Q: What about Fashion is most important to you?

CGP06A2972Here is our interview with Holloway! Thanks for being such an amazing model. A little bit about Holloway.

“One thing that I try to promote is education in women: kind of being the ‘full package’ as it were, brains and beauty. I have 3 Undergraduate Degrees and start Grad school in June.”

Q: What do you enjoy most about modeling?

A: Modeling to me, is about loving your body – every curve, stretch mark, bump and bruise. Modeling helps me see the beauty in myself. Every BODY is beautiful.

Q: Who is your Fashion Idol?

A: I wouldn’t say I had a ‘fashion idol’ but I love vintage and retro looks. I model my personal style off of Christina Hendricks from the AMC TV show ‘MadMen’. Her character is also my namesake. Janie Bryant does the costuming on the show, and she has found about a million ways to a woman look beautiful.

Q: What about Fashion is most important to you?

A: I think that it is important for fashion to be accessible, above all. Some looks I see on the runway and in stores are complete nonsense. They don’t work for everyday women! It’s important for designers to celebrate women who work, who are moms, who appreciate modesty, etc. We’re not a ‘one-look-fits-all’ society.

Q: What is your favorite thing about yourself?

A: My favorite thing about myself? Well! My hourglass shape, that’s for sure! I appreciate my self-confidence and the fact it has inspired others to feel confident in themselves. When I was a kid, and adults would say, “You’re such a pretty girl!” My mom taught me to respond with, “Yes. I am!” Good advice at any age. My brain is pretty awesome to!

Q: What do you love about MIKAROSE Clothing?

A: I love MIKAROSE because they understand the ‘modest’ does not mean uncomfortable, stuffy and unflattering. MIKAROSE is an incredibly classy line and works on so many body types. You can really tell that there is a lot of love invested in this company.

Q: What is advice that you would give to women about why they should wear/buy MIKAROSE Clothing?

A: MIKAROSE provides a unique look to any woman. The looks, colors, and prints are very becoming. I think that when women hear “modest clothing” they may immediately thinkthat the line is not for them…but seriously, take a look. Try some things on. These clothes are not meant to sit on hangers – they need to be worn!

MIKAROSE Monday

In Memory of Parker Allred

217584_10200349887647007_1750158898_nToday on the blog we wanted to feature Parker Allred who the son of one of our team members. It has been a hard couple days due to Parker’s passing.  He was an inspiration to all. Parker was a bright and handsome young man.  He was highly active in his High School  and played football and water polo.  He was loved by many around him and continues to be loved by all he came in contact with.

Parker passed away after getting a simple flu that turned into many life threatening diseases such as; Pneumonia, Staph infection and septicemia. There are so many people that have lost their lives or ended up in the hospital with many life threatening illnesses and today we want to take a moment and let them all know that you are in our prayers. Please stay healthy this time of year.

Parker’s family asks that you all consider donating blood in your community to help people suffering from this and similar illnesses. We can all stop and pay it forward to help the world be a little healthier.

This is a picture of me, my sister Shannon, and my sister Laura. She is wearing mikarose’s “Jackie” dress.
Laura has been an inspiration to me throughout life.she is a great role model and loves helping others. Her life is an instrument of how God is working!!
She is #2 of 9 kids. she lives to help our mom and to be an artist. She has a few originals valued very high. She enjoys reading,writing and drawing.Laura is always willing to give someone a hand with something whther its math,phtography or what dress style would look good on you!:)
I am putting my sister forth for this because i believe she needs to be recognized for what she does,for us and for all others around her.
Thank You Laura!!
