Designer Spotlight: Melody Ehsani

Last week one of my friends invited me to his sister’s final presentation at FIT and there is where I met Melody Ehsani. I have been a fan of hers for years. I ordered custom made earrings from her for my very first Her Goody Bag shoot.

I must tell you that she is a super sweetheart. I didn’t want to bog her down with tons of questions but I did manage to sneak in a few.

I asked Melody when she originally started designing did she expect this type of response to her designs, she said no. She just started designing because she loved being creative.

Many celebs have been seen rocking her designs like Alicia Keys, Keri Hilson, and Beyonce, but her first major client was Prince. She also designed for Erykah Badu.

I asked Melody what did she have in store for everyone next. She has teamed up with Reebok to create a sneaker which will be relesed next summer and she is now working on an apparel line.
