ANORA BY NYSHA KING
Hello! I’m Nysha King. I was born in New Orleans, Louisiana and moved to San Antonio, Texas due to Hurricane Katrina.
I was then accepted to The University of the Incarnate Word. I graduated with a BFA in Fashion Design and a minor in Business Management. During my time at UIW I took a course in Sustainability and it made me begin to think what I can do to help the fashion industry not be the highest industry contributing to CO2 emissions.
I like to design with the Earth in mind, and I’ve prioritized eco-conscious design. I source cotton-blend, and/or linen material, thrifted materials and deadstock materials. My design style now focuses on timeless, business-casual pieces, emphasizing craftsmanship and sustainability.

M. JEANNE APPAREL
I’m Marjorie mom of 4 girls. I officially started my fashion journey in 2013. I have been working as a hairstylist for 30 years and there is nothing more rewarding than being able to make a difference in a person’s life by helping them feel good about themselves. So from there, I began to sew clothes, wanting to specialize in trendy styles for the heavy breast and plus size women, to give them the full package from head to toe. When you look good, you feel great! Your confidence level soars, allowing you to go do things you wouldn’t have dreamt of. To know that my designs played a part means the world and lets me know I made the right decision to follow my passion in fashion. Design is about self expression. You can be the quietest person in the room but what you’re wearing and how your hair is styled can speak for you. I want to be the voice that speaks for you when you wear my pieces.
