iFashion Panel NY Press Day Presentation
:
"Experimentation, reinvention, versatility, colour, texture, shape, contrast, and composition are some of the words I would use to describe my relationship with fashion. The body is a vehicle for design, best described as a human canvas on which any mood, idea, belief could be interpreted. Each one of us, has a role to play in life, and mine is that of a designer. I plan to make an impact on our perception of ourselves and that of others through the media of clothing."

"While an inspiration and muse to many, Essie cites her inspiration as the late Mia Amber. “I wanted to be just like [Mia],” she states. “I’d never seen someone my size look so beautiful. She truly made me feel okay to be me. [Mia Amber] was full of confidence and grace.” It is Essie’s mission to envoke that same spirit in the hearts of others."
