Carmen brady is a graduate of both the university of Tennessee, knoxville and fashion institute of design and merchandising. carmen has always been inspired to help people feel their best which informed her choices to study both nutrition science and fashion design.
carmen's love for design was born at a very young age. princess dresses, barbie dolls, fashion magazines, and the style network were her gateways into the life she dreamt of. a world where everyone dressed as the most fabulous and fully expressed versions of themselves and felt completely fearless in doing so. this is a world she chased as she began styling herself and designing her own collections. eventually, this love came front and center when carmen decided to transition from her career in health and devote herself to fashion full-time.
“I know how to dress people to make them feel sexy, young, excited about themselves and their potential. I have been studying fashion my entire life so I always know what trends are on the verge of taking over the market. I am always ahead of the curve and the best dressed in the room. I will reference anything that inspires me and am always looking for new exciting collaborations. My areas of expertise include fabrics, color and print mixing, proportion and silhouettes, notions and embellishments, and of course, styling.”
