We had the good fortune of connecting with Blaire Brown and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Blaire, is there something you believe many others might not?
I don’t agree with the concept that someone who is a “Jack of All Trades” is a master of none. I believe God granted all of us gifts, and in different stages of our lives we are meant to explore them. Some skills are transferable and will help you in the next stage of your journey. For me personally, I have always loved fashion, beauty, eventing & content creation. Now I’m finally beginning to understand how all of these passions can co-exist and mutually benefit one another.
Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I like to call myself a Creative Maven and a Visionary. The bulk of my creative endeavors stem from from the fashion, beauty, and social media marketing industries. I am entering a decade as a Wardrobe Stylist and graduated from The School of The Art Institute Chicago with a concentration in Fashion design. I have been able to achieve much success in the Fashion industry over the years by putting myself out there on social media. My designs have graced the stages of New York Fashion Week and been featured in Lucy Magazine. My styling work has made it to Vice President Kamala Harris’s Annual Juneteenth celebration, Grammy red carpet’s, as well as a feature in Vogue Magazine.
All of these accolades took years of hard work, tears, blood (if you sew you know), late nights, quitting and starting over.
I would not change ANY part of this journey, it has made me a better woman, a more well rounded artists, and has broadened my horizons making the VISION oh so clear.
What I want the world to know about Blaire is that I am not fearless but I am faithful. God is the source of all of my blessings and accolades without him none of this would be possible. I also want people to know that even though it appears that I have it all together, I am still trying to figure things out. I haven’t even scratched the surface of where I know God is taking me.
Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
If you ask me I will always say summer time in Chicago is UNDEFEATED! I would definitely charter a boat the views and the water in the summer is an indescribable feeling. Shopping on Michigan and Oak street is also a must, followed by dinner at somewhere nice maybe Maple and Ash. But, you cannot come to Chicago and not try spots like Harold’s or Portillos those are staple places we have to go to at some point of the trip.
Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
First and foremost I want to give an honor to God! Next, I want to shoutout my village! My family & friends have loved and supported me relentlessly and without that foundation I would not have the confidence to go after my dreams.
