Interview with Esther Nash about her new art book, "Fashionista"


All rights reserved. Unauthorized use or reproduction of coyrighted materials is strictly prohibited. A Fashionista is defined as one who designs, models, or markets high-fashion clothing. This defines me. I am a designer, model and marketer of high fashion clothing therefore I am a Fashionista. Fashionista through its photos depicts my strong independence, freedom of style, flair and passion for fashion.

A fourth generation New Yorker, I grew up in an environment saturated with art and culture. Even as a child, I was a fashionista-all year round style. My inspiration for "Fashionista" came from my love of style, fashion, mood, color and New York City.

Fortunately, I have a mother who is naturally talented, creative, artistic, highly intelligent (practically genius), a visionary, a pioneer, who always encouraged me to reach for the stars and beyond. My mother is graceful, elegant, royal, fresh, spontaneous, adventurous and unique.

Even though she worked many hours everyday she always found time to spend with me even if it meant no sleep for her. She always impressed upon me the importance of education, work, accomplishment and financial independence. I have a sister who has been helpful and supportive of my aspirations. I consider myself very lucky.

Many can copy but few can create. I feel blessed that I was born with natural talent, a gift from God. I feel blessed that I was provided opportunities to develop and showcase my talent.

My Mother raised my sister and I to always know the difference between quality not quantity. unfortunately, thieves also know the difference. My mother is creative and always very generous with everything. One winter, our mother gifted us a beautiful antique snow sleigh. Before we had an opportunity to sleigh - it was stolen from our home. I was very upset about this. I decided to replace it by building a sleigh in my after-school carpentry class. My teacher helped me one on one.

My Mother made me realize it was not my fault. They liked what I had and they stole it. My roller skates, bikes, and coats were also stolen. I tried to make the best of the situation. I was able to create and make more. All was not lost and forgotten. I could design, create and build it from scratch. Nothing is out of reach if you have a little imagination.

All these experiences molded me into the person I am today. The truth is that when you have something really nice everyone else wants it. I did not give up on having beautiful things of value. I decided to build them or create them myself. In a way it is all a compliment-meaning i have good taste. I have had many experiences thus far and that is why I am the way I am today. I grew as a person and am much stronger.I do not take things for granted or assume anything is coming to me. I always strive and try to make the best of my situations and to grow, learn from each one.

Most recently I have been working on creating some inventions. I plan to create designs for the disabled. I want to help improve their lives. I hope to keep creating in different avenues. All the negatives so far have been a blessing in disguise. I decided to be in the moment and enjoy today. Make the best of every situation. Wherever I go I try to make a holiday and celebration.

This book is a tribute to my life and experiences so far. I hope to be able to publish more soon. Thank you.
