People making moves/Fashion Designer spotlight: Nicole Parrish....




Fashion world make room for my homegirl,  fashion designer Nicole Parrish.  Ladies, if you are looking for sheek, sexy and classy all wrapped into one, then this line is for you!  Nicole started designing in 1999, her line is simply entitled "Nicole Parrish". Her web site is currently being developed at this moment, and will be up and running in February, will keep you all posted.

Here is her bio so you all can get a little familiar with her:

Coco Chanel once said, “I don’t do fashion, I am fashion.” Stylist/Designer, Nicole Parrish, embodies the same attitude. Fashion has been weaving a pattern into Nicole’s persona since her childhood in Baltimore, Maryland. It started with needlework. She watched her mother, aunts and grandmother mend garments, and by age 12 Parrish was stitching her own clothes from scratch; a craft she’s been perfecting throughout her life. In 1996, she relocated to the New York City to attend the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT). The initial interest was patternmaking, but wanting to enhance her arsenal, she focused her studies in Fashion Design. It was a decision that gave her the wherewithal and confidence to start sketching ideas for her own high-end women’s line (which Parrish will launch 2010 ). Some of the inspiration comes from designers like 3.1 Phillip Lim, Catherine Malandrino, Rachel Roy and Tracy Reese.

It’s been 13 years since the transition from higher learning to high fashion, and she’s made critical use of the time. Nicole has styled for ad agency, McCann Erickson, for an ADCOLOR AWARDS Online Commercial, the 2007 HIPHOP Honors Award Show for Sean “P. Diddy” Combs, Modelinia website for Designer Charlotte Ronson’s clothing line and Laureanne Gibson from MTV’s Making of the Band reality show.

As a Designer for 10 years, she has also worked for variety of companies such as, Pastry girls Jr., Coogi girls Jr., Sean John, Apple Bottoms, ECKO Unlimited and Free Country Outerwear.
