Fashion Odds (September 15', Issue 16.) | Page 39

Who is the woman you imagine wearing Tiannia Barnes shoes?

I have created a line strongly targeted

towards fashionably conscious women on the go. I envision the TB – Tiannia Barnes women as a go-getter, confident, chic, timeless and empowered. Whether she works in corporate, owns her own business, philanthropy, stays at home and occasionally likes to hit the down, etc….she has a TB shoe that matches her attitude – bold, fearless with a little edge!

What's next for you?

What’s next for me…great question! I’m going to continue to follow my truth and see where it leads me. It will definitely be a continuation of more TB women’s luxury shoes and adding another love of mine that I can’t disclose yet, but it’s fashion related. Lol I’m excited about the future and expansion!!!

What inspires and engages you?

I’m inspired by people’s journeys and how they have overcome obstacles to get to where they are now or to whom they have become. For some reason I find deep sentiment in people who are resilient. It’s such an amazingly, wonderful quality. It takes strength,

courage, wisdom and an acute understanding of self to overcome any hurdle in life….that’s fascinating

to me. Probably because it deeply touches my heart! I’m also engaged by great conversation and thought provoking art.

You have a very strong color palette with sharp accents. How did this develop?

I cannot explain my strong color palette except to say that I love jewel tones and they are usually very rich in color and bold. I also love the hues of sunset and beautiful beaches/oceans. Breathtaking!
