The Designer

After less than a year of sewing experience, Shan Latris applied to compete in Birmingham Fashion Week’s 2012 Emerging Designer Competition. She was accepted and ultimately chosen as a Top 10 Finalist. Given such an honor amongst competitors with greater experience than she, she describes that moment as “both humbling and exciting” In 2015, Shan Latris returned to compete again and was crowned Birmingham Fashion Week's Top Emerging Designer!
