“I’m such a visual learner. With my gift, I always say it’s God-given because I don’t use measurements. I don’t use measuring tape. Everything is off the head”

ST. LOUIS — Kris Cole’s love and affinity for fashion began at an early age.

In the third grade, she said, after her aunt handed her sewing supplies, she transformed bed sheets and shower curtains into pencil skirts and more. She said she would also cut up her school pictures and sew them onto pieces of fabric.

Once she got older, she said started reading books from the library and watching YouTube videos to expand her knowledge of stitching different garments. She officially launched her brand, Kris Cole the Brand, at 19 with prom dresses. Since then, she’s made those items and other womenswear pieces for all occasions, including birthdays, weddings, black-tie affairs, girls’ night outs, and more.

Returning clients and a new demographic of customers can now patronize with her at her storefront, Kris Cole Design Loft & Accessories, located at 1309 Washington Avenue.

Upon entry, guests are greeted by her slew of mannequins wearing her signature floor-length ball gowns in curve-hugging silhouettes with intricate beadwork and diamond-encrusted detailing. The dresses in hues pink, black and silver match with the rest of the store which is decorated in the same color scheme with a flower wall and accent furniture serving glam aesthetics unsurprising for a 26-year-old fashion designer.

Customers can not only shop with her for custom designs, but they can also purchase ready-to-wear dresses, shoes, and accessories in-house shipped from clothing manufacturers.

Rocking one of her own designs in a cascading gown with a sparkly high neck collar, nude long mesh sleeves and all-around handwoven jewels, Cole told a crowd of people outside of her grand opening that receiving her brick-and-mortar business was unexpected. She said she was in her office space one day and the next she had her store keys.

“I didn’t know where it came from, but it just seemed like it was made for me,” she told the crowd. “It was on the street that I was already working on. It was on the perfect side where shade hits. It had the right amount of fitting rooms. The layout matched the whole assets of the store to fit my style, and it works for my clients.”

I personally am very proud of Kris Cole  how far she has come , Keep grinding with your girl boss energy .
