Our Story 

As an adolescent, it can be challenging to express your aspirations, objectives, and necessities for your future. At Suited For Fashion, we strive to provide assistance to young creative minds who want to enhance their abilities and skills, whether it is through academics or entrepreneurship. We are here to help you exceed your potential and achieve your goals.

The Blueprint of Suited For Fashion 

Every story has its origin and journey. The story of Suited For Fashion began with its founder, Stephanie Muñoz. Growing up in a community like Lawrence, MA, where the arts are rooted in our culture, it was inevitable for Stephanie not to gravitate toward it. However, like most gateway communities such as Lawrence, there was a lack of financial support within the art industry. Through her tenacity and discipline, she was able to find organizations that fostered her love for the arts, be it dance, poetry, painting, digital design, and everything in between. It has always been Stephanie's desire to impact people's lives by expressing herself through art.

The turning point of her high school years was undoubtedly the moment she met Mr. Meehan, her art teacher. As a senior with no portfolio, she was feeling lost in her application process to art and fashion colleges. But her art teacher came to my rescue, teaching her the crucial preparation skills she needed to succeed. With his guidance, she prepared a portfolio just in time for the admission deadline. And weeks later, to my amazement, acceptance letters began pouring in. This moment was truly pivotal in her life, giving her an extra boost of confidence that she carries with her to this day.

 

She began to realize that she had a huge gap in her experience and worried that she lacked the necessary skills and knowledge to truly understand the language of the art and fashion industry. The only real experience she had in this field was through selling denim bags that she had made from recycled materials. However, she could tell from the reaction of her friends that she had something truly special in her hands. This only fueled her determination to continue creating and exploring my passion for fashion and business.

​

The arts are a vital part of our culture, yet they are often given the least amount of support and acknowledgment. This lack of recognition has left many young creatives without the resources, guidance, and financial backing they need to succeed. However, there is hope. Suited For Fashion wants to be a bridge for the youth, connecting them with mentors, resources, and support. By using your platform and voice to raise awareness, you are helping to fill a need that has long been ignored. It's time we stopped treating the arts as an elective and started prioritizing them as a requirement. The value of the arts cannot be overstated, and it's up to all of us to ensure that the next generation of creatives has the support they need to thrive. Thank you for your dedication to this important cause.
