| Jacqlene and I, 2010 Rags 2 Rhythms Fashion Show |
The Designer - Squeezing a meeting time into our busy schedules, my good friend of about 4 years now, designer Jacqlene Monet Corbin and I met for lunch this past Tuesday afternoon. Wearing shiny leggings and bright colors, Jacqlene was definitely making a statement. We small talked, then quickly went deeper into Jacqlene's past, present and future as a clothing designer. Ms. Corbin has wanted to be a designer since the beginning of college when she realized her career path in dental care was not right for her. At first she was apprehensive about jumping into a fashion major, but after taking her first sewing class at California State University, Long Beach, she knew this was the right decision.
Loose Threads - At this point in time, Jacqlene is still attending CSULB, but she is focused on much more than being a fashion student. She is applying herself to any opportunity or experience that will help her reach her goals in the competitive fashion industry. Jacqlene has been featured in the 2010 CSULB fashion show Rags2Rhythms, showcasing her first clothing line
Jacqlene Monet. This collection was inspired by the female figure and filled with hour glass silouhuettes, leg of mutton sleeves and bright statement colors. Another
thread that Jacqlene has recently added to her sewing kit, was the opportunity to design a dress for Angela Jollivette or DJ Moon Baby, the gospel section coordinator at the 2011 Grammy Awards Ceremony.
Making Ends Meet -Future plans for Jacqlene include creating her new collection inspired by the 1950's and the movie
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. We can expect this line to be retro, with a classic twist. The creative young designer plans to use "Glamour colors" as she calls them, such as red and gold giving the line an old Hollywood feeling.
To make ends meet, with this new collection Jacqlene hopes to define herself and excel even further into her career as a fashion designer. She is currently in the second round of a Style Network design competition with Jeannie Mai of the television show "How Do I Look". If Jacqlene makes it through to the next round, this could be her big break. Let's all congratulate Jacqlene Monet on her accomplishments! Knowing her personally, I see a promising future ahead.
Thanks for reading everyone!
