EMERGING DESIGNER

Bianca Terry

IN THIS FEATURE: Meet Bianca Terry Fashion Focus

I believe everything begins with a vision. Before I shop, I have a vision of what I wish to buy. Before I sketch, I have a vision of what I would like a garment to be. Visions of designs come at anytime and I have to be prepared to make a quick sketch. They can come in the middle of the night; while I’m watching TV; while I’m driving…you get the picture. I am most inspired by world culture and landscapes and old movies. My current style can be described as many things – girlie, boho chic, beachy, sporty. However, my ideal style is tropical, beachy, resort-like…I’ll get there one day!

Bonita by Bianca Terry is fun, flirty and innocently sexy. This designer has a distinguishing point of view and a fresh new approach to the little "non-black" dress that we adore.
