DESIGNERS STORY
Since childhood, I’ve harbored a passion for fashion design, envisioning and creating beautiful clothing from my vivid imagination. In my twenties, during the 2000s, I pursued my dream in Los Angeles, CA, where I studied at LATTC and honed my craft. Starting in production and design, I later became an assistant designer for two sweater companies. My career took a significant turn when I seized an opportunity to work as a designer for a contemporary start-up clothing line. Over time, my designs gained recognition and were picked up by prestigious retailers like Nordstrom and Anthropologie. Despite moving away from California, my journey in fashion continues as I embark on the exciting venture of starting my own clothing line. I aspire for this endeavor to blossom from tees into a full-fledged ready-to-wear collection that is eclectic and adds a purposeful nature to my brand, “Davie” by incorporating messages of self-love, spreading love to others and adding a meaningful positive dimension to the brand.
DAVIE
“The name ‘Davie’ was inspired by my friend’s little black cat. I found the name very well suited for a little girl cat, to be incredibly cute and juxtaposed. It struck me as catchy, and had a certain sweetness or femininity associated with it, which adds to its charm and uniqueness when applied to a little black cat- almost cerebral in its appeal. This blend of qualities is exactly what I aspire for my clothing line to embody—charming yet thought-provoking, with a distinctive and unforgettable essence. It’s a versatile name that doesn’t pigeonhole my brand into a specific style or demographic. It leaves room for the clothing to speak for itself, whether through its design, fabric, or messaging.
