For I am fearfully and wonderfully made.....

 

GROWING UP

I must say that I have always been fascinated by the vivid array of colors displayed thoughout the world through the lens of nature and it's habitation. This allowed me to love and appreciate the various colors and styles of clothing that I saw through the world of Fashion. As a young girl growing up in Albany, NY, you can imagine how excited I was when my parents would take the family on annual family road trips to New York City during the summer. Those were wonderful times for me because not only did I enjoy the excitement of the City but I got the opportunity to shop and choose clothing that would complete my unique, trendy, and stylish wardrobe to wear each school year. 

​

OFF TO NYC

I believe it was during those times that my passion for style and fashion began to form and I had the desire to one day establish a clothing boutique which would also include designing a clothing line. With my mind made up, upon graduating from High School, I set my sights on moving to New York, the Fashion Capital of the World.

​

WHAT'S IN A NAME?

Although I did not start my business right away, I would host parties and pop-up shops at my home and in event spaces selling clothing items and acessories to all who would support me. Fast forward to today and here we are, what was once a dream, has now become a reality.

 

FloJo NY is an online clothing boutique whose name was derived by co-joining the first names of two very special people in my life, my mother, Flossie and my father, Joseph.  The origin of my name, Flossie, comes from the Latin name Florence which means to flourish and to be prosperous. It is awesome to know that I am fearfully and wonderfully made by God with a mixed blend of both my parents making me a truly unique individual.

Since Beauty, Texture, Uniqueness, Color and Quality is what draws me to clothing and fabric it's important that we showcase those sometimes One-of-a-Kind/One Off pieces, for that individual who embodies and understands their Uniqueness.
