Tell me a little bit about yourself? I am Debra Storey, owner/ designer of Blazzian Collection. I am also a wife and a mother of three amazing children: Jojo, Haley and Tristin. I was born and raised in Manila, Philippines, and I am fluent in Tagalog
Where are you located? The fabulous Las Vegas, NV
What inspired you to become a fashion designer? My mom and my collection of Barbie dolls when I was growing up. My mom had her own import/ export clothing business in the Philippines, and she would always travel internationally and attend meetings in style. She was always in high end designer wear such as Christian Dior, Louis Vuitton and more.
Do you have a favorite type of material you like to work with? I love working with sequin, mesh, tulle, and neoprene scuba fabric. I primarily love working with stretchy fabric.
How long have you been a designer and how have your designs changed over the years? We have been in the business for 3 years now and since our brand is all about classic fashion with an edge, we have grown to be edgier over the years while staying classy.
How has COVID-19 affected your business? Quite a few fashion shows we've been invited to this year were postponed, however, this has given us the opportunity to show our audience a different side of conducting shows such as participating in a few virtual/ online fashion shows this year. Being creative is not only about designing but also about event organization.
What does the future hold for you and your brand? Blazzian Collection is a brand that caters to the high class yet edgy client base. Out plan is to push our brand to well-known celebrities, politicians and more. 2021 is right around the corner and we’re geared up to push harder for the years to come.
