Candace Akari

Fashion – Houston

AKARI creator, Candace Simpson, has had creative blood flowing through her body since she was a child. A native of Houston, TX, Candace\'s background in fashion design is first rooted in her childhood days. She often reconstructed vintage clothing and clothes that didn\'t fit her as well as she\'d liked. Her earliest memories are from working with a needle, thread and oversized t-shirts to transform them into gorgeous custom made shirts and dresses. This is where she developed an appreciation for detail and quality craftsmanship and most of all - her passion for design. Because she believed the market lacked creative expression and felt she could deliver something unique and innovative, Candace found her niche in developing her brand AKARI and aspires to be successful in doing what comes naturally. Through AKARI she creates work that conveys her vision by blending the originality and creativity of fashions past, present, and future. AKARI attracts fashionistas, stylists, models, mothers, students, young professionals, and those who simply want to feel like one of a kind. AKARI is dedicated to bringing bold and creative ideas to the market. It was designed to capitalize on the growing popularity of local designers, and has recently been described as \'The place to pick up something fresh and stylish\'.
