Fresh Face: Elysia Ganier

Hi guys!

Thanks for reading as always! I have to inform you guys of this amazing Girl Boss, who's name is Elysia Ganier. She has me floored when I saw her work. She is the CEO and Head Fashion Designer for Ganier Designs. Her brilliant fusion of sophistication and edge are what make her so unique. When you think of the modern day professional wear, you'll bet your bottom dollar that its simple yet cute. But, Miss Ganier's approach to the concept borders moreso along the lines of maybe a rock star businesswoman? And it is FABULOUS! You may see me rocking one of her creations at an upcoming event.

I'm sure you are wondering a little bit more about Miss Ganier. So, here's her story:

Elysia Ganier, an International Academy of Design and Technology graduate, is a Fashion Designer for high profile individuals who look to make a lasting impression through creative and unique designing.  With over 20+ years of designing, Elysia is an expert in creating designs that personifies the image that her clients can't resist.  She is known for helping individuals of influence convey Style, Power, and Confidence through her designs. Her Elite Custom Process affords her clients to achieve achieve the proper FIT, hide FLAWS and remain FASHIONABLY relevant! Her talent scored her an internship at Chicago's own Barbara Bates of Bates Designs, Inc. that developed into a long lasting relationship with the company.  She continued to freelance many years for Ms. Bates while working full-time in Corporate America and never lost her dream to become a great designer herself.  While still working her 9-5 job, she came across an opportunity to compete for chance to design a "work to wherever" piece specifically for Steve Harvey's Women's Wear Collection and  won.  Her garment would then be sold as apart of the collection at all K&G stores. 
 
Elysia's designs have been worn for such notables as Marisa Buchheit, Miss Illinois, Miss Black Illinois USA 2014 and 2015 winners, Mariah Scott and Destiny Lee and BET's Comic View Comedian, Sheree Luckett.  In 2015, her designs were also worn by reality star of Real Housewives of Atlanta and former Miss USA, Ms. Kenya Moore. In 2015, Elysia decided to branch out on her own full-time leaving her 9-5 behind.  Three months into what she thought would be a great start turned out to be one of the most unexpected times of her life.  She was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease called "Neuromyelitis Optica" this disease attacked her spinal cord which caused her to become paralyzed from the chest down. But her faith in God proved that miracles do happen if we trust and believe. Elysia still has challenges that she faces everyday but she refused to give up on her dreams. After a couple of years, she decided to reorganize her business around her challenges and go after her dreams.  She has managed to work at her own pace and design a "come back" collection for Spring/Summer 2017.

Pretty impressive right? Well, you can check out the links and images below to find out even more about her! Might I add that she is a Fresh Faces supporter, having purchased my newly released novel linked below. That was greatly appreciated!

About Me

Hey there! Thanks for stopping by! I'm Calynn, 20x Award Winning businesswoman, media personality and former pageant queen (Miss United States Universe Tourism 2021, Miss World America Nation 2020). I started this blog when I was barely 15 years old in January 2011 as a supplement to my application to the retail business internship at the downtown Chicago Nordstrom mall! I stayed there for 3 years learning the fundamentals of everything fashion business from sales and marketing to media and modeling. This was a phenomenal foundation to my career as it gave me the rudimentary knowledge and competitive edge that I needed to be successful!  From there, I went on to college and obtained my first degree in Business and Humanities (the arts and social sciences). I wrote as a freelance journalist and editor for several large publications and hosted live cable television for two years. I walked countless red carpets being a VIP media guest at major industry events all over the country a

38 Underrepresented World Wide Talents That You Need to Know!

In a world where so many great entrepreneurs and artists can become famous at the act of one viral video online, it's easy to get lost in the misconception that with social media's "power," anybody who is talented is already known. After all, it isn't as difficult to gain exposure and "get big" as it was 20 years ago before the Internet's Massive Media takeover, right? Partially yes, however, social media also makes the market 10x as saturated as it was 20 years ago. Thus, are you really that much further ahead if all of your competition has the means to one-up you, free of cost and inconvenience, just by posting to their online accounts? It's a lot to think about. That is why we here at The Fresh Faces Project work hard to make sure that the artists and entrepreneurs and do-gooders who are underrepresented and don't get the fame and acknowledgment that their talents merit are given a platform. That platform is us. When creating thi

  Over the last 2 years, I've been conducting what some could call a "social experiment." I have been single (by choice) for the better part of the last 2.5 years and had an epiphany a little over 2 years ago to give online dating services a shot! While it hasn't been the most miraculous experience, it has certainly been a valuable one! And, I strongly recommend that anyone who is looking to settle down with a life partner, give them a try! Maybe you don't need to sign up for almost every app known to man like I have LOL, but at least try the major ones. This blog is a detailed account of my findings as a young, sweet, successful woman with online dating.  For clarity, I've added the below chart for you to understand who I am and what I have to offer versus what I am seeking. This foundational knowledge is key to comprehending the results of my "experiment." I, as a 26 year old woman who is the CEO of a successful small business ( www.caycomcreate.co
