Karissa Lindsay is definitely a name to remember! Ms. Lindsay is the owner/designer of A Leap Of Style. I recently had the opportunity to model for Karissa at an event hosted by Nappy Love Houston (a meet up group for Houston naturalistas). Immediately, I was drawn to the fabulous line, especially the turquoise shorts I wore.
About Karissa:
Karissa Lindsay fell in love with printed clothing while in middle school. In fact, her first design was a pair of cloud printed pants that made quite the impression at her locker their first day out. From there, a star was born...well not exactly. Karissa strayed from her dream of being a designer for years, but after gaining a renewed sense of purpose brought on by her growing relationship with Christ, she took a leap of faith and created a small collection of uniquely printed apparel. This collection of shorts, skirts, pants, and dresses are for the woman looking to make a bold statement in her wardrobe. Each piece speaks to this Houston-based designer's love of ethnic prints, from the sari fabrics of India to the Ankara wax prints native to West African countries. The styles are fresh with the occasional nod to vintage styling, but the shapes are always simple to allow the prints to do the talking. Each piece is designed to enhance the female figure and evoke a sense of bold "I-too-can-take-on-the-world" confidence in the wearer.
You can find more of Karissa's designs on Etsy. Let's show her some support!
