Jackie Fraser-Swan was in the car on her way over to Lincoln Center when she heard the news.

Needless to say she was thrilled. “It was a complete surprise! My wonderful PR team, People’s Revolution sent dresses to the stylists and apparently it just happened. It’s very exciting!”

I asked her how having that connection affects her ability to create. With only one semester of fashion design school under her belt, Fraser-Swan says “I think I was just confidant, I knew how to put together a great team, it’s just something I just had, I had a vision for what I wanted to do.”

From a family ripe with entrepreneurial spirit, Fraser-Swan has found a way to balance being the mother of four young daughters, design four collections, and show them at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.
