Focused and Talented, Designer Francoise Desmangles.

I first met Francoise, or "fran"about a year ago while she was a participating designer at the weekly fashion events sponsored by Runway the Real Way, at the Yotel Luxury Hotel in Manhattan. I was immediately impressed with her work, and how focused she was. We collaborated on a few projects, and she was always a pleasure to work with. Francoise was one of the featured designers at the Atlantic City Fashion Week this past February, and she wowed the crowd. I had the opportunity to
sit and talk with  her about how she started and her motivations:
Me: "How did you get your start in fashion, what or whom motivated you?

Francoise: " My Grandmother,..She used to make clothes for me when I was younger, and it got me into designing my own clothes".

Me: Who were your biggest motivators or established designers you looked up to?"

Francoise: Christian Dior, Givenchy, and Gucci.


Me: Where do you see yourself in the next 5 years with your work?
 
Francoise: I see myself with a couple of boutiques in new york city, and los angeles.

Francoise is awesome, and talented and she is ready,..fashion world watch out, here she comes.
