Q: When did you first know you wanted to become a fashion designer?
A:I’ve always known I wanted to do something big and I think becoming a fashion designer was a natural progression. I spent 17 years in male entertainment and underwear modeling and virtually wore every brand of underwear out there. I launched my first Ciscoheadshotventure, an online men’s magazine in 2008.  Including my daughter in the business was important to me but she was very young at the time.  So, as she was growing up, I took fashion courses at the Art Institute of Colorado.  I learned to channel my creativity
into apparel design, something I had never done before.  It was the catalyst to creating my own line.  I found a great manufacturer in the Denver area that helped me produce my first collection and in 2013, YOCISCO Underwear was born.  My daughter now handles social media for the brand and also helps with creative direction for collections

Q: When did you first know you wanted to be a fashion designer? 

A: It was a natural progression. I  always loved fashion and began to read a lot of fashion magazines in high school. In college, I had a friend whose mom used to give her a credit card to buy things from the old May D & F and she would buy Polo Ralph Lauren, Halston, Liz Claiborne. I began to analyze what made designer clothing special. As I was finishing art school, (I was one of those art students who dressed eclectically)  I began to wonder if I was going to be able to make a living as a fine artist. I had fallen in love with fashion, so I made the decision to become a designer – I thought I could make a living from selling my designs easier than my art. Of course, I also saw it as another form of creation that I Read more!
