Why You're Not For Everyone (and that's more than ok) - with Amanda Perna
The phrase “wearing all the hats” completely describes designer, stylist, speaker, author, illustrator and creative goddess, Amanda Perna!
I met Amanda in March of 2020. A two time Project Runway participant and the founder and creative behind the fashion brands House of Perna and Neon Bohemians, Amanda sprinkles glitter and incredible fashion wherever she goes.
I had the honor of walking in her fashion show at Alt Summit in Palm Springs and fell in love with her positivity, ability to empower and the ability to create her business and life, with her beautiful daughter by her side.
In today’s episode, we dive into the fashion world.....where art and business collide, discuss how fashion actually can save lives (at least, in a pandemic!), how to stand out in a world full of copycats and defining happiness!
Amanda Perna is a mom, wife, design expert, content creator, speaker, author, illustrator, stylist and entrepreneur. Loved for her approachability, Amanda's mission is to create joy and spread sunshine wherever she goes.
Amanda honed her craft while designing for major fashion brands including Oscar de le Renta and Calvin Klein in New York City.
Her Creations
Ever an entrepreneur, Amanda has since launched her own brands, The House of Perna and Neon Bohemians, which have been sold internationally to major high end retailers including Bloomingdales, Nordstrom and more. She specializes in creating ethically made products and designs, focusing on maximalist style with minimalist waste creations - featuring bright colors and bold prints.
Her Collaborations
In addition to designing for her signature collections, Amanda is a sought after creative stylist for celebrity clients, film and fashion events. Her partnerships and collaborations have included working with Anthropologie, Neiman Marcus, BHLDN, and FabFitFun. As an artist, she's had her own museum exhibitions, a card collection for Hallmark Signature and has been a four time featured artist at Art Basel.
As Seen In
Since appearing on two seasons of Project Runway, Amanda’s work has been internationally recognized in hundreds of press mentions and she is a sought after television personality, co-hosting for a weekly morning show, as well as numerous national guest spots. She's a highly popular content creator and collaborator, working with companies like Hearst Publications, Pinterest, Good Housekeeping and Women’s Day.
Amanda became a best-selling published author in 2019 with her first children’s book, F is for Fashion, an illustrated book of fashion ABCs for kids.
She believes we are stronger together and that life is too short not to follow your dreams.
