Today we’d like to introduce you to Paris Gregoire. They and their team shared their story with us below:
Born and raised in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Paris Gregiore, has always had an eye for fashion. The son of Ronnette Martin-Little and Andrew Gregiore, Paris was blessed to have supportive parents growing up. His parents have stood by him and his endeavors, both leisure and professional. It is this said support that has inspired him to pursue his passion for all things fashion. This free soul stands as an inspiration for fashion in the lives of those he surrounds. From designing and styling his mother and close friends for what seemed to be just a hobby to the launch of his brand, Gregiore. From a young age Paris always knew he would amount to something great and the people around him could not help but to think the same. The world of fashion is a realm he knows all too well. Paris started sewing in 2015 by helping out one of his close sewing friends.
Not imaging that in 2017 he would host a launch party for his brand, Gregoire. Paris started sewing his garments in his mother’s garage with one sewing machine and a round table. Now in 2023, Gregoire has evolved to include manufacturers, multiple machines and an online platform. The release of Gregiore gave him the chance to not only utilize his God-given talents but to tap into a creative dimension that sets his designs apart from any other. Custom-sown pieces that start as mere pieces of fabric, come together to collectively create something this industry has never laid eyes on. His eye for vibrant colors and patterns and attention to detail are what bring Gregiore to life. Paris lives by grace, class, and distinction, and it is these three ideals that mold his designs into what they are. Through his exuberance and innovation, Paris aims to create a brand for all people of all sizes, colors, and creeds. He enjoys even the concept of a challenge and seeks to be challenged in creating designs for even the everyday person.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Gregoire by Paris has not always been a success. There have been many days shipments have been messed up or undeliverable. And there are days where the stress of the business can take over and Paris becomes overwhelmed. With all the adversity that may come Paris holds on to the vision of the brand and remembers why he started to begin with.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
Paris is not only a business owner but also an aspiring attorney. Attending Liberty University In his last two semesters. Paris currently holds a position in Healthcare and has been in the healthcare field for the last five years. Paris enjoys church and is an ordained Elder at his local church in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Through everything PARIS does, his business is still pride and joy.
We’d be interested to hear your thoughts on luck and what role, if any, you feel it’s played for you?
PARIS does not truly believe in luck but rather what happens in his life is the result of his faith in God. The Lord has afforded Paris some exceptional offers in his life and his business. Major doors have opened to allow Paris to be successful in his career and his business. Doors from manufacturers, fabric wholesalers, and even website designers. I’m his personal life the Lord has allowed for Paris to be given the opportunity to finish his college degree at no cost.
