Moving to Miami gave Shantall a fresh start to pursue her fashion dreams full time. They now live in Miami with their young son. Three years ago, Shantall and her husband abandoned Nicaragua in order to escape political violence. Although Shantall always wanted to pursue a career in fashion, that career did not exist in her country, so she studied marketing. At the young age of 13, she started her own business at school, where she made and sold stretch-shirts for her friends for $2 in order to help her single mother pay the bills. Growing up in Nicaragua, Shantall Lacayo was taught to sew when she was only four years old by her grandmother. Having two daughters of her own, she is fearlessly avid in creating a better life for her kids and ensuring that her two daughters will be motivated to follow their dreams. As a black female designer, she is passionate about the lack of representation for people that identify like her in fashion world. Two of her collections were even presented at New York Fashion Week.

Her couture pieces are designed for strong, powerful women while also injecting 'Disney Princess' silhouettes. Her designs range from luxury streetwear to ready-to-wear couture. However, prior to her father's death, she began by making clothes for her Barbies out of socks. She developed her fashion skills through countless hours of practice and primarily focuses on her self-titled line, Chasity Sereal, launched in 2009. Chasity's father was the artist of the family-he had a talent for sketch art and was whom she inherited her artistic side from. Nicknamed 'Lady Godiva' by her father, she suffered the tremendous loss of his death at the age of 12.

As a high school junior, she got her start by designing senior prom dresses. He designed a garment for the Mayor of Atlanta, Keisha Lance Bottoms, which he is very proud of.Ĭhasity Sereal grew up in Houston, Texas, and prides herself on problem solving. In 2020, he worked with very prominent clients such as Tanya Sams, Tierra Wack, Paula Wallace, and Lori Harvey. His designs have been featured in Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue, France, and Hong Kong. Zayden also came up with his very own genre of fashion called 'Urban Avant-Garde Streetwear' that embraces 'The Culture.' Although he has been in business for only one year, Zayden has been featured in Vogue Italia, Teen Vogue, Essence, and WWD and was chosen to represent SCAD in the CFDA fashion future graduate. His current collection is called Avant Oppidan: The Misrepresentation of Black Designers in the Fashion Industry, which describes the history and struggles of Black people and the lack of talented Black fashion designers in America. Remarkably, he quickly went from being homeless to being the only Black man to graduate from Savannah College of Art and Design in his class with the MFA, the highest degree in fashion with honors. After completing his Bachelor of Science degree in Business from Alcorn State and working in the corporate world, Zayden decided to move to Atlanta to pursue his master's in fashion. He was inspired to pick up a needle and thread when he saw all the great clothes that his mother and grandmother would make for him and his sisters. Zayden Skipper was raised in Chicago by a strong tribe of women who grounded him, making sure he would utilize his talent to his fullest ability. Although she went through hardships in 2020 and had to move back to Michigan to live in her teenage home, she is ready for the next chapter in her life. Sabrina's passion for patterns and embroidery comes from her various cultural experiences. She draws inspiration from modern architecture for the silhouettes and shapes of the garments she creates. In 2013, she created her self-titled line, Sanowber, and has received recognition at numerous events and publications such as Charleston Fashion Week, St. In 2000, both Sabrina and her sister were adopted in the United States by their great aunt, whom she now calls Mom and feels is her 'true mother.' Sabrina's eye for design bloomed during her time in Afghanistan while watching her birth father work as a tailor. Tragically, her mother died during their journey, and Sabrina's dad was left to care for her and her siblings. Originally from Afghanistan, Sabrina Spanta and her family fled the Afghan war to a refugee camp in Pakistan.
