As an artist it is so exciting to learn about how and why other artists create whatever it is they may. As for Kira, she has been sewing since she was 8, only like so many others, her hobby was kept a secret until three years into college. While at the University of Minnesota Kira blossomed in the design program, making her decision and transition easy. Her passion for bridal came after designing a wedding gown for class that turned out incredibly. Around that time Kira also started working for David's Bridal doing alterations. With no need for another sign, Kira's future was clear... So since then she has been doing everything she can to get ahead in the industry. And even though some use starving and artist freely, and together, Kira's ideas and designs are classic, yet edgy, and elegant, but sexy... so all you skeptics can quit reading, or stick with your boring office job ;) And even more importantly, she has an endless sense for what inspires her. Specifically, the beautiful cities across the world, and their architectural elements that draw us all in. Kira's recent move to Charleston to start her business has given her a whole new city to create and design in, and impress. And for the sake of being cheesy, artists can't help but draw from past, present, and future life experiences. Kira's time in New York as an intern inspired her gown "Manhattan", being a piece of the past. And her goal of having a dress in the Barcelona Bridal Week (which is for only the best bridal couture designs), drew up the gown "Barcelona", and therefore represents her future self. And lastly, the present, the here and now, or the most exciting part because of the unknown. Kira's present ideas will be posted as they are created, so stay tuned for sketches!
For Kira, this is just the beginning, and within the next five years, watch out world, the wedding dresses we are used to are about to be old news, and boring compared to what is in store for Kira Elizabeth Designs!
