
Mom was very talented & began making my clothes - including coats & hats. I have the pictures to prove it.
I began working after school, weekends, summer vacations & holidays to support my passion for clothes. My mother worked for a small privately owned store in Petaluma, California. Not the fashion capital of the world or even the West Coast for that matter.
I began my career in the stockroom - unpacking boxes (it was Christmas everyday), hanging, steaming & ticketing. From there Leon taught me how to dress a mannequin, finally sell the merchandise & the fine art of buying.
And so it began .....
