EMERGING DESIGNER |
Sheila Rodriguez |
In 2003, Sheila attended the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale, enrolling immediately after graduating high school. She received grants and was there for two quarters before being offered a job as a lab monitor, which is student assistant sewing instructor. While attending the Art Institute, she produced and designed for several fashion shows, and received awards for visual merchandising, pattern-making, and garment construction. She had the opportunity to work with several charities including the Humane Society where she won first place in the school's local cruelty-free garments contest. She also participated in a private show for an Andy Roddick charity event.
After graduating in 2007, she started working as the chairman's assistant, which allowed her to participate in several fashion shows for different charities. She also started working on her first collection. Rodriguez created her clothing line, Genisifunk in 2005. Since its inception, she has had three collections shown. Each garment is unique. Items are rarely, if ever duplicated. She never makes more than 3 pieces of the same garment. Sheila believes that what you wear should express your individual style. That's what fashion is all about. She met Jacinta Ligon from J.R. Ligon who later became her mentor- "I am influenced by my mentor, I try to learn as much as I can from her."
Genesi funk is not just a clothing line, it's a lifestyle. It's young and funky, grown and sexy.

Sheila Rodriguez on Fashion
What has been your biggest fashion faux-pas?
Would I be wrong to say I've not found mine yet?
If you could only shop at one store, which would it be?
If I to go shopping, I would shop at Miziq. Shopping there assures me that I would be wearing a one-of-a-kind piece.
If you could change one thing about your closet, what would it be?
I'd make it BIGGER!
Survival of the fittest: What is one item in your closet that you will never get rid of?
I made a corset for myself for Andy Roddick's charity. It was signed by several famous tennis players.
If you were given the opportunity to have a famous designer revamp your entire wardrobe, who would you choose?
I would choose Oscar de la Renta. I really love the grown and sexy look his garments offer.
Name an actor/singer/celebrity whose wardrobe you admire the most.
I admire Beyonce's wardrobe. Her garments are absolutely stunning.
What are your best and worst fashion purchases?
My best purchase has probably been expensive shoes, my worst is cheap shoes. It pays to spend more on a pair of shoes.
Who makes your favorite pair of jeans? Shoes? Dress or Suit?
Guess makes a damn good pair of skinny jeans (my favorite!) My favorite shoes come from Guess also. I love Oscar de la Renta's spring dresses.
If you had to describe your personal style in one word, what would it be?
I am very corporate during the day but very sassy at night.
If you could bring back any fashion trend, what would it be?
I would bring the 1800 era back. I would love to see women walking around in corsets and bustles. The hair style and powdering of the face was amazing too.
