HOW TO GET YOUR DESIGNS ON CELEBRITIES
The Truth About Stylists, Showrooms, Exposure & Getting Paid
By Cierra Boyd, Founder of FriskMeGood
Ever wondered how independent fashion designers get their creations on some of the biggest celebrities in the world?
Getting your designs on celebrities might seem like an impossible dream, especially when you’re starting with no industry connections, limited resources, and no idea how the fashion world really works.
But what if you could learn from someone who’s actually done it?
In How to Get Your Designs on Celebrities, Cierra Boyd, founder of sustainable fashion brand FriskMeGood, takes you behind the scenes of her nearly decade-long journey from creating designs in her bedroom in Cleveland, Ohio, to working with some of the biggest names in entertainment and fashion.
With designs worn by Cardi B, Doja Cat, Ciara, Saweetie, Sha’Carri Richardson, and more, Cierra shares the real stories behind her celebrity collaborations, the opportunities that helped grow her brand, the expensive mistakes she made along the way, and the lessons she wishes she’d known when she first started.
From navigating fashion showrooms and working with celebrity stylists to negotiating custom commissions and learning the difference between exposure and actual income, this e-book gives aspiring designers an inside look at an industry that can be difficult to navigate without guidance.
