ABOUT

Hi! I am the designer and creative director at TaLisa Michelle. I received a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Fashion and Retail Management from The Art Institute of Washington in 2011. I have a tenure of two years at Ralph Lauren and I have worked as a volunteer at New York Fashion Week for Vivienne Tam, Lela Rose, and G Star. I describe my designs as classic, sexy, feminine and timeless. " I design for the woman who is sexy yet powerful, traditional but not afraid to take bold risks, and most importantly, the woman who knows who she is and understands exactly what she wants. This is the woman who wants and deserves to look good."- Talisa






INSPIRATIONS

I am inspired by the everyday woman as well as Hollywood glamour. I try to add a touch of glamour and sophistication to each of my designs, while making it wearable at the same time.
