Nephi Garcia

Fashion – Salt Lake City

My name is Nephi Garcia, and I have been designing and sewing since I was 12 years old. Born and raised in a small town in the Philippines, I was taught to sew and design by my mother and grandmother, and am a 4th generation designer in my family. I spent long hours at the foot of my grandmother\'s sewing machine, fascinated, watching her create beautiful articles of clothing. I believe that adding passion to everything you do will create a masterpiece. A woman\'s figure is like a blank canvas to me; draping and embellishing it with the right fabric and some accessories can enhance this beautiful silhouette.
