I HELP WOMEN FEEL AH-GOT-DAMN-MAZING
Let’s break some rules together
YOUR PRESENCE SPEAKS BEFORE YOU EVER SAY A WORD.
When you look good you feel good, and when you feel good you move differently. You show up differently. I believe what you wear should support the woman you already are and the presence you want to carry into the room.
Your building the career, running the business, showing up for your family, answering the phone when everybody needs you and somehow keeping all the pieces moving. You're the source, the sounding board, the one everybody knows they can count on.
And you probably already dressed well. This isn't about teaching you how to put clothes on. It's about making sure that when it's time for you to step into the room- whether that's a boardroom a birthday dinner at speaking engagement an anniversary or simply a night out, what you're wearing feels as intentional as everything else you've built.
You bring the occasion, the inspiration, or even just the feeling you want to create. I bring the design eye, the strategy, and a whole lot of finesse. Together, we create a look that feels like you, only more intentional, more memorable, and ready for the moment
Meet The Designer
the idea was never to blend in
Hey Shuga Sunshine! I’m Keyona ”KD’ Dawson. I'm a Fashion Designer & Presence Strategist who's been fascinated by the way clothing allows you to express yourself for as long as I can remember.
I grew up watching my grandmother sew. The spark didn't hit me immediately but by high school I have plenty of ideas about how I wanted to show up but one little problem. I could never find what I envisioned wearing in the stores, so naturally I started creating it myself.
.
In the 11th grade I bought a hand-me-down sewing machine from my uncle and started deconstructing clothes to make my own designs. I remember seeing Mary J. Blige in a bad-ass pair of boots that I absolutely had to have. However, I couldn’t find them anywhere, and even if I could, my 11th grader pocketbook wouldn't have allowed me to afford them. So I did thee next best thing. I tore up a pair of jeans and turned the bottom of those jeans into the very boots the queen was rocking…

Customer reviews
"Hands down the best designer I know. She brought my idea to life with a limited amount of time. The dress wasn't too heavy for me & it fit me exactly how I would've wanted it to. I love the way it complimented my little figure. The train was perfect and complimented the dress."
