Butta: Made In Africa - Dr. Bill Releford
www.Global-Africa-Us.com
Dr. Bill Releford Champions
Economic Development In Africa:
Apparel Line, "MIA- Made In Africa" hopes to promote a sense
of belonging, pride and roots renewal for our homeland Africa, among
the hip hop generation," says Dr. Bill Releford. "
With a simple game of word association for Africa, medical pioneer
and business entrepreneur, Dr. Bill Releford purports a strong case.
Typical media coverage of the Motherland relays images of ravaging
disease, HIV/AIDS, hunger, despair and genocide.
Though Africa, the planet's second largest continent, has its share
of war, poverty and corruption, these are situations found globally.
On the other hand, Africa also boasts rising stock markets,
burgeoning city life, a bustling middle class and even Internet
cafes and cell phones! In fact, according to the U.S. government's
Overseas Private Investment Corp., Africa offers the highest return
in the world on direct foreign investment. The irony is that it
attracts the least when compared to other emerging economies.
Explains Releford, "Africa needs trade not aid! Due to the current
U. S. trade tensions with China, many retailers are looking for
alternate manufacturing sourcing. Once we dispel their concerns and
misconceptions about the work force, labor conditions, delivery
times and infrastructure in Africa, US retailers are realizing a
competitive advantage with duty free manufacturing in Sub Sahara
Africa."

 Adrian Evans- Drini
From Adrian’s earliest memories, she had an interest in the flair
and expressive nature of fashion. Fascinated by how clothes and
make-up gave people the ability to express and demonstrate their
individual personalities and moods, she always enjoyed the
imaginative freedom fashion allowed individuals. For most of her
young life, Adrian was often frustrated and humiliated by the ritual
fo finding clothes that not only accentuated her voluptuous female
form, but also expressed her fun-loving and artistic personality.
In 2003, Adrian earned an AA degree in Fashion Design from the
Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM). While working projects that include proms, special events, styling and make-up
consulting, Adrian is well on her way to opening new doors to the
untapped market of plus size contemporary clothing. Excited to see
what her God given talents will allow her to accomplish, Adrian
believes that daring to be different is the only way to live your
life, she created the saying, “what’s the point of being you, if
you’re like everybody else?”

TMC --TASHA MONIQUE CARTER
 Tasha
Monique Carter has swept the nation with her flare for fashion and
her signature line of clothing. TMC Fashions was
established in the early 90’s when Tasha discovered her natural
talent for sewing. While many of us where in the malls trying to
 keep
up with the latest trends, Tasha Monique Carterwas setting trends!
Once Tasha realized her ability to create she began to incorporate
her own unique twist. Her signature style being; garments which are
long & flowing in the front and short & eye catching in the back.
With the support of family & friends in her hometown New Haven, CT,
Tasha began to invest in her craft. She hosted small fashion shows
in which she would showcase her clothing line. Although the shows
were a success…TMC Fashions were ready to hit a
bigger market. With this in mind, the gutsy designer packed her
things and moved to Atlanta, GA.
Between designing, sewing & operating a business Ms. Carter also
found time to work on several film/television productions. “I was
working as a wardrobe assistant on the film Remember the Titans
(starring Denzel Washington), the work was tedious and the
schedule was grueling…But I loved it!” The film bug had bitten
her…she has since then worked in all positions dealing with wardrobe
on numerous productions. “It takes more than an eye for fashion to
work in film/television. You have to be aware of continuity and
stay within the budget…no one really cares what the hottest color is
this season.”
After living in Atlanta, GA for several years Tasha Carter once
again felt like it was time to broaden her horizons. Los Angeles, CA
offered just the forum she needed to kick her career into high gear.
TMC Fashions can now be seen in films, magazines & on the red
carpet at Hollywood parties and premiers. Although Tasha Monique
Carter has been successful in her field, she is humble and maintains
a positive professional attitude.
“I am thankful for the opportunities I have been given because I
know how difficult it is to get into this business. That’s why I
always do the best I can, no matter how big or small the assignment
is, I give it my all!”
Tasha Monique Carter now resides in Los Angeles, CA. She is seeking
new and challenging opportunities in the fashion industry.
Le Chemise
LTD
Inspired by her mother
who worked in and out of the fashion industry for over
35 years, Lisa Guillory started sewing at the tender age
of twelve. She later obtained a B.A. Degree in Theatre
Arts, under which she took extensive courses in Costume
Design. For many years thereafter she designed wedding
dresses for friends, and also assisted friends in the
entertainment arena with styling needs. With more than
twenty years of experience and a sincere passion for
fashion, Lisa Co-founded “Le Chemise LTD Custom Wardrobe
Designers” in spring 2002, with then business partner
Terri Brooks. Their partnership dissolved a year later
when Mrs. Brooks decided to pursue her dream of working
with under-privilege children. Lisa Guillory is now the
sole
owner of the company and she is looking forward to a
creative and successful future in the apparel industry.
Becoming a fashion designer was a natural life course
for Lisa, who believes it’s wonderful when one can turn
a hobby into a beautiful career.
