Is it funky? Fresh? Fly? Dope? Hot? No! Haute? Fire (pronounced Fiya!)? Fab?

Walk in her shoes…

Samantha Black was born in the Boogie-Down Bronx on Sept 2, 1983. Born to West-Indian parents, Samantha is the first of this generation born in the states. Raised in New York, Samantha took art lessons at the Jamaica arts center in Queens, NY. At the age of eleven she moved to the suburbs of Connecticut to the town of Fairfield. Living in Connecticut is where Samantha expanded her artistic abilities, taking as many art classes as possible and on the weekend private art lessons. Once she reached high school she began training it to the city, where she took art classes at Parsons School of design. As the end of her high school career approached Samantha wondered how art would fit into her life as far as a career was concerned. It was recommended to Samantha that she looks into fashion design as a career, seeing as sewing was a hobby of hers and all of her notebooks were covered in doodles of fashion figures. So the summer before her senior year of high school, she spent the summer in Brooklyn, NY at Pratt Institutes Pre-College program in the fashion department. After that summer, Samantha knew that fashion was where her passion was for sure and that Pratt is where she wanted to study.

Four years later…

Samantha Black, the Designer of Sammy B. Designs, graduated from the prestigious Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY in 2005 with a BFA in fashion design. While in school she interned for Jill Stuart and Michael Kors, after graduating Samantha moved to London for several months where she worked for Alexander McQueen in his design studio. Now at age 26, the designer takes bits and pieces of inspiration from everywhere and everything as well as the designers she’s been able to work for. She then combines that with her own personal style, personality and flavor, there by producing the line of Sammy B. Designs. Her goal is to compliment those with style and to enhance the style of others. With a wide range of looks and separates she hopes to appeal to the masses, but mainly females like herself, Tomboys in Pumps!

Brains and beauty…
