This immersive program allowed me to delve deeply into the creative and technical aspects of menswear design, refine my skills and cultivate a unique aesthetic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inspired by my passion for entrepreneurship and a desire to fill a void in menswear design mentorship, I founded <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lachesupplyco.com\/\">Lach\u00e9 Supply &amp; Company<\/a>, a brand centered on narrative-driven garments celebrating Black ancestral stories.&nbsp; Seeing my designs showcased by Teen Vogue and WWD solidified the belief that I could expand my brand and help other entrepreneurs along the way.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With over 15 years of industry experience at esteemed brands such as Spanx, Hanesbrands, Twentieth Century Fox, J.Stark and Andr\u00e9 3000, Inc., I gained invaluable insights into the practicalities of the fashion business and cutting-edge technologies like 3D apparel design. My experiences teaching at South Carolina State University and the Art Institute of Charleston were instrumental in honing my skills as an effective educator and refining my teaching methods to enrich the knowledge of fashion students, particularly in technical design.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, as a teaching assistant professor at the Wilson College of Textiles, I&#8217;m committed to sharing this wealth of knowledge with aspiring fashion professionals, serving as a mentor and resource for students interested in menswear design, and fostering a culture of creativity and innovation in the classroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What drew you to this position?

I start early, arriving at school ahead of time to prepare for my classes. This involves double-checking PowerPoint presentations and ensuring everything is in order before stepping into the classroom. Living an hour away means an early departure from home, but I try to make time for a workout and to walk my dog.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As an educator, I strive to be a beacon of warmth and support for each student by checking in on their wellbeing and offering assistance with assignments. Cracking jokes in class \u2013 whether met with laughter or not \u2013 helps create a positive and engaging atmosphere. I also attend my own Ph.D. classes twice a week, as I&#8217;m currently pursuing my doctorate here at the college.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once home, I manage emails for my two businesses and share dinner creations on my cooking blog, &#8220;The Chronicles of the Cast Iron Chef,&#8221; followed by unwinding with my husband.

It&#8217;s incredibly fulfilling for me to see them grow and flourish creatively, overcoming challenges and finding their unique voices in the industry. I&#8217;m excited about creating a warm and supportive atmosphere where students feel comfortable expressing themselves and exploring their potential. And you know, there&#8217;s nothing quite like those &#8220;aha&#8221; moments when a concept clicks or a project comes together beautifully. Ultimately, I&#8217;m thrilled about the opportunity to inspire and empower the next generation of industry leaders, helping them realize their dreams and make a positive impact in the world of textiles and apparel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What advice would you give to your college \/ younger self?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If I could advise my younger self, it would be to take a deep breath and enjoy the journey of exploring all that Wilson College of Textiles had to offer.

The Wilson College of Textiles had such a wealth of resources waiting to be tapped into, and I&#8217;d remind myself to make the most of every single one. Whether it&#8217;s experimenting with new techniques, delving into the latest advancements, or seeking out mentorship, I&#8217;d advise my younger self to seize every opportunity to become a more well-rounded designer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Above all, I&#8217;d emphasize the importance of having fun along the way. Design is all about creativity and innovation, and there&#8217;s so much joy to be found in exploring the boundless possibilities that textiles offer. So, I&#8217;d tell my college self to embrace the journey, stay curious and never stop pushing the boundaries of design capabilities.
