Cutie With a Duty!
Name:Nicole Suerez
Nick Names (if applicable): “Colie, Nicster. My friends call me weird names and I just roll with it.”
Hometown: Scottsdale, Arizona
Year: Sophomore
Nicole’s Major and Minor: “My major is costume design, and I don’t have a minor right now”
Campus Involvements: “Arizona Repertory Theater”
Nicole’s Interests and Hobbies: “Sewing, drawing, hanging out with friends, Tumblr; I love reading Refinery 29. It’s a fashion blog. I also love Pinterests, which is a mix of Tumblr and a blog and it helps organize ideas for cooking, crafts, and decorations. It’s like, a girls heaven!”
Nicole’s Most Recent Project:“Well recently I just worked on a music video for my friend Jake, who is awesome at making music videos on youtube. So I helped him create the costumes, hair and make up. On my blog you can find some pictures of this, http://www.nicolesuerez.blogspot.com/#!/2011/10/whiskey-on-rocks-tyler-thomas-feat-jake.html”
Why Nicole Started Her Apron Company TwentyTwo: “I feel like aprons I make are fun, flirty and trendy, and they add more fun to cooking. It’s just a fun thing to make and it hasn’t been explored too much yet.”
Nicole’s Interesting Fact About Starting TwentyTwo:“It started with me going to Sasfabrics. It’s sort of a fabric factory on speedway, that has unique fabrics that aren’t sold in common fabric stores and the fabrics wouldn’t be found on clothing. It began as a school project but I just decided to keep going and make aprons.”
If Nicole could partner with an established designer, who would it be?:
“For TwentyTwo I would partner with, Candice Nelson, I love making cupcakes, they’re my favorite! If I were to go the fashion route I would love to work with a big fashion house like Christian Dior or Chanel, because they are classy and simple, with beautiful designs. I like French Couture.”
Nicole’s Experience in the Fashion World: “Well I was an intern for Steve Madden over summer, where I worked closely with BigBuda and helped illustrate the Hang Tags for the purses. I also had the opportunity to go to Mood Fabrics (For all you Project Runway Fans) to find fun fabrics to work with.”
Why Nicole Feels She Qualifies to Be Campus Cutie:“Because I can make everyone else look like a Campus Cutie too!!”
