Today we’d like to introduce you to Avnah Long.
Hi Avnah, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
My journey into fashion began at the early age of 9 years old when I was taught the skill of crochet. That skill blossomed into a crochet line of clothing and after teaching myself how to sew, it soon transformed into the trademarked brand AVNAH within the fashion industry.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It hasn’t been a smooth road and I think when people see the beauty and glamour of the brand, they think that is so. I have had some struggles, especially in the beginning, when people did not consider what I was doing with crochet the fashion standard. Which is why I began teaching myself how to sew. I wanted to make sure there wasn’t an excuse or reason for my brand not to be accepted as a fashion brand. I developed my own aesthetic creatively, and now people understand the brand and the type of fashion designer I am.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
As a fashion designer I’m always learning and developing new techniques of design. I take pleasure in creating sculptured pieces, I embrace the design process of 3D, and I love working with different fabrics. What sets me apart is the vision I have for designs. I pray a lot, and God reveals so much to me creatively. Which I’m so grateful for. I am really just a vessel and using my gift of design to implement the visions or direction that the creator has given me.
So, before we go, how can our readers or others connect or collaborate with you? How can they support you?
