Profile Information

A little about me:
Genaya Parris was born in Wales and lived there all her life. Her clothing started life in the heart of Cardiff. After graduating with a BA Honors Degree in Fashion Design in 2007, she always felt passionate about fashion and always wanted to make a career in the fashion industry.
Her styles of designing are for people who are not afraid to be audacious with fashion and experiment with style.

For the ladies, the garments are individual pieces that present a mix of street chick and a divine femininity that is brought to life.
For the men the prints brings the F back into fresh, fun and funky that come in a variety of colours and sizes.

She has worked on several fashion projects such as the travellers and gypsies, facilitating workshops with young people, using fashion to build self-esteem and making a positive statement.

One of her proudest achievements was working on Fashion Wales live, as a fashion tutor and event coordinator. Which is a fashion and entertainment fundraising event, for a youth based charity.
