Meet the Super Woman who is taking the Fashion Industry by Storm, Georgia Culp

 

The RelevancECOlogy event showcases many local artist who not only have an eye for the arts, but also are aware of the daily harm that is placed on the environment due to basic human mannerisms, such as not recycling and wasting recyclable goods. Join Kelaiah Rose, CEO of The Rose Carpet Media Group as she Steps onto The Rose Carpet with Orlando Fashion Designer, Georgia Culp. While always having a passion for fashion, Georgia Culp embodies all things fabulous with an artistic flare at the RelevancECOlogy event in Orlando, Florida. Georgia Culp is a woman on a mission to make a statement worth making. Beginning her career in a costume warehouse where she assisted in the creation and structure of extravagant costumes, Culp got her first taste of the fashion industry while working in a costume warehouse where she participated in creating and building extravagant costumes for clients. Once Culp got a taste of the fashion world, and just how much there are no limitations to what you can do with fashion, it sparked a fire underneath hear that made her want to pursue a career in the fashion industry. Georgia Culp decided to not just dwell on loving fashion but she began to pursue fashion full force by enrolling herself into an undergraduate fashion program at Sanford Orlando Brown, where she received her Bachelors Degree in Fashion Design and Merchandising, which was a major milestone for Culp. While always being inspired by fashion, Georgia Culp happened to be invited to the “Trash to Trends” fashion show here in Orlando. The “Trash to Trends” fashion show is focused on local designers creating wearable fashions for models to walk the runway. All of the designs showcased at this event are made of recyclable goods, and began the spark of inspiration for Culp to be more eco-friendly in her designs and creations.

Georgia Culp now focuses her brand on wearable fashion because it is not just cost-effective, but it is also way better for the environment and preserving the planet. “We are tired of getting fabrics that are breaking down and going into the trash, when we should be buying pieces and paying for pieces that should last for years, because that’s the way it use to be,” says Culp as she explains the damages the fashion industry has placed on the environment with the lackluster quality of some fabrics and materials. After having her eyes opened and understanding how the world of fashion can change the mold of the industry, Georgia Culp decided to make her brand a brand that not just makes a statement, but also changes the world.

“Wearable fashion, that’s where it’s at,” she explains. “Now we live in a world of disposable fashion. A garment piece last no more than three months, especially when you keep washing it; and that’s not good for the environment.” Culp is a pioneer for the enviroment and the fashion industry that will not go unnoticed, from her eccentric designs to her focus on being eco-friendly, Georgia Culp is a force to be reckoned with.Although the RelevancECOlogy event was focused on the preserving the enviroment and creating masterpieces out of recyclable goods, Culp has the ability to make grand designs with minimal material, i.e. paper and hot glue, imagine the designs she can create with the proper fabrics.

Georgia Culp is open and available for your next customized garment, created with the consumer in mind of course. Contact Orlando Fashion Designer Georgia Culp for your next beautiful fashion piece; contact information below.

Make way to Coastal Georgia for Weekend Sessions

Step onto The Rose Carpet as we made our way to Hinesville, Georgia on Friday, June 22^nd, for Weekend Sessions at The Liberty County Performing Arts Center with Bernard Rose and The Weekend Sessions Band, along with special guest performances. Weekend Sessions is a bi-monthly event that takes place in the military town of Hinesville, Georgia. The events began about two and a half years ago when creator and saxophonist Bernard Rose decided to take cultural matters into his own hands and create Weekend Sessions. “We don’t have a lot of regular cultural, arts, music events outside of the events that the city does,” explained Rose in a sit-down interview with CEO of The Rose Carpet Media Group, Kelaiah Rose. Following through on a dream that he had for many years, Bernard Rose took matters into his own hands and created Weekend Sessions, “…We don’t really have a consistent event in this area, so one of my dreams was to make a consistent event of this nature available to the public that they could come to.”

Weekend Sessions mainly focuses on musical talents from a multitude of genres to include Jazz and Blues, just to name a few, from many talented musicians from the community. Every event features Bernard Rose, better known as The Satin Sax, along with the Weekend Sessions Band. Carl Hudson and Tony Royster Sr. graced the Weekend Sessions stage accompanied by Willie Keith Milner, for providing the audio sound.  This month’s event showcased local talent Mr. Percival Williams of the Tybee Island area. Specializing in guitar and piano, vocalist Percival Williams took over the show with some of his original songs from his debut album “Heaven & Earth,” as well as showcasing some cover songs of great classics such as “Ain’t No Sunshine” by Bill Withers. You can catch local artist Percival Williams playing throughout the local community at many local clubs and churches throughout the Savannah, Georgia region. Mr. Williams is not the only artist who has graced the Weekend Sessions stage, often times a well-known national artist will also take part in this amazing local event. Although Weekend Sessions is a local event, Bernard Rose is no amateur to the music industry. Releasing his first album “Shorebreeze” in 2011, Bernard Rose was astonished by the feedback he received from many of the industry’s most influential key-players, to include making it through multiple rounds of the prescreening process of the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles. Following his debut album, Rose released a Contemporary Jazz/Gospel album entitled “Faith, Inspiration, & Praise Vol. 1,” as well as his newest single release of “City Ways.” Although Rose has been focused on bringing more music and cultural diversity to the Coastal Georgia area, he has remained focused on releasing a third album within the following year.

Weekend Sessions is continuing to grow and expand through word of mouth and social media since the very beginning, as there is no hope for this festive event to come to an end any time soon. It is the hope of the Weekend Sessions creator, Bernard Rose, to eventually expand Weekend Sessions to the point that it reaches festival capacity and becomes a local festival for the Hinesville, Georgia local community. Many concert goers have been to more than one Weekend Sessions event and look forward to the ones to come in the future, “I just want to emphasis that this event was class, class, class. If you want to go out, really eat, dress-up, take your significant other out, or just to a really nice place, this is what you were waiting for,” says Mr. Percival Williams, this month’s headliner of the June 2018 Weekend Sessions events.

Since the start of the Weekend Sessions events there has been nothing but positive reviews and excitement surrounding the event. Creator of the Weekend Sessions festivities explains what it takes to turn an idea into an event such as Weekend Sessions, “Have a clear focus about what there is they are trying to accomplish and do, and pretty much have a strategic plan about how they’re going to accomplish it and get it done.” The importance of planning when starting any new venture is very important he further explains; not that problems and unwarranted issues won’t appear, but with proper preparation you will better be prepared for when these unexpected occurrences happen. “Plan, have something that you can be good and successful at because you have some expertise to do it.”

While Rose plans to continue to expand the Weekend Sessions platform, he does so with the community in mind. At each and every Weekend Sessions event, Rose and his team is able to allow individuals throughout the community to either sponsor the entire event, or showcase their goods and services by being a part of the vendors’ selection. Vendor tables allow for local entrepreneurs, as well as artist who participate in the Weekend Sessions event the ability to sell items from their business. Those who are interested in becoming a vendor or a sponsor of this event are asked to reach out directly to the Weekend Sessions team at (912)484-6320 for more information. It is very important to continue to have this event in Hinesville and allow it room to grow says Rose. Recently, Rose and his Weekend Sessions team have decided to branch out and incorporate sponsors for each and every Weekend Sessions event. The benefits of having businesses and individuals throughout the community shows just how much music can be a pioneer to banding this rich community together for an event that benefits the entire county.

The Weekend Sessions festivities don’t end here, continue to be a part of the Weekend Sessions lineup by staying connected with the Weekend Sessions Facebook page.
