About LaKeshia

LaKeshia Lucious has a few creative titles, but fashion designer is her favorite.  Nicknamed "The Fashionista" by her loved ones, LaKeshia developed a love for Fashion at a very early age. It was not until she watched her grandmother, who retired from a Chicago dress factory, make a jacket from a pattern she drafted from newspaper, that her interest in sewing began.  She continued to nurture her love for fashion by learning to sew and later attending Columbia College-Chicago graduating with a B.A in the fashion field dreaming of one day having her own clothing line.

No one ever said that pursuing your dreams would be easy.  G.I.R.L (Gifted In Real Life) is a vibrant trendy and functional accessory and clothing line created by LaKeshia to inspire everyone to never ignore their God given gifts.  She is taking her own advice and stepping out on faith, because it is never too late to follow your dreams.  This journey has been challenging yet rewarding.  LaKeshia is super excited to share what she has been working on, and there is so much more to come! This is just the beginning!
