58: Whitney Manney on seizing opportunities, separating yourself from your brand, and honouring your inner art kid

This week on the Brand Your Passion podcast, I was joined by an utterly incredible creative who makes the phrase ‘passion for fashion’ take on a whole new meaning, Whitney Manney. Whitney is a fashion and textile designer from Kansas City with a BFA in Fibers and a desire to create art through her fashion - something she’s most definitely achieving with her independent label WHITNEYMANNEY. Creating a narrative between colour and pattern is a signature of her work, or as she puts it, “My job isn’t done until everybody in the world believes fashion is art”. In this amazing episode, we talk about how challenge can light a fire for your passion, taking hold of incredible opportunities when they come your way, and finding that fine balance between yourself, your art and your brand. Read the accompanying blog post at https://www.makerandmoxie.nz/blog Ready to build your own creative business?
