Growing up, I was always interested in the latest styles and fashion trends, but when I'd search for those pieces, I could never find them in my size, or they were just too expensive. So I decided to take things into my own hands by designing and producing sustainable pieces that I could wear. This led me to my enrollment at Howard University, where I graduated with my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Fashion Design. There, I've showcased my work in numerous fashion shows, which has resulted in features in D.C. Fashion Week, New York Fashion Week, and Teen Vogue.In my designs, I like to incorporate different forms of media, pops of color, and intricate details that give my pieces texture and impact people's emotions. While I have experience in womenswear and menswear, I enjoy making clothing that is unisex and can be worn by people of varying body types and sizes.When I'm not designing, you will probably catch me learning about different art forms to help inform my work. I also love producing music, which has always been a passion of mine.If you would like to connect, please feel free to do so here or directly at gbates882@gmail.com.
