You asked your most stylin’ questions… and we’ve got the answers! Real-life designer Amy Tan tells us how to break into the designing biz, where to look for inspiration, and what it takes to be a true fashionista. Read below to learn all her secrets of success!
Amy started her own clothing label called Amy Tangerine five years ago when she was working as a professional stylist. Amy’s designs are super-soft, super-cute tee-shirts with adorable fabric cut-outs of things like love birds and snow angels and fun saying like “Oh Deer!” (with a cut-out of a deer) and “Dream Big.” She makes her shirts special by cutting out cute shapes and words from one color shirt and then sewing them on a different color shirt!
