Fashion is never static. It is ever-changing and only bound by time. As the time changes or moves on so does fashion.
Many different definitions and descriptions and even concepts have been postulated about with no consensus. But According to the Founder of a fashion brand, a fashion blog and online boutique being fashionable is simply “a state of mind”
“Being fashionable is a state of mind. And with the age of social media, a fashionable person can be spotted through their social media content or simply walking down the street in a beautiful eye-catching outfit. The Fashion Knot was created in order to provide high end dresses at affordable prices.
“And my online store also provides style suggestions and we truly help to bring the experience to life when shopping with us at The Fashion Knot,” she said.
She gave an insight into how the brand started and the work that has gone into it to make it a brand to reckon with.
“I knew that I wanted sophisticated, elegant, and impeccable pieces that I can sell to represent The Fashion Knot. It wasn’t long before I found a few good vendors in the fashion district that were offering to work with me. I started small by ordering samples and having my friends and family vote on the Irene that I should purchase in bulk. Once the selection was made then I had to get photography and the website graphics made. So much physical work goes into this business. Fast forward to now, I have systems in place and my business is doing great thus far. Of course things can only go up from here, and next up is building my team. ” she recounted.
