It is never too late to reinvent yourself and begin anew. Stop comparing timelines and release your judgement. Start living your life and discover what awaits around the corner!
⛸️👰♀️ “They rejected me as an Olympic skater… so I ended up dressing the world’s most iconic brides.”
As a little girl, I dreamed of the ice.
I trained endlessly, hoping to one day represent the U.S. in figure skating.
But at 19, I was told I wasn’t good enough.
That sentence shattered me.
My identity, my dream — gone in an instant.
I felt lost, like everything I’d worked for had vanished.
But instead of giving up, I did something harder.
I reinvented myself. ✂️❄️
I started at the bottom — as an assistant editor at Vogue.
I worked there for 17 years, until one day, at 40 years old, with zero design experience…
I made my first wedding dress.
Why? Because I couldn’t find one I liked for myself.
People thought I was crazy to start that late.
But I knew something inside me was ready to be unleashed.
So I launched my first collection — afraid, uncertain… but full of vision.
At first, no one noticed.
But then brides started falling in love with my work.
And today, I’ve designed gowns for Victoria Beckham, Ariana Grande, the Kardashians — and countless others.
All because one door closed…
and I built another one with my own hands. 💥💍

⏳💡 There’s no such thing as “too late.”
Only the courage to begin — even if no one claps at first.
