Hustle & Sew: Phylicia Ellis Can Dress Halle Berry And Your Bridal Party (PHOTOS)

Whether on the internationally known level or the level of the emerging, GlobalGrind is all about promoting the grind behind the business.

The fashion industry is full of designers on the rise that have begun to make their presence known. Hustle & Sew takes a look at the struggle, the hustle and the bustle behind some of the hottest up-and-comers in fashion design. 

Phylicia Ellis (pictured above), who may very well design Halle Berry's next remarkable gown and your wedding dress, probably knows that hustle like the back of her hand. The beauty responsible for Weddings by Phylicia Ellis came from the Bahamas to the States on her own to pursue a dream of having an enjoyable career that could bring her happiness everyday. As a result, we're on the look out for her edgy and sophisticated work in the midst of the summer wedding season.

Being forced into her start at the tender age of 6 through her mom's sewing school, Zig Zag Sewing Adventures, Phylicia wasn't always in love with sewing and fashion. In fact, at the onset of her career as a seamstress, she hated it. But after awhile behind the machine, sewing began to grow on her and she realized that she had a thirst for fashion.

 Ms. Ellis didn't know at that time that she would end up bringing bridal wear to the world. After outfitting her sister's entire bridal party, however, she now knows this is a market she can truly satisfy in the U.S., Bahamas and worldwide. We had a chance to chat it up with Phylicia, see her latest work and find out how she got to this stage in her life and in fashion. Here's the scoop:

Phylicia Ellis: What would I be doing?

No clue, fashion is the only answer?

It would definitely be something along the creative line like art.
