Back in June, we were able to feature designer Wasimah Dorn on The Spotlight! The designer reached out to us, and opened up about re-branding her custom line, Cledgy Customs, and what buyers can look forward to in 2016!



Wasimah decided to take time to reflect on Cledgy Customs and see what she needed to change specifically in order to be successful. "As a business owner, you're constantly learning lessons. Everyday you're putting out fires, finding ways to do better while using those "uh oh" moments as lessons learned," the designer said. She found a clean disconnection with her audience and followers on social media. "Here I am trying to build a brand with 800 followers and it seems as if something's missing," Wasimah admitted. "It was at that moment that I realized that my audience wants to know who Wasimah is, what Cledgy Customs represents. They want to know your every move, not to be nosy, but to be included along the journey." The entrepreneur decided that it was time to rebrand and reintroduce herself and her clothing line in 2016.



In terms of what will be different about Cledgy Customs, Wasimah stated that the business will be more personable and consistent. "You will start seeing what "Cledgy" means and how impactful it can be to women," she stated. "The changes will show each day, starting with my posts on Instagram." Currently, the designer is working on an event to showcase the brand, allow women to come out interact with her and learn about all things Cledgy Customs. She is also planning to do a photo shoot showcasing new items, hoping to empower and uplift the women involved with the shoot. "Overall I will say, we’re ending the year hungry to take over 2016 and we’re going to kick it off right!" Wasimah stated.

Today, we have Wasimah Dorn, creator of women's boutique Cledgy Customs! The designer has always had a great love of fashion, and began designing her own looks, believing that it was a unique way to truly express herself. “I feel like your outfit says a lot about who you are, what you do/like, what mood you are in that day etc.,” Wasimah said. “I've always aspired to be different from everyone else.” She began getting great compliments on her style and questions about where she got her clothes, and people would ask if she could create looks for them as well. “That’s when it all clicked for me,” Wasimah said. “It’s like ‘Okay, well maybe I should start my business and stop playing.’”

Inspired by her city of Philadelphia, and other women who are not afraid to be themselves, Wasimah started Cledgy Customs (classy and edgy in one word) 10 months ago, offering one of a kind designs for women to empower them. I wanted to empower other women as well as inspire them to embrace who they are. The designer said of her start of the business:
"I want to help women understand it's ok to not be the same as the next female you see. Don't be basic, be bold! Don't follow trends; create them with Cledgy Customs. I want them to look in the mirror and love what they are wearing and what they see. Young women can inspire other women, and together, we can all be bold and embrace our individuality through self love & Cledgy Customs. Cledgy Customs offers women customized classy and edgy items to ensure the highest of individuality within my brand. It's all about being bold and embracing your individuality as you empower other women.”

Currently, Wasimah is focused on getting her name and the brand out there, exploring vendor opportunities and upcoming photo shoots. In the future, she wants to build a respectable brand that is known for its positive moment. “I will become a businesswoman who inspires other women to never give up and never stop loving who/what they see in the mirror,” the designer said. “I will create an empire around women embracing their individuality through Cledgy Customs.”
