As founder of VashonShaneé, I design with purpose and passion—crafting couture that empowers, inspires, and tells powerful stories.
What makes your style stand out?
My style stands out because it blends boldness with soul. I love mixing textures, structure, and elegance with unexpected details that reflect confidence and individuality. I don’t dress to fit in—I create looks that tell a story and leave a lasting impression.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment would be walking into a room and seeing someone I’ve never met wear my design with pride and confidence. That moment—knowing my work empowered someone to feel beautiful, strong, and unforgettable—would mean more to me than any runway.
What would you do with $20,000?
With $20,000, I would invest in growing my craft through training and fabrics, while also creating opportunities to give back—such as partnering with local programs to mentor aspiring designers and donating a portion to support young creatives chasing their dreams.
