"Intro to J.Fulks the designer"
January 24, 2009 at 01:12 PM
I am Jessica Fulks, also known as "J.Fulks". My designs were always inspired by the urban hip hop's culture, art, and music as well as Europe's high fashion couture. I moved from Houston, Texas at the age of two to Fayetteville, North Carolina where I was inspired by family, friends, and the urban culture. As a child, art and creativity was always a part of my life. My older brother taught me how to draw and I adopted my skills for craft work from my mother. My first exposure to any kind of sewing was at the age of 9 where I made pillows for my mother and grandmother out of old t-shirts.
I started my college career in Zoology and later discovered my talent and passion for constructing clothing. It was no surprise that I changed my major to Textile Apparel Management: Fashion Development. Three weeks after I declared my new major, I started my own clothing line. Each garment was hand crafted and uniquely painted. As of today, my clothing line can be seen on college and high school campuses from North Carolina to Virginia, Texas, South Carolina and Alabama. My clothing company is named J.Fulks Originals after myself with three primary branches: J.Fulks Originals (urban), Lache' by J.Fulks (urban high fashion), and imageNATION(childrens).
After college I plan to seek a MBA in Fashion Design. After obtaining my MBA and gaining more experience, I would love to start my own clothing company. My main goal is to become a world known fashion designer who brought the urban culture to the high fashion runways.
