Upcoming Fashion Designer -- P3 Designs Pursue Purpose Passionately
February 04, 2007 by
I have turned into my mother. No woman wants to hear that because she always thinks she's going to be so different, but I've realized that I'm not an exception. My mother is a shopaholic and she's passed that habit down to me. The only difference is that I'm much pickier. When I read 
220 Communications' bulletin about P3 clothing on my MySpace page, I had to check it out. I thought I'd maybe like a shirt or two, but I didn't expect to pretty much like everything on the whole site. I filled up on Christmas gifts and can't even set foot in Kreative Souls boutique unless I'm ready to spend money. So how did Tiffany Tapley, creator of P3 clothing, do it?
1. Before the business competition at your church, in which you were a 2004 finalist, were you already thinking of doing clothing design, or what career were you interested in?
Before the competition, I was always interested in pursuing business. I loved fashion, inspiration, and business, and this was a great opportunity to integrate all of my passion into a business.
2. Please tell me the motive behind your signature logos like "Love Life," "Do What U Love," and "Pursue Purpose Passionately."
I worked as a Business Analyst for four years and was one of those people who dreamed of being creative and following my dreams as an entrepreneur. I also was surrounded by co-workers who were so talented and we would talk about what we would do if we didn't have a 9 to 5. So P3's signature logos were created to encourage others to step out on faith and explore other options.
3. Was it very difficult to break out into the public eye with your new clothing line? Who helped you market your materials in the process?
Actually it hasn't been as tough as I thought. I think it depends on your passion and how much you believe in your business. If you truly believe in it the media and your target market will be your best supporters.
4. Do you design and make your clothes? How does the process work for getting an item to completion?
I actually have a team of people who help in the creative and development process and we work together to make sure we deliver a great product for our loyal customers.
