THE ROAD TO PARIS

Donation protected
IT'S THAT TIME!  PARIS CITY FASHION WEEK!!!!

THANK YOU!  THANK YOU! To all of our contributors, supporters, and well-wishers.

I have selected a group of our finest to represent this institution we call "fashion", in Paris. Our journey begins Next Week.

This is your opportunity to become an integral part of this journey. 
FOR  A  LIMITED  TIME, until NOON SUNDAY, make a donation here, as these other contributors have, and have your name included on our team commemorative shirt that will be worn in Paris by ALL the models, national and international, presenting for Fit2BTied Couture!

As soon as it is received, I will be provided a link so that you may watch the Paris Show LIVE on September 27!

* Collections created primarily from neckties.

This is my tenth year as a "passionate" artist at WILLETTE'S PRISM #309, "The TIE LADY," at Lowe Mill ARTS & Entertainment. I am the first person from Huntsville, Alabama to  show an entire fashion collection during 2019 Paris Fashion Week on the first floor of the Eiffel Tower, the epicenter of fashion! Read about it here: https://www.worldclassbrandpublishing.com/post/fit2btied-couture?fbclid=IwAR1iISYqt37oavwqUlohnpRN6UDDlweQJK5csyWff2d0RlMtyRUUlSr-mpc

Getting there and being there for a week, September 23 - October 1,  is expensive. Airplane tickets, room, meals, and incidentals.

Just as doors were opened for me while I attended ALBANY STATE UNIVERSITY (BA & BS degrees) and HOWARD UNIVERSITY (MFA degree), part of this journey is to establish two STEAM scholarships in the names of pivotal individuals who's encouragement and guidance allowed for my artistic growth, mental expansion, and strength of direction: "Dr. Lois Mailou Jones and Dr. Tritobia Hayes Benjamin STEAM Scholarship" and "Mr. Vernon Williams STEAM Scholarship". These scholarships are to assist students to explore different ways of problem-solving and approaching tools, supplies and critical thinking by cross-pollinating the science and art departments as I was encouraged to do.

I have formed a team of local professional and up-and-coming models and photographers for "The Road To Paris" series of shows/events to aid is  this fundraising effort. There will be plenty of opportunities for the public, YOU, to follow this journey via social media: Fit2BTied Couture (FB) https://www.facebook.com/Fit2BTiedCouture/?ref=bookmarks and Willettes_Prism (Instagram).

I am so thankful to have been given this opportunity to further the reach of the passions that are being cultivated here in this arena of creativity. This support would mean an opportunity to highlight a positive aspect, an innovation that is not yet associated with Alabama. 

"Throwback" show

Let's put ALABAMA on the international map of FASHION!

Thank you for the opportunity.
