Dell Scott
Hello Rodney,
Below are the answers to your questions, the pictures will be sent in separate emails. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to contact me and again thank you for your patience.
1. Where are you from? I am originally a midwest native, born in Detroit Michigan, but I currently reside in Delaware.
2. What schools have you attended? I have not attended any fashion institutes or colleges, however I have been blessed with a natural gifting when it comes to fashion.
3. At what time did you discover that you had a keen eye for fashion and a special sense of style? I believe I knew at an early age, probably around 7 or 8 years old. I would spend endless hours looking through my mother's Vogue and Cosmopolitan magazines and then create different looks to wear to school. I had a thing for wearing dressy shoes with my jeans. I loved mixing casual styles with dressy accessories and still do to this day.
4. What were the first garments you've designed and constructed and what did your friends and family think about them? The first garments I designed, in 2015, were a bold print silky maxi dress and a lantern sleeve belted silky print dress. I received a great response from family, friends, and others as well. I started a fashion retail business in 2008, Divacoutoure, "a tour de fashion" boutique, but always felt like something was missing. When I started designing in 2015, I realized that designing was the void that needed to be filled. Divacoutoure helps to add the accessories needed to help fulfill the overall creative vision of the Dell Scott line.
5. Where to you get your inspiration for colors, textures, and shapes of your creations? Wow, my inspiration, comes from so many areas because I am such a visual person. Sometimes, I can look at a fabric or a particular color and envision an entire line, other times, I might see an accessory that makes me think of a certain style dress or I could I see decor that inspires me as well.
6. Who are your favorite top 3 designers and why? Valentino, is definitely at the top of my list! I love his attention to detail with designs and the strong desire for them to completely accentuate the female form. I also love Coco Chanel, there is nothing like a power suit and she created what would forever become a classic. Versace graces my top 3 of course. His collections allowed women to tap into their femininity with a strong mix of sensuality and edge.
7. How would you describe your latest line that will be displayed at the Tower Club show in McLean, Virginia for July? I am really excited to bring one of my formal collections to the Tower Club. My formal collection will breathe femininity and sensuality with every stride on the runway.
8. What is your philosophy on fashion in general, your personal style, and your brand? My philosophy on fashion in general along with my personal style, is to create your own style. I am not a trendy person per-say, but I will incorporate a few trends here and there. I consider my personal style to be "sexy casual" I love everything about being a woman, so whether I have on a dress or jeans, I create looks that tap into my essence. My brand taps into the femininity and sensuality of women as well. I want every woman, no matter what her culture, race, or demographic to feel the brilliance that lies inside of her whenever she wears one of my designs.
9. What does the future hold for Dell Scott and her world of fashion, style and, inspiration? Dell Scott will continue to grow as a collection that entails everything fabulous, everything fashion. Dell Scott will embody upscale custom designs, stylish accessories, and other luxurious product lines that will embody the brilliance of today's woman. All I can say is get ready to ride the Dell Scott wave!
