about me

My name is mianna celani, i was born on October 15th, making me a libra (sun, 1st house) which, i think, is why i felt called to pursue a career in fashion (if you believe in that stuff). i’m an animal lover, my best friend is my dog, presley, who has been apart of my life since i was 17 years old. i graduated from the seattle central college apparel design program with an associates degree in applied science. there my instructors continually warned me that my design ideas might take too much time and too much work for me to get them in on time. despite this, i sacrificed much of my sleep and almost all of me free time to try and prove them wrong. but i didn’t always get the outcomes i hoped for, and my ambition often trumped my abilities. however, i also made some amazing things, did stuff i didn’t think i could, and impressed myself with my resilience. despite experiencing both success and failure during my time as a student, the successes pushed me to continue to do the hard things, but the failures were the ones that helped me learn and grow, they taught me the things my instructors couldn’t.

y design philosophy first and fore-most is self-discipline and a love for the game. i’m always on the search for what’s next. my designs are influenced by historical references, media, film and art as well as the designers who continue to inspire me, like Issey miyake, Alexander mcqueen, yohji yamamoto, and jean paul guatier to name a few. i love sharing my art with the world and hope that i can design clothes for global distribution. I’m extremely ambitious with a strong belief in the work i put into the world. Fashion is not only my job, it also is incorporated in my daily life and immersed into all my hobbies.
