SHEIN Distribution Corporation’s Post

We love seeing Tampa-based fashion designer De Johnea Thorpe in the headlines! She spoke with Tampa Bay Business Journal about unveiling her seventh collection with the SHEIN X Designer Incubator Program and the benefits she has seen for her business.  ✨ "Being an independent designer has so many challenges, and producing garments can be quite costly. This program is a beautiful process because it gives you a lot of control," says Thorpe. She reflected on her younger years when her mom bought her a sewing kit, "I would make little pieces and try to sell them to my friends, and I would go to thrift stores and buy wedding gowns and try to make them into something." ✨ To read the full story, visit: https://bizj.us/1qldp6
