Fresh Pick of the Week!: Mila and Fire

-->

When two innovative individuals with paralleled eclectic senses for fashion combine, amazing things can come to life. 24-year-old long time best friends Mila and Fire are a perfect example of what can be accomplished when two people sharing the same passion for fashion collaborate.

            Individualism, style, and sex. Not only is this the motto for their self-named apparel line Mila and Fire, but it is also the look and essence they aim to achieve with their garments. Graduates from the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill and Virginia Commonwealth University, the ladies studied topics of public relations, fashion and French. They are currently working hard in the nation’s capitol of Washington D.C. as business owners, entrepreneurs, and most importantly TRENDsetters.

         “We have always been lovers of fashion, specifically of electric pieces with a sexy undertone. We’ve always pushed the envelope, with interest in the evolution and recycling of fashion” said the ladies. Both are natives to the Washington D.C. fashion scene.

“We believe that Washingtonians have an impeccable sense of fashion, that is often overshadowed by the business suits of the political world and practical clothing worn by tourists.”

            The Mila and Fire clothing line always ensures that their pieces appeal to a wide array of body types. Many of their garments are reconstructed, adding their own twist or vintage style to items they purchase themselves. “Garments are only as great as they body they are flattering” said the ladies. This is extremely important when trying to appeal to a diverse crowd of customers, like those in Washington D.C. and surrounding metropolitan areas.

             Keeping a close eye on people in the city, their own peers, as well as surrounding environments is what helps Mila and Fire in their creative process. “Our creativity is awakened at the most random times and in the most random forms,” said the ladies. “There is something about watching other young business owners thrive that pushes us to aim for the same high goals.”

            “We would love for our brand to help make a name for the D.C. fashion scene,” said the ladies. It is safe to say they have already accomplished getting their brand out there with a strong online presence and a photograph feature if their apparel in the NY Times during Brooklyn’s Afro-Punk Festival. 

            Everyone should stay tuned as the ladies are currently in the process of planning a launch for their collection which will be their own sketches and visions- it will be 100% Mila and Fire. Their spark in the fashion world is only sure to continue growing.

            “We try not set limitations on ourselves so that in the future we can continue to grow and expand Mila and Fire in as many ways as possible”.
