Interview With Fashion Stylist JVictoria Fashions






We love to see new fashion stylists in the industry but we absolutely love more is a young fashion stylist! A young fashion stylist that can be comparable to individuals much older than them. The innate talent of styling and creating pieces of art with fashion is so exciting and electrifying to see in the industry. 


We have found a young stylist that knows what is what in the fashion realm and has the most beautiful sets from fun every day wear to fascinating elegant wear. We were lucky enough to get to have an interview with her and explore her position and mind-set into being a young fashion stylist today. Let's get started with the interview!!




PQ: We absolutely love your fashion sets and you have a beautiful portfolio; where do you find inspiration for style?


JVF: Thank you so much!  I find my inspiration for my style by looking at one piece of clothing and start gathering items that goes with it. One shirt or even a little accessory such as a ring can help me put together a complete outfit.


PQ: How old where you when you started having an interest in fashion?


JVF: I have always had an interest for fashion at a young age. When I was little I used to pick out full outfits and I even had the cool sunglasses to match. I use to pose for pictures with my little hand on my hip. Oh yea I was a little fashion diva. Also my fashion interest might have come from my mom. As an infant she had me dressed up all the time matching from head to toe. 


PQ: What are you long term goals in the fashion industry?


JVF: My long term goals in the fashion industry would have to be starting my own business and having it strive and be successful. For my business I would design clothes, produce the clothes I design, be a stylist, and be a personal shopper for other companies and or people. 



PQ: What made you want to be a fashion stylist?


JVF: What inspired me to be a fashion stylist is when I realized I had been blessed with a talent to put together outfits. For example I would put together these outfits from my closet as well as my mother's closet and received many compliments. I began to use the internet to broaden this skill and ever since then I knew what I wanted to do in life. Fashion is like art. Instead of using paint and canvasses I use clothes and accessories and the canvas is whomever decides to wear my "art".


PQ: What are your future goals in the fashion industry?


JVF: My future goals within the fashion industry are, to be a world known stylist and to be a young Christian role model to young women.


PQ: What advice can you give to someone that is young and wants to be part of the fashion industry?


JVF: My advice to those who are young or even older trying to be part of the fashion industry is to never give up, have confidence in yourself, and trust in God for the rest. The scripture that has helped me through the times I felt like giving up is Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me." 


PQ: What advice can you give to someone looking to put together the perfect outfit?



JVF: To those of you trying to put together a perfect outfit, the advice I would like to give is simple. If you think it's cute, you wear it and you strut it! Stop caring what others think, you may start the new fashion trend! 


PQ: Where can we follow you on social media to keep up-to-date with your fashion styles?


JVF: To keep up to date with me you can follow my Instagram @jvictoriafashions, Pinterest @jtorifashions, and Twitter @jorifashions. You can contact me at jvictoriafashions@gmail.com


Special thanks to Peachy Queen Boutique and Ms. Aimee for this opportunity to be on her blog and for helping me start my fashion career. You are truly a blessing in my life, thank you so much. Also, thank you to all those who have read this. You are all a blessing! Much love to you and God bless.

These competitions have given exposure and propelled now top designers such as Karl Lagerfeld and Yves St. Laurent in the past. Ou Ma was selected from her top design school in New York City, Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) to be one of the 6 contestants to design eveningwear gowns.



Her gowns were enchanting with shades of blues and white that presented her undeniably talent and her future success in the fashion industry with her designs. We are so honored to have the opportunity to interview such a designer with immense capacity to make a stamp on the fashion world as we know it. Let’s get started with the interview with Ou Ma!

Untouchable Collection NYC Fashion Week

Ou Ma



PQ: The designs of your eveningwear gowns at NYC Fashion Week were absolutely stunning and entrancing; what gave you inspiration to create and come up with the choice of design and colors for the Supima Design Competition?


Ou Ma: The capsule collection for the Supima Design Competition was a continuation of my senior collection at FIT. It comes from a private personal experience- an unexpected accident that interrupted normal life and distorted healthy and beautiful skin. By breaking down the long and unstable healing process into several stages, this collection explores deeply the status of mental disturbance and the infinite progression of emotional recovery. Starting from free-formed yarns, engineered prints and loosely painted patterns were applied onto Supima cotton fabrics. Pleats, tucks, flares were all created base on the nature of the fabric and to follow the shape of a woman’s body. Tense and gathered, but loose and relaxed- well combined design details also represent the complex yet spontaneous everyday life.

Ou Ma: It was such an amazing experience seeing my creation coming down the runway of New York Fashion Week. I have worked very hard for the past three months with all the design ideas and craftsmanship. I thought through every single detail on each garment and spent so much time working on them. My works deserved to be shown to the industry in this grand platform and it was a dream came true!

PQ: You just graduated from F.I.T.; what is next for Ou Ma in the fashion industry?


Ou Ma: I am now working at Ralph Lauren Women’s Collection and I love what I am doing in the company. I would love to have my own line in the future and create a world for my customers.



PQ: We were only allowed to see your talent as far as eveningwear gowns; how would you describe your designs and portfolio?


Ou Ma: I was specialized in knitwear at FIT but I have passion for all kinds of designs. Fashion is not just storytelling to me; it is more about a style that reflects life. Organic, feminine, and comfortable are always the core spirits to my design, combining with intricate touch of sophistication, chic, and modern. I have always stayed true to myself and also created a lifestyle that can be connected to others.

PQ: When did you decide that you wanted to be a fashion designer and what inspired you to do so?

Ou Ma: I was born to be attracted to art. I started sensing for color when I was very little by exposing to different art books, especially Marc Chagall and Vincent Van Gogh’s artworks. Throughout the years I grew up, I spent so much time sketching and playing with my Barbie Dolls. Not just making clothes, but created stories and adventures for them. I have accomplished a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology in Communication University of China before my journey in Fashion but I have always known fashion is what I wanted to pursuit in life. And what I have read, seen, felt, and experienced made me the person and designer I am today.



PQ: Who are some of your top fashion designer inspirations?


Ou Ma:  Madame Grès and Alexander McQueen are all-time inspirations.



PQ: What do you do to stay motivated and up-to-date with the ever so changing fashion trends and style?


Ou Ma: Along with following top designers in the industry and fashion trend forecasting, I always keep my mind open to different sources of inspirations. Always looking up to new things and innovations and always renewing myself and pushing myself to the next level. Design can only come from the heart, not anywhere else.



PQ: Are you currently working on a line that we will be able to see in the near future and if so when and where?


Ou Ma: I am start working on my own line in the near future and hopefully it can be seen next spring on my own website.



PQ: What is your favorite type of fabric to work with and why is it your favorite?


Ou Ma: I love working with knits and I never got tired of creating my own fabrics. I love to work with something has texture and also comfortable to wear.



PQ: What are your designing essentials that you can’t live without?


Ou Ma: Everything I created means something to me. I will still doing the same thing in the future.
