Belle Ave by Stacy: Where Beauty Meets Innovation”Fashion designers hold a unique place in our world. Their vision and talent significantly influence how people perceive themselves. My name is Stacy Gist, and I am passionate about fashion design. My journey began during my teenage years at the age of 13. Back then, my dad and grandmother would purchase clothes that, in my eyes, lacked any sense of style. However, everything changed when I received my first sewing machine as a Christmas gift in 1997. Since then, I’ve been sewing nonstop.My creative process starts in my mind, where I envision stunning designs. These ideas then find their way onto paper or the computer screen. Sometimes, I skip the sketches altogether and drape fabric directly onto a dress form, bringing a new look to life. Regardless of the approach, my innovative designs culminate in beautiful gowns that enhance a woman’s inner and outer beauty.Introducing “Belle Ave by Stacy” – an evening gown collection that promises to captivate hearts, widen eyes, and leave an indelible mark on the fashion world
