we would love to hear about how the launching of the brand began

Well I actually first started my "brand" back in 2009 by creating custom gowns for clientele/celebrities.

I first gained my big break when I was in a huge design competition by Cotton Incorporated.

I was competing against top designers who had tons of experience, I had very little experience

at this time and I won. This is when the press started noting that I'm a future talent in the industry.

After doing gowns for quite sometime, I moved into jewelry/accessories because of the economy.

I first created my jewelry line last year and have had amazing reviews since.

Is there a distinctive feature seen in your collection?

It's a lot of bold pieces, skulls, crosses and heavy chains. Feel like it's so appropriate for the industry right now with relevance and a taste of the future.

what kind of image is Isaiah Garza customers?

The Isaiah Garza customer is someone who isn't afraid to express themselves with what they wear.

They don't hold back, they are tastemakers and aren't followers. An Isaiah Garza customer can walk in a room and what they are wearing will probably do enough talking for them.

Most of all they NEVER blend in with the masses!

What do you foresee the trend for this S/S 12?

Definitely a return to grunge I've always just had such an edgy side to me.

I think edgy is so saturated/watered down in the fashion industry right now.

It's hard to dod it right, but I feel like I got a great response and it's a hit.

Last message is do what you want and don't listen to what anybody else says. I got this far by trusting myself

and keeping a focus on the end goal. If you don't plan all the way to the end you can only get

so far. The power of self-belief will make all your dreams come true.
