Who are you and what do you do?
My name is Casmin. I’m a 20 year old raised in Brooklyn. I’m an aspiring fashion designer. I take pride in being spiritual and being in touch with myself. I consider myself a creative being because I love my art and I believe as an artist you should never limit yourself to just one form of creating, open your horizons. I always say before I leave this earth I must be a master of all trades.
How did you first get into fashion?
From a young age, I was so adamant about being a fashion designer. I made sure I was strict with myself to be on the right path to get me there. I went to fashion high school in the city to learn everything I needed to know about creating a garment. With practice on my own time, I became confident in my pieces.
How did you first get into fashion?
My design aesthetic is sometimes about complexity. A lot of times it’s influenced by a mix of vintage early 1900’s style along with a futuristic twist. I love thinking about the future because you can be as dramatic and unrealistic as you want. It’s fun!
What are some of your favorite trends right now?
Right now it seems like people are channeling the 70’s and 80’s with their platform boots and with the use of latex and I’m loving it.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
I’m 5 years I’m hoping to be in different cities/ countries every month. To gain so much recognition and respect for my work and have people pay me big $$ to create one of a kind pieces for them. I always say if I can make a living off of doing what I love I’ll be the happiest person alive.
What is one of your favorite quotes to live by?
An interviewer asked prince, he said “you ever regret anything?..” and prince responded “ No... You take one thing out and the structure falls. “
I live by that every day. I learned to accept my mistakes they make me who I am. So every day I wake up I make sure to keep moving forward, no regrets or what if’s. It’s all trial and error. And once I make it to where I wanna be, I’ll have a great story to tell.
