#WCW

Today I would like to feature a very young and very talented #WCW. Miss Kyemah McEntyre from New Jersey has been making headlines not once but twice this year for fashion at the young age of eighteen. You may have seen her all over the Internet in May after he African inspired custom prom dress went viral. It seems like the viral prom dress was just the beginning for this fabulous young fashionista. This weekend was the BET awards and one of my favorite looks was another African inspired dress worn by Naturi Naughton. I was so excited to learn that the dress was designed by Kyemah. In a recent interview Kye was asked how she felt about her new found stardom she said,
"People ask me all the time how does it feel, and I tell them it’s just amazing to be celebrated for just being myself. I consider myself to be an artist, fashion desigher and self-identity activist."
We couldn't agree more!!!Both dresses were beautiful and creative. It seems like the African inspired fashion will be catching fire as a new trend this year.

Not only is Kye spending her time designing dresses for celebrities, as a recent high school graduate she is looking to start school at Parson School of Design in Manhattan looking to major in fashion design. She as even started a go fund me account to help further her education.

In addition to being a fashion designer Kye is also a very talented artist. She even has an online store selling her artwork. How many of us can say at 18 we were able to design a dress seen all over the world, sell our custom artwork at an online boutique, and still keep up with a high school schedule? I had enough trouble trying to stay awake in AP History at 18, but Kye is taking over the world! I have a feeling we have not seen the last of this talented young lady. Congratulations #WCW we wish you the best of luck with all you do.
