Behind The Brand

MIESHA is a fashion label created, owned, and operated by the self-taught Fashion Designer, Kira Towns. Kira first found her love for fashion, and sewing at the young at of 8 years old. Her grandmother gifted her with a toy sewing machine for Christmas that year, and she began to sew doll clothes, and small purses. Sadly, throughout the years she lost her passion for sewing, and started searching for other career paths considering a career in Law. Upon graduating high school, Kira attended the HBCU, Savannah State University, where she majored in Political Science. While sitting in a lecture class one-day, she had the realization that maybe this was not the route she was meant to take.
One night while sitting in her dorm, she started binge watching sewing tutorials on YouTube. Instantly, her passion for fashion hit her again. While out shopping one-day, she gave into an impulsive decision, and bought her first real sewing machine. She created her first design from an old t-shirt, and instantly fell in love with the skill. For the next few months; she took old clothes and turned them into beautiful, trendy designs. She documented and posted her creations on social media for a while, & slowly started getting inquiries to create pieces for others. 

Eventually, prom season approached. Kira started to get a lot of inquiries to create prom gowns for teens in her hometown. Reluctant that her skills were not ready for such extravigant designs, she declined the requests. However, upon moving to Atlanta she found an amazing mentor, Geneva, whom she worked alongside with creating beautiful prom gowns. Late in the 2021 prom season, Kira decided to take a small amount of prom requests to challenge her creative, and design ability. By the grace of God, all of the gowns she decided to create came out perfect. Every girl loved their dress! Kira instantly fell in-love with the craft all over again.

After prom season she decided that she wanted to grow her business, and talents. After struggling to find a design name that fit her, she decided to go by the abbreviation of her first name, Miesha. Finally, Kira decided to start the development of her fashion label. After sometime, Kira was featured in her first ever fashion show where she was able to create and design her own mini collection. She fell in love with every piece, and wanted to keep creating her own unique designs.

Although Kira specializes in Prom & Customs for the most part; She believes that fashion has no rules. MIESHA will not only offer prom & customs, but will also offer Streetwear, Couture, Exotic, Chic, Boho, Gothic, Punk, and Grunge Fashion Designs. Kira finds inspiration all over, and doesn't believe in sticking to just one design aesthetic. As the days change, so does her inspiration, and design choices.

We are so excited to see how MIESHA grows, and what opportunities lie ahead. We hope that you can enjoy & take in each design that MIESHA creates, just as much as Kira enjoys creating them.
