What is a Dream? Is it something that you have a night? Is it something
that has an age limit? What exactly does a dream consist of? All of these
things are questions that we ask ourselves when we have many dreams that we
want to see come true.
Genee Robinson is a dreamer that
happened to make her dreams come true. She is an inspiring Fashion illustrator
and designer from Washington, DC. with a degree in Fashion from Howard University.
Genee always knew that she would be on that runaway in New York for Fashion
Week. Once she graduated it was time to
be on the ultimate job hunt for the perfect job. She worked in a non-profit in DC for three years and then she worked as an Executive
Manager at Target. While she was there she used her position as a vehicle to pursue her dreams, she recently quit her job at target to commit to pursing her dream full time in LA.
Many people that love fashion always dream to have their own
clothing line, shoe line or their own store, but many of these people don’t
have the talent of fashion illustration. They just want to style. Genee is a talented
fashion illustrator and with this hidden talent she opened up a lot of
opportunities for herself, which she
always knew she could accomplish. I call
this talent hidden becasue she never shared her work publicly because it was so special to her and she was very sensitive about her work. So all of her posts on Instagram and Tumblr was her reveling moment to the public. While she is still adjusing to sharing her talent publicly Genee is very vulnerable about being so open, but with the support and encouragement from her family and friends she is going to go far.
With her new talent in hand, Genee is in LA sharing her illustrations
by doing a lot of contract work and designing business cards. Suite_G is the name
for her design line. I personally had a
chance to look at her designs and I can truly say I was in fashion heaven. When she is ready to release her new line I hope
that all the other fashion lovers and dreamers are ready, because her line is
colorful, stylish, and very fashion forward. Throughout her line she has
something for everyone no matter your shape, size or style.
When I asked
Genee what was her ultimate goal when it came to her designs she responded; “she would love
to open a boutique in the LA area but she would like to stay very small ”.
I’m anticipating her line expanding beyond the DC and LA area, because her designs are incredible. When you
look at her designs you can see the authenticity in every piece and with that
she is going to go a very long way.
When you think of the definition of a dream coming true Genee
is a true example she leaped out on faith by quitting her job and moving to
another city with no family or friends and she made her dream into reality. Never
be afraid to chase that dream no matter what the situation may be with
dedication, hard work and time your dream will turn into reality. Since Genee
jumped out on faith I am sure her beautiful, outstanding, creative and
different designs will take her right to that runway at New York Fashion Week.
