TMLA Fashion Week Feature: Yummi Couture
Yummi Couture is more than a fashion brand—it’s a statement of boldness, confidence, and individuality. Known for her daring designs and attention to detail, Designer Yummi Couture brings passion, heritage, and innovation together to create pieces that command attention and empower every woman who wears them.
The Inspiration
“My designs were inspired by being bold and capturing every eye. Even the little black dress can be a statement piece,” Yummi shares.
Sewing runs in her blood. “It was passed down from my grandfather,” she recalls. “I knew at a young age I was going to be a designer. Living in New York, fashion was the culture—it was part of who I am.”
The Creative Process
Every Yummi Couture piece begins as a dream or a visual. “Fabric usually inspires me,” she explains. “After choosing it, I construct each piece by hand. But the design isn’t complete without the details. Next comes the fitting—and then it’s runway ready.”
From sexy silhouettes to intricate textures, each creation tells a story of confidence and craftsmanship. “Certain staples are my brand no matter what the trends are,” she says. “My designs are a part of who I am. Sexy is always in style.”
The Details That Define
Yummi’s signature elements—lace, fur, chains, zippers, and grommets—set her work apart. “The details always make my designs pop,” she says.
She’s also mindful of her environmental impact: “Using faux leather and faux fur allows me to stay environmentally conscious. I make sure no material goes to waste.”
Community & Craftsmanship
Yummi believes true fashion is built on connection and community. “I support local businesses for materials and accessories, and I love getting input from my community,” she says.
Her craftsmanship is defined by heart and purpose: “The care, the comfort, and the uniqueness that I add to every design is what defines innovation for me.”
Inspiration & Legacy
When it comes to icons, Yummi looks up to the best. “Queen Bey and Chlöe are always inspirational—sexy, classy, and trendsetting.”
But even as a perfectionist, she finds peace in seeing her art come to life. “Being satisfied is the hardest thing for me,” she admits. “But when I see my vision on the runway and hear the applause, those doubts disappear.”
The Yummi Couture Experience
Yummi hopes every client feels her passion in each piece. “I want them to feel confident, accepted, joyful, and driven.”
Her vision for the future? “I see my designs evolving into a household name—breaking molds, with a sleeker and more snatched finish.”
Words of Wisdom
To aspiring designers, Yummi offers heartfelt advice:
“Always be true to your craft. Be kind and respectful to everyone you meet, and always take a ‘no’ as a ‘not right now.’”
Defining Success
For Yummi, success isn’t measured in fame or fortune—it’s measured in impact.
“My success is defined by knowing I could be an influential part of someone else’s positive journey.”
Yummi Couture at TMLA Fashion Week reminds us all that fashion isn’t just fabric—it’s expression, empowerment, and art in motion.
