Since I launched Noble Magazine, my family’s life has changed forever. My mom and my aunt have both ignited their passion and joy for fashion. For a while, they both felt like their gifts were lying dormant, however, Noble Magazine has restored their passion and united our family in a tremendous way. Our hope is to inspire a generation of women and men around the world!
Noble magazine has opened me to many opportunities and has given me a platform to showcase my families work. On February 19th, I attended my first Philly Fashion Week Event. The theme was Art & Fashion. The attire included Couture/ Wearable Art/ Upscale. Before attending the event, I knew what dress I would wear! I immediately called my aunt and told her I was attending a Philly Fashion week event and planned on wearing the Valentino Haute Couture Spring/Summer 19’ remake. My aunt was so proud and excited.
The night of the event I walked into the fashion event and felt inspired. To be in a room filled with creative minds that are from my community was life changing! The reaction to the Valentino Couture Remake was overwhelming. The night of the fashion show event I was asked for my dress to be part of an exhibition for their Friday event. I felt honored and humbled.
On Friday February 21st I stood as a representation for my mom and my aunt who are both immigrant parents of Haitian and Cuban decent. Since starting Noble, they have both recommitted to the gift that of designing and creating. My aunt and mom have both found joy as their creative gifts, have blossomed. I hope to inspire women around the world not to lose sight of their passion for fashion.
As I reflect on that day, I am reminded of one of my favorite biblical verses: “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” -Jeremiah 29:11 My hope for Noble magazine is to inspire people all around the world to express and believe in their creative God- given gifts. We are all, NOBLE.
