My name is Christie Males. I am a fashion designer/owner for Cosette von Lee Designs. I have always had a passion for fashion and art since I was a child. I have always loved to draw and design. My journey as a fashion designer really started when I was in college. I have always loved clothes and have been inspired by how they can really make you feel amazing. I was inspired to start my own design because I could never find the right outfit or clothing, so I started my own line. I would describe my design as classy and sophisticated. I love how clothes can frame the body as a piece of art. The way I create my looks is through inspiration, then I pick my fabric, and then design. I have a different approach from most designers. I like to choose the fabric first. I think fashion can be both beautiful and sustainable. I look at fabric selections that address both.

I think the best way to represent my brand is through design concept and visual marketing. I want to convey my concepts to fashion lovers everywhere. I am still a fairly recent designer hoping in the future to collaborate with other great artists and create growth within my brand. My advice to young designers would be do what you love. If you love fashion design, never give up and follow your dreams.

I am working on my online presence for now, but I am always open to new opportunities in the future. I love what I do. I think believing in yourself is always important. I would love to use my brand to help the world in some way. I am still working on making the world a better place for the next generation and a way to leave my legacy someday.
