Hey everyone, I’m Cammie Bradshaw! My favorite things in life are fashion, social justice, the sky, and love.
Currently I attend Columbia College in Chicago, previously I went to the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles. My ultimate goal is to move to New York City and start my own sustainable and philanthropic fashion line. This goal has been blossoming since I was five years old. I even have a note in my wallet written when I was nine years old that says “When I grow up, I want to be a fashion designer.” I’ve always been a dreamer, but as I age, I get closer to making my dreams come true. There is so much I want to do with my life, and I’m a firm believer that as long as you are persistent and don’t let set backs stop you, you can accomplish anything.
My favorite designers are Marchesa, Elie Saab, Christian Siriano, and Zac Posen. In my eyes, they make the most beautiful gowns and exemplify incredible craftsmanship. When I first watched Elie Saab’s haute couture spring/summer 2015 fashion show, I even cried because of how beautiful the gowns were. Yes, I’m that fashion girl. The first thing I’m going to do when I buy a serious designer gown is probably wear it to the grocery store, just because I can. Until I can afford that luxury, my favorite brand right now is Zara, where I found my metallic puffer coat. My style is all over the place. Carrie Bradshaw, Betty Suarez from Ugly Betty, and Bella Hadid are my main style inspirations. I like mixing classic pieces like black jeans and turtleneck with metallic shoes.
This is my first time interning with CollegeFashionista, so I’m excited for what is to come. Here’s to a RAD semester!
