Victoria Tik
A native Californian, Victoria Tik, attended
college at the University of California, Berkeley.
Upon her graduation in 2007, Victoria moved to San
Francisco to begin a career in corporate advertising.
The need to move on a near daily basis from her advertising
office during the day, to photo shoots and other fashion-related
events by night, led Victoria to search for the perfect frock,
one that could do double duty. After countless failed trips and
fruitless hours of online scouring, Victoria decided to make her
own - a simple jersey dress that was both comfortable and fashion
forward.
In 2009, Victoria launched FROCK L.A. by Victoria Tik to include
a small collection of fashionable basics.. By incorporating
sustainable fabrics, classic cuts and elements of drama, FROCK
gave modern women the ability to believe comfort can be beautiful
and responsible. Through FROCK, Victoria incorporates her love of
vintage fashion and modern art into sleek and sexy designs that
embrace the female form. She is inspired by the women in her life,
naming each piece after someone special and empowering.

Angela Du
With a mother who designs wedding gowns and a
father who is a photographer, it's no wonder that
Angela Du's true calling would be in some type of
art. Her parents say it all started around the age
of three when she accidentally sewed a piece of fabric
to the shirt she was wearing while playing in her parent's
wedding studio. With influences by the "go green" movement,
this tiny little Asian girl has created a big fashion
statement.
Although she stumbled into the art purely by default
and with no formal training, Angela is now combining her
natural born talent in crafts and design to create a one-of-
a-kind "fashion art" label called INKD THREAD. This young
fashion artist hopes to raise awareness for social change
and conserving Mother Nature's resources along with inspiring
people with the message that anything is possible with a glue
gun and a little imagination.

Danh Ta is a designer born in Thailand to a

for, and attention to, the details. The result is a clothing line
which is, in his words, "subtle, sensuous and chic." The Danh Ta A/W
2014-15 Collection will be on the runway for Fashion Week San Diego
