Not most little girls start designing clothes at seven; then again not most little girls are Gracienne Myers. In only two short years, her fabulous shoe designs have graced (no pun intended) the feet of stars like Paris Hilton, Rachel Bilson and Blake Lively and have also made appearances on L.A. Fashion Week's runways. Unlike most, Gracienne had no prior experience in the shoe industry. In fact her previous employment involved five years working at a flower store in Brazil! Led only by her creativity and astute sense of fashion design, Gracienne managed to design not only a beautiful line of shoes, but also a comfortable one to boot.Her line is inspired by the Brazilian woman. When asked what this person embodies, Gracienne responds that it is not the beauty most people think Brazilian women encompass. While she acknowledges the attractiveness of women in her home country, she finds American women to be equally as beautiful. The one thing that separates them...confidence.
