“Your fashion reflects your values: from the design, to the fabrics and the quality, to the way it’s made.”
-Megan Huntz, Fashion Designer
Atlanta native, Megan Huntz, is a champion for the fashion movement. Sustainability, ethically sourced materials, and shopping local are all things the fashion designer prioritizes. Thus, Huntz manufactures all of her clothes in the city. Her website even boasts that MH Fine Clothing is “fashion made ethically in Atlanta, GA.” By producing garments locally, she has more control over where her materials come from and can ensure sustainability is practiced. The designer further uplifts her community by naming her pieces after the friends that inspired their creation.
Everyone starts from zero. However, having a mentor such as designer Carolina Herrera is one of the best advantages to have when it comes to making it big in the fashion world. Creative director, Wes Gordon has had an eye for fashion since a very young age but the highlight of his career comes from Herrera’s decision to hand over the reins of her fashion label after 38 years in the industry.
Making a name for yourself among the most famous as one of the best up-and-coming creative directors is not easy. Especially when your take on fashion is a little more casual, and a little less suit and tie. Dressing the rich and famous is not an easy job, especially if you want your designs to stand out, when they appear on the red carpet.

When looking at a beautiful outfit, accessories often go unnoticed. The primary focus of attention during red carpet events, advertisements, or fashion shows normally centers around clothing. Designers use jewelry, shoes, and bags to highlight the outfit, not take away from it. For example, people are easily able to recite who they think the best and worst dressed was at the Oscars, but I for one rarely include a person on that list because of their shoes. However, Amina Muaddi’s shoes demand the spotlight. Seeing someone wearing Muaddi’s shoes, one cannot help but cast their eyes to the floor and not forget the shoe they see.
Fashion has a stereotype. Expensive, fancy, untouchable. What happens when that stereotype is broken? When fashion becomes accessible and even casual?
