Coruscate Innovations(Cynthia Akita)

Fashion – Boston

I was born in Bronx, NY, and moved to Worcester, MA a few years later. I have always been involved with the Arts, whether it was singing, dancing, sketching, and so on. I felt the need to seek out a career that would guarantee me a lot of money, but after years of contemplation, I realized that my heart was in entrepreneurship and that I could start a business. I was never taught to sew, but through experiments, I was able to figure it out, and begin my clothing line, Coruscate Innovations. I\'m proud of my achievements and I know that I have a long way to go, but steady progression is better than no progression at all. I attended college at the University of Massachusetts and spent most of my time, apart from school work, on building my craft and showcasing my pieces in shows at various colleges in New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and here in Massachusetts. With the help of RAW, I had the opportunity to show my work in Los Angeles, CA. I continue to partake in these shows with hopes of finally making it to fashion weeks all around the world.
