N. Monique Brown, also designer of her label Pure Vine Design was discovered by Model4Jesus founder, Mayra Gomez. Soon after she participated in the Life In Fashion, Fashion Show on March 6th, 2010. Monique's designs are very new, fresh, and unique due to the meaning behind each design she creates.
So I sat with Monique for a one on one to try to get to know her, and just had to share with all of you readers.
Here it is:
When did you begin making designs on clothing?
I began designing in 2009; it wasn't until I began to take the last of my courses in college that I recognized my love for the art of Graphic Design and began to experiment on materials such as package designs, canvas paintings, and clothing.
What do you love about what you do?
I love that with all the art that is present in the world I still have something to offer, and display them on clothing. I enjoy taking something that is plain and simple making it into something interesting and unique, with a touch of class and authenticity.
Why do you love it?
It allows me to express myself and provide unique designs to people who enjoy thinking out side of the box. It is a form of freedom and joy.
What is your purpose?
My purpose is to open a clothing boutique, to makePure Vine Design a house hold name. Impressing upon my customers to support green materials as well as support different human organizations here and abroad.
I was inspired to begin my own business, when I learned that I would rather work hard for myself than anyone else. The thought that I can miss time with my children, was unacceptable. I have been there and done that and felt there has got to be more to life. I have read and heard so many success stories on people who just took a chance and became successfulI, I thought, "Why can't I?". My family also played a huge part in my decision to get out there on my own, my mother, husband even children encouraged me. I thought to myself, "Why not?". With GOD there is nothing you can't achieve and be successful while doing it. Fear put my dreams and hopes on hold for years, now I can quote with confidence that GOD gave us not a spirit of fear but of love, peace, joy and a sound mind.
