For me success is validating my artistry through having people buy pieces I have created and recognize the workmanship and art in these pieces. My company Neena Zeve Designs specializes in one-of-a-kind fashion pieces for women which are handmade. Using fabrics such as wool and silk as well as using traditional techniques such as beading and smocking to enhance the garments. Another important part of success for me is getting recognition by the industry. At the moment I have achieved that by being invited to join the collective at The Canvas a store at the South Street Seaport which focuses on sustainability. My collection is now at The Canvas and selling well, a tribute to the appeal of my outerwear and evening wear to women from New York and around the world.
