Imagine having 48 hours to design and sew a garment made entirely of candy for Tim Gunn and Heidi Klum. Oh yes, and it’s all on camera for national television!
Outfit made completely of black licorice!
Designer and all-around awesome gal, Melissa Fleis did just that!
Melissa designs chic and contemporary looks that look great for everyday and fancy shmancy events. Her newest upcoming collection, Flux, is set to come out soon! If it’s anything like her precious collections (http://melissafleis.com/defiant/), we expect structured bold collars, excellent use of black and leather, and clean, sharp designs.
Melissa recently relocated to LA after building a little fashion empire in San Francisco and we were lucky to have her on the podcast and talk about her new line, designing clothes for the everyday woman and her favorite snacks. We even exchanged some cool iron and steaming hacks (cause hey, we gotta keep our clothes looking sharp!). Our favorite hack that Melissa shared had to do with quitting smoking, and we could hardly believe her unconventional method. Tune in to the podcast to hear the complete story!
Until next time, stay hungry and curious!
