I don't know why it took me this long? To do this blog!

First of all thanks for following this blog. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I will. I'm gonna discuss frequently asked questions by clients. And respond to any queries from this blog. For today I'll chat about my fashion label Sokhana Designs. It's colourful with a wild twist. For those confident and fabulous ladies. But to view more info, you can visit my website www.TheeSox.com.

I often get questions from other aspiring designers. Wanting to know how to crack it, in this sometimes ruthless industry. It's important to study and have a little bit of experience before starting your own label. You can work as an intern or assistant but you should be willing to start at the bottom.

Know and understand your brand. It took me a while to understand my true fashion self. My label only evolved in 2010, only 5 years after starting it. It might take less time for others. Because having money, will help a lot in this regard.

You will find people along the way, who will try to change your style, in order to fit in. Here I'm referring to major fashion shows that you might want to partake in. Don't change who you are as a designer! Coz then, it's  OVA and no-one will ever take you seriously after that. Even if you feel like people don't get you. You must always know that, someone out there, does!

My Mama taught me good manners and they've help me a lot in my adulthood & business. So saying 'Thank you' & 'Please' will take you further in this industry.

I hope I've been of help to some of you but please comment if you have a question. You can also suggest any other topics (within my profession) that we can discuss.
Terry Pheto in my design! Blessed!
Smooches!!!
