Today we’d like to introduce you to Tiffany Hill.
T. LASHAÉ who is formally known as Tiffany Hill is a Womenswear designer. Born and raised in Northern California, Tiffany later moved to Baton Rouge, Louisiana where she began her post-secondary education.
She began majoring in Childhood Education which she is also passionate about. Although, her life took a detour when she decided to chase after her childhood dream of becoming a Fashion Designer. This led her to moving on to Western New York.
Graduating from Genesee Community College with an AAS in Fashion Business (concentration in Apparel Design) she continued her education at Buffalo State College where she received a BS in Fashion and Textile Technology (concentration in Apparel Design).
Tiffany uses her gift to artistically create and style herself/others in garments that are a constant reminder of beauty and self-worth. She encourages you today to say bye to fear and live a life of purpose!
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Smooth road? What is that? I kid, no my road was a bit rocky.
Struggle A – Not believing I had the potential to achieve
Truth – Everything I need is already inside of me. I was equipped to succeed, it is my job to do the work and perfect my craft.
Struggle B – Letting fear take over! This has been my biggest struggle throughout my journey.
Truth – Having faith is the answer. Being scared is natural but allowing fear to cripple me is deadly. Fear kills every dream and every goal and although sometimes I may be scared, I am still choosing to live a fearless lifestyle.
T.LASHAÉ – what should we know? What do you do best? What sets you apart from the competition?
I am an all-around fashion creative! Fashion Designer, Model, Stylist and Creative Director!
Fashion Designer — T.LASHAÉ is a womenswear clothing brand. T.LASHAÉ stands firm on their design point of view, confidence in what we wear. Continuously styling her in garments that are a reminder of beauty and self-worth!
Stylist — What sets me apart from others is not only my unique fashion sense but my desire to teach and educate. There is a pure joy that comes with expressing yourself through clothes and typically this is the essence of personal style.
Model — Being a muse in front of a camera is truly amazing. I look in the lens like I look in my bathroom mirror. I embrace the woman that I see and allow that to flow as each shutter sounds.
Creative Director — I use color, mood and imagery as my foundation to build upon an idea or concept. Moving forward, I work diligently with the creative team to bring the vision to life. Truly, this is the best part! I have let my creativity run wild directing multiple fashion shoots and there definitely will be more to come!
What moment in your career do you look back most fondly on?
My proudest moment so far is definitely the production of my swimsuit collection. I remember thinking to myself one random day how I wanted to create the collection. The thought drifted from my mind but came back months later and I felt it my heart that the time was then to do it. Guess what? I did just that! I used social media to find talent and put together my creative team.
Everything turned out even better than I envisioned it because T.LASHAÉ Swim was featured twice!
