Diva Rags & Suavé Clothing has evolved gradually over time and has gone from a shoebox to a full-service shop serving the community in the Twin Cities. The owner Ashley is a self-starter entrepreneur who began working at the age of 15 years old. Back then, she designed elegant headscarves and then the Suavé Clothing was added to the mix. The owner specializes in customizing fine looking scarves, apparel shoes and accessories. There is a strong sense of social responsibility in the way the clothes are designed and the way the collection is tailored to this concept of positivity. Below is Ashley's list of five fashion must-do tips for this Spring.
- Add a dash of brightness to your wardrobe and wear colors that boost your mood. I recommend wearing soft pastels and a few royal hues: turquoise, light pink, sunshine yellow, gold, ruby red and royal blue (especially for suave/debonair gentlemen).
- Embrace your individuality and be who you are. Incorporate aspects about your personality with your fashion. If you are "diva-licious," then add some sparkle to your wardrobe such as a Diva Rag so you'll shine a little brighter.
- Accessorize! Add scarves and jewelry to your wardrobe. Jazz up simple ensembles such as a white t-shirt and jeans with a Diva Rag.
- Purchase a Suavé Scarf. Reveal less and cover up more to keep that classy look.
- Support local artists and independently owned businesses. This ensures only unique fashion items.
How do you prepare each year when the Spring season comes around? Who develops your clothing? How do you set the prices on the items that you sell?
Ashley Lauren: When I think about preparing for Spring, I focus on "springing forward" with fresh and new concepts. It is a season that represents a time for change and exciting new colors. I customize all accessories and apparel and offer high-quality products at affordable prices.
