EMERGING DESIGNER

Michele Bege

IN THIS FEATURE: Meet Michele Fashion Focus

I attended several schools. I started at Miami Dade Community College then Broward Community College, Barry University and finally Nova Southeastern University. Much of what I know about jewelry specifically is self taught. I have taken classes at different museums in some techniques like silver clay.
I received several awards for my artwork while in high school and college. I also have received several awards in museum shows and juried shows. I was lucky enough to be in the Hortt at the Museum of Art in Fort Lauderdale.

I haven't had one, but I probably will before it is all over.

If you could only shop at one store, which would it be?

I guess it would be a bead store, because I love making jewelry.

I am going to change one thing. I want lights in my closet.

If you had to describe your personal style in one word, what would it be?

Eclectic.

If you could bring back any fashion trend, what would it be?

I like clothing that is costume like or a bit theatrical. Medieval, Renaissance era , ultra contemporary .

If we could take a look into your personal closet, what would we find?

I have simple tastes in clothes. I wear a lot of black, but also like bright colors. I like velvet, and satin and bows and eyelet. I like skinny jeans and party dresses and yoga pants.
