Ep. 46 | Therez Fleetwood, The Queen of Afrocentric Design

Originally from Boston, MA where she got her start in fashion, Therez started designing clothes at the age of 12 and sold her first dress on the famed Newbury Street at the age of 15. This was quite an accomplishment at that age as Newbury Street was home to Giorgio Armani, Chanel, and Diane Von Furstenberg, just to name a few. Therez moved to New York to attend The Fashion Institute of Technology studying Fashion Design.  She launched her fashion career designing Afrocentric attire under the PheZula Collection label where she sold to specialty boutiques throughout New York City, created custom designs for private clientele and designed for celebrities including EnVogue, Vanessa Williams, Angela Bassett, Queen Latifah, Yolanda Adams, Kim Fields, Sheri Headly, and Shanice.
