​

GROWING UP IN A SMALL TEXAS TOWN SOUTH OF FORT WORTH, MEAGAN HAS PAVED HER WAY THROUGH THE FASHION INDUSTRY. AS A YOUNG GIRL, SHE WAS CONSTANTLY SKETCHING DRESSES AND BUYING THRIFT STORE CLOTHING TO CUT AND REMAKE INTO SOMETHING UNIQUE AND BEAUTIFUL. SHE MADE HER DREAM INTO A REALITY AND GRADUATED FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS WITH HER BFA IN FASHION DESIGN. MEAGAN STARTED GAINING HER LOVE FOR CUSTOM FIT AND HIGH COUTURE SEWING BY WORKING AS AN INTERN IN SCHOOL.
