Spring Launch Old English Brand Feat Karen Denise

Spring Launch 2017



     Loyalty ,Glory and the art of endeavor to thrive ambitiously we can all relate too one way or another in situations from our lives. Whether in the past or issues of today’s unfortunate detrimental society the issues of being misunderstood and sterotyped are everything in our Spring Launch this 2017. This launch is for the Underdogs that disproved disapproval, and took the move to success. The designs were created by Kass and Jimmy.Everyone has a story but, it’s the Eminent group of respectable people that make everything for themselves and we know of one and that’s why we choose her for our Spring Launch. Her name is Karen Denise (ig _karendenise_ ) this Thursday in Los Angeles OE photograpghers and designers Kass and Sam and Blogger on set stylist Dahlia Monroe had the opportunity to shoot the Spanish Barbie and spend some time shooting the face of our spring launch and getting to know Karen and we asked her what loyalty,ambition and misunderstanding’s she herself as popular model of minority background overturned to reach the ambitous heights she continues to climb today among social media and everyday society modeling in Los Angeles with collaborations among various photograpghers, companies she has worked with and her perspective.



1.)   “Where did you grow up? Do you do anything outside modeling for a living?” How did you get into modeling ?”
2.)            I grew up in West Los Angeles with three siblings and a single mom. I started modeling at 20 years old during college. I got into modeling because I had always wanted to do it and now had time and was willing to experiment with the industry. It was amazing to start modeling as instagram became popular because it allowed me to network and access many photographers. Currently, I model full time and manage myself. I worked in the food and beverage industry but in October of 2016 I decided to take a risk and fulfill my passion. It's been amazing! 



2.)“Describe what loyalty is to you ? Why do you see loyalty as being something important?”
 Loyalty is everything to me. I experienced  unloyal relationships at a young age and it made me appreciate being 100 percent with people. Loyalty is about being honest with people you are invested in. If someone can keep it 100 with me, I can respect them forever. We don't all always feel the same way and I've learned that it's more valuable to express yourself and be honest.


2.) “ What traits about you would you say make you ambitous? What acheivement’s did you or have you made prior to those traits?” 

The traits that I say make me ambitious are patience and determination. It has taken me a lot of time to build myself and to get to the point where I manage myself so I'd say that's a prime example. I realized these were my strengths when I was in middle school and high school and had completed six marathons. Completing six marathons taught me a lot of mental willpower and has helped me as I have become an adult. 

  

3.)   “Do you see yourself as an underdog? In what way or situation have you ever yourself been misunderstood ?”
I used to see myself as an underdog. Sometimes I still do. It's hard for people to categorize my race so sometimes they put their own stigma on me. I play it off by acting universal and always staying humble. It has made people notice me or want to Lee working together. 




4.)”What made you agree to work on this collaboration with Old English Brand for the Spring Launch?”
 I think the brand is awesome! When I was approached with the opportunity I checked out their Instagram and liked the vibes. I felt like we could collab very well and sure enough the shoot was awesome. 



5.) “What did you like about working with Old English Brand on this Spring Launch and the messages behind the new clothes?” How did you feel about it ?”
1.     I really enjoyed being a part of the Old English Spring release because it captivated strength and personal character within the  collection through its art and style. I can't wait to see the final photos and see everyone rocking the 2017 Old English Spring Collection❤️

By 10pm the projector was showing images on the wall on soul train and various clips from the 70’s.The feeling of good vibes spread all throughout the night a feeling a person couldn’t ever forget from circles of friends throwing it around in circles to people climbing the shoulders of each other to see the DJ’s,drop the track to their favorite sets.
To the people who even found some love on the dance floor, and others kicking it back to the rhythm and friendships being made the Valentines dance was an event to be at.
