BOLD JOURNEY
Story & Lesson Highlights with Syreeta C of Rockville, MD
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name is Syreeta C and I run the eponymous brand, Syreeta C | Fashion. I am most known for my specialization in custom garment design in the DMV area, however over the years, I have evolved to understand that I am many things. A designer & tailor, surely — but I am also an arts educator, a community engaged creative, a mentor, and a champion of authenticity & empowerment.
CANVAS REBEL
Syreeta, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Let’s start with the story of your mission. What should we know?
I have always been captivated by clothing’s ability to communicate on behalf of the wearer. Growing up, I used fashion as a tool for expression. Not only did I grow up fairly timid and introverted, but I have also experienced sudden sensorineural hearing loss twice.

Tell us about Syreeta C Fashion
I began the Syreeta C | Fashion journey in 2011. After completing my BFA in Fashion Design, I didn’t expect my Entrepreneurship minor to become as big of a resource. I had initially added it to my college curriculum for balance but received a request for custom design soon after graduating. My first client expressed hardship in finding a seamstress that could create ideas she sketched out herself without a pattern. I didn’t bat an eye since I could draft patterns myself and “the rest is history,” as they say.
