About Me

Just a small town girl trying to make it in the big city! I spent the best 10 monthes of my life in Florence, Italy last year and finished off a great 4 years at FIT this past May. I work currently work for Izod on Madison Avenue as an Assistant Designer. When I'm not working I like sports and the gym, dance, puzzles, music, movies, anything culturally expanding and working on my own fashion design endeavors. (www.demelisfashions.com)

My Interests

Well of course I like fashion and clothing and all that garble. I like to be creative and artsy, do runway shows, and work on promoting my fashions, trying to get into the biz. I am super into music of all kinds and when I say that I mean ALL kinds, no exceptions...actually I take that back, I don't really like trance and house music. If I didn't have music I'd go insane. I love just hangin out, being a dork, being random, watching stupid movies, and cooking/eating food, and being active. I've done basically every sport known to man, love football, and other typically "guy" things. I dunno, ya wanna know more, ask.
Your Fashion Style is Classic
You like what's stood the test of time...
Simple, well styled clothes that don't scream trendy
You stay updated and modern, but your clothes stay in style for a while
You wouldn't be caught in animal prints, fake fur, or super bright colors What's Your Fashion Style? Italy was beautiful and I got to see so many beautiful sights, pics are in the photo gallery. I really enjoyed it there, and I'm considering going back after graduation and maybe getting a job there but who knows?!?! I missed the US now and then but I loved the culture there and the language is fascinating! What classic Pin-up girl are you?
