Spring 2012 Runway Show
Hello Lovelies,
My name is Melissa Velia and I am a clothing designer. I began designing and sewing my Barbie dolls new wardrobes at the age of 7. My mother taught me to sew with a needle, some thread and tons of fabric scraps. It was then, that my life-long passion for fashion and the industry began.
Coming from humble beginnings, I was forced to work while attending fashion college to pay for tuition. It was during that time, I began my career in the fashion industry and landed a position with BCBG in their corporate showroom. I never went back to school. Later, I went on to work for several well-known brands and eventually designed for an LA based clothing company, where my designs were worn by celebrities such as Tyra Banks, Hilary Duff and Faith Evans.

In 2010, after 9 years in the fashion industry, I felt I was ready to branch out on my own and established my own clothing labels. Today, I continue to evolve in the art of fashion. Melissa Velia (my label) has become an international label with sales all around the world. This blog is my open journal of my continues journey in the fashion industry.
