Preparing for the opening of Designers' Lounge on
OlenaInStyle.com (a special section for fashion designers where we will discuss established and new talents as well as the upcoming opportunities or designer contests/shows), we have interviewed Avnah Couture, an Atlanta designer and wardrobe stylist with a creative couture collection that has been featured in a number of magazines and local fashion shows:
Olena: What does design mean to you: work or a lifestyle?
Avnah: For me it is a lifestyle because it's something that I want to do daily and it is a part of my life. I believe work is something you have to do.
Olena: How would you define the style of your clothing?
Avnah: The style of my clothing is Crochet Couture. It is basically your runway attire that is crocheted. The fact that it is crocheted gives it and unique appeal.
Olena: How long have you been designing clothing?
Avnah: I have been designing clothing since 1995 but I got serious about it and exploring different fashions about seven years ago.
Olena: Could you name people you were most proud to work with in your career (honestly)?
Avnah: I have too many people to list but I can honestly say that there isn't a person that I hated working with.
Olena: If you had a chance to create a collection of your dreams, what would it be and how would it look like?
Avnah: If I had a chance to create a collection of my dreams, it would be my own collection that I have now. I watch a lot of designers and they do inspire me creatively but I love my present collection.
Olena: Why are you in fashion design?
Avnah: The first reason is because I love every aspect of the fashion industry form the wardrobe, hair and makeup. Secondly, because I love to make people look and feel beautiful and unique. And also because it is my passion. I wake up and think fashion...I breathe fashion.
Olena: If you had one wish in life to come true, what would it be?
Avnah: To make sure my children stay on the right track, remember how to treat people humanly, remember the morals that I've taught them and live productive lives. My one wish would be for my children.
Olena: Can you give a solid style advice to all the readers in 1 sentence?
Avnah: Whatever dream you have in life-pursue it!
