Cupcake Mafia Interview

 

Hey Dolls! so I got the oportunity to interview  Ms.skittlez , the owner of a great clothing line ,Cupcake mafia. I wanted to share this company with you guys because I know there are some of you that read this blog that would like to own a clothing line as well own a business someday, and I thought this would be a great oppurtunity  for you all to gain information from someone doing just that! Hence getting to know the person behind the brand you'll get a better feel for the brand itself.

ENJOY! :)

2.How did you get your start as a designer?

 A:Well, I first started as stylist, I always wore dope t's and I realized it wasn't enough urban street style t's to wear. I wanted to find a way to re invent these shirts by making them fun to wear, so thats exactly what I did.
