Today we’d like to introduce you to Elixir.
Hi Elixir, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
I arrived to LA five years ago to take real estate classes but ended up working as a fashion sales rep for several brands at T&A Showroom located in DTLA. They gave me business/life knowledge I am very grateful for this to this day & introduced me to many valuable connections at fashion conventions in LA/Las Vegas. 2020 when Covid hit I had saved up & invested in a sewing machine, & was working out of my shop located in Broadway DTLA. I went to a tailor down the street & he believed in me so he taught me how to properly sew pieces after seeing my attempt at making my first pants. Everything changed when I finished my first pair of jeans. It was the best feeling, the world felt endless. I knew I could create anything I wanted. I kept learning & working on my craft, spending my last dollars on accessories or fabrics just so I could add to my pieces because I was never satisfied.
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?
It has been far from smooth but a beautiful journey nonetheless Some struggles included no place to sleep, hungry, & being betrayed by people I believed in. Nonetheless, I always believed in myself so much I pushed thru it all making me stronger.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I am an innovator that specializes in Fashion Design. Whether they are custom high-end & 1of1 garments, jewelry, or women’s lingerie. I’m known for my personality, and ability to create pieces never seen. Pieces that I cut and sew myself. I am most proud of making custom garments for artists my family listens to and sees on TV. Also work with artists I grew up listening to. Overall I believe getting paid to do what you love is one of the biggest blessings.
Are there any apps, books, podcasts, blogs or other resources you think our readers should check out?
My favorite app is Music; Music is my true muse where I lock into this place in my head & just make magic come to life. You know? I also listen to Andrew Tate podcasts sometimes… TOP G IFYKYK
