PINK CHERIE- PART 2 INTERVIEW

Geneva: Now so many trends come and go in fashion. What trend would you be
overjoyed to never see return?

Pink Cherie: Let’s see. Where do I begin, multi colored leggings, baggy drapy tops with the fitted band on the bottom, denim short shorts with the pockets hanging out,  statement t-shirts that say what may be deemed as “funny,” high waisted harem pants and tops with rhinestones. LOL

Geneva: When it comes to women what do you think is the biggest mistake we make when it comes to accessories?

Pink Cherie: I believe the biggest mistake is not knowing when enough is enough. Sometimes you just may need to simply add earrings to your look and be done. Other times it can be not accessorizing at all and your look is blended in which actually conveys a message of being really dull.

Geneva: Can you tell us about Pink Friday?

Pink Cherie: Pink Fridays is an event we will begin hosting every Friday starting the first Friday in October for 6 months. This is an event where we will either take one item from the store and put it at a disgustingly low price. Like a necklace that was maybe $35.00 is now $7.00 just for that day. And of course we offer free standard shipping year round so that is really all your paying. Some of the Friday’s will be where we let consumers pick the price from our facebook fan page. We would announce the item on a Wednesday and offer various price ranges and with a quick vote before Friday whatever price is voted for, then on that Friday that is what it is available for and it is just for that one day and back to its normal price at 12:01am for Saturday. So basically like our facebook fan page and stay tuned to our Pink Fridays.

Geneva: What is the next level for Pink Cherie?

Pink Cherie: Right now we are working on licensing for our own signature collection called P.Series. We have these earrings that will just make your head go crazy because of the design. These are our signature earrings that you can look out for within the next year. The first edition will be a limited edition and we will be making an announcement on that. Also we are underway to opening up a boutique on Miami Beach. So we have a lot going on right now and just so excited for the women who just share the love and understand that we are here to cater to you.

Geneva: When it comes to fashion that is innovating can you name your top ten designers of all time?

Pink Cherie: My top ten designer would be Alexander McQueen (RIP), Oscar De La Renta, Roberto Cavalli, Valentino, Tracy Reese, Elie Saab, Monique Lhuillier, Zac Posen, Jason Wu, and Marc Jacobs.

Geneva: Animal prints are huge in fashion, what is so innovating about animal print?

Pink Cherie: Well what makes animal print so huge in fashion is that it is a time piece. It has always been around, from cheetah print to zebra, animal print has always added that pop to your look and really speaks sophistication when it isn’t overdone.

Geneva: There are so many innovating, fashion diva icons in the limelight right now, who are your top picks?


Pink Cherie: I really just like a woman who knows what works right for her so I would have to say my top five would be fashion divas Kerry Washington, Rihanna, Kim Kardashian, Michelle Obama, Olivia Palermo. Others I would include to the list would be Jennifer Lopez, Jada Pinkett Smith, Anne Hathaway, Scarlett Johansson and Madonna.

Geneva: Pink Cherie has been spotted everywhere on some major celebrities. What was that defining moment that Pink Cherie was on the fashion map?


Pink Cherie: That moment of eureka came really not so much with celebrities as it did with customers providing us with endless amounts of thank you emails and also certain international singers wanting to be styled by us.

Geneva: What inspires you when you see fashion. What makes your list in the top fashion trends and must haves?

Pink Cherie: What inspires the most is really how a woman wears what she is wearing because it speaks volumes. I love it when women has a signature style that they own and wear correctly and know how to infuse trends into their signature look. As far as my list of top fashion must haves, I would say a must have is form fitting jeans, a fitted blazer, statement belt, a trench coat, all white dress, all black dress, and pencil skirt.

Geneva: Pink Cherie is innovative, remarkably the ultimate one stop for fashion and all that in between. What is it about fashion that is so powerful?

Pink Cherie: Fashion is all about freedom of expression and what gravitates people to fashion is how you express your style. Everyone wants to express themselves in some way. When you mute out fashion from your life as fashion is art, it’s basically like you are silencing yourself. You’re really not recognizing a part of you and ultimately dismissing your own voice.

Geneva: Thanks you so much for this opportunity, and is there anything you would like to say to your supporters before we go? Again don't forget to tell us where to find you and how to keep up with the latest.

Pink Cherie: I would love to say we do appreciate and love all our customers. Surprisingly enough, we remember many of them and really want to go out of our way and say thank you. Also you can shop at our online store which is www.pinkcherie.com. And keep up with our latest announcements through our facebook page with is www.facebook.com/officiallypinkcherie or through twitter which is www.twitter.com/pinkcherie.

PINK CHERIE- PART 1 INTERVIEW

Pink Cherie
 Fabulous fashion just a click away!
Interview By: Geneva Relf

Geneva: Greetings and thank you so much for your time and this opportunity
to interview you!

Pink Cherie (Tatiana) : Thank you. It is a blessing to have this opportunity with you as well.

Geneva: Pink Cherie is known for it's innovation in fashion & style. What gives Pink Cherie the edge in fashion?

Pink Cherie: What really gives Pink Cherie the edge is the woman wearing the clothing. We stand behind our clothing believing that for the Pink Cherie woman, this particular piece would work well, but we know that despite what we pick it is all about how it is worn and the combination of clothing and accessories we provide the Pink Cherie woman to create and make a look her own. Our edge is unapologetic. We love all things feminine and luxurious.

Geneva: Pink Cherie was established in 2007, what was the motivation behind starting Pink Cherie?

Pink Cherie: Pink Cherie really started out from a love and passion for dresses and jewelry. Seeing a small group of women who understood their presence and purpose on earth and did things with a grace, fueled the love to create a brand that established catering to this woman who knew who she was already. She is not defining it or searching for it. She stands for something.

Geneva: Pink Cherie is a beautiful name of sophistication, where did it come from?

Pink Cherie: Actually the name came about from my mother as well as myself. I wanted the word pink to be in the name since I believe there should be a touch of pink in everything since pink symbolize femininity, and my mother was just blurting out words and she said Cherie as she sometimes tends to call me which in French means baby or sweetheart. So we put it together and called it Pink Cherie.

Geneva: Who is Pink Cherie, and why must the rest of the world tune into
it's fashion?

Pink Cherie: Great question. Pink Cherie is the woman who is extremely confident in herself and exudes it in such a way to which she is selling her personality/image everyday and doesn’t shy away from it. In fact she is the image that others want to be because she is so comfortable with her femininity and confidence. She stands by what she believes in and is not shaken by others uncertainties about themselves. She is a woman who has control over what manifest in her life and is the result of her own reasoning. She sets her own style, motivates other women into acknowledging their own truth as well as lives in it everyday. Her confidence may be deemed as arrogance and quite frankly appalling but none the less she is recognized for the virtues she carries. Pink Cherie’s motto is “My personal style is your personal motivation.” The Pink Cherie woman has the style that others look to obtain.

Geneva: Now Pink Cherie is deigned with a women in mind. When it comes to
fashion what is the most important rule all women need to remember?


Pink Cherie: The one MAIN rule women need to remember is that not all rules apply to you. Basically do not restrict yourself to exploring other parts of your style and personality because of so called “fashion rules.” As the saying goes, learn the rules, then break them. If you are a Pink Cherie woman you define your style and your own rules. 

Geneva: When it comes to trends what are the do's and don't that many seem
to forget?

Pink Cherie: Trends are like …….how do I say this? Trends are fine to a certain extent. Basically it’s like having chef come in every Thanksgiving to prepare your turkey. Your chef tells you what you’re going to eat. You can expect the same thing every Thanksgiving. Maybe last year you had a glazed turkey and the year before that it was fried and now this year it’s baked. Either way it’s a turkey that will be on your plate at a certain time every season. Crazy to compare trends with turkeys but in essence what I’m saying is that as a don’t – do not give your “chef” aka “fashion whomever” total control of what is going to be on your closet and worn by you. If anything, a do for a trend is to ask yourself can I and will I wear this again in the two – six months and still look good in it? Is this trend for me because as we all know it is a complete NO to follow every trend because trends are not developed with every woman in mind. In fact to follow every trend says a lot about a person but that is a different story. Some trends just are not for you. The designer of that trend may not have you in mind or even think to target it to you. If the fashion trend of the moment does not accentuate any part of your body and display it in the most flattering way, then stay away from it.

Geneva: Is there one trend you wish would comeback to the forefront in fashion?

Pink Cherie: Honestly there aren’t really any trends that I wish would do a serious comeback as there are themes. I am a lover of the bunching up of bangle bracelets, the doorknocker earrings, classic boyfriend blazers, and the skinny ankle jeans. I am also a lover of a simple necklace and dress with scarf to act as a belt to accentuate the waist. But the reality for me is that themes carry more weight in how we dress. As far as fashion right now, I would love to see old style bohemian looks paired together with classic American looks with a lot more detail for blouses, tops and dresses. While these are contrasting styles, I believe these two looks can merge together and create some new staple pieces. I also see more so rugged colors working together with nude colors. These are the themes really I believe should be worked on right now.

Geneva: When it comes to accessories what is a classic must have?

Pink Cherie: Well outside from the shoes and handbag, I’m a firm believe a great belt. What I mean by this a statement belt. I don’t care if you’re wearing a simple wife beater and skirt, but once you pair it off with that one belt it just changes your look completely. Certain statement belts really are a good investment. Also hoop earrings of any size are a must as well as pearls and some great diamond-esqu (or cubic zirconium) stud earrings. Oh you also need to add a cocktail ring and a statement necklace.
