I met with Batsheva Hay

There is an amazing woman named Batsheva Hay, and she is a talented and cool fashion designer that makes exquisite clothes. Today, I was at her studio because my mother is modeling for her fashion show next Tuesday! So I took the courage and guts to ask Batsheva a few questions. I first asked her: why did she start her clothing line? And she said that she actually never really thought of being fashion designer when she was younger. She used to make clothes as just a gift for her and her friends, then her friends said that she was so talented and posted her clothes on Instagram, and beautiful Batsheva became famous for her work. So that’s when she thought “Oh I should be a fashion designer’’ and then became very well known. Then I asked her what the purpose of her brand was, and she answered that she wanted her clothes to feel or look unique on people who wear them or who catch the eye of someone. And clearly her clothes catch a lot of eyes! Another question I asked was: did she ever plan on being a fashion designer? She replied before she became what she is today, she was a lawyer, but after a few years she did not want to be a lawyer anymore and wanted to become a writer. But then she asked my mother {Anja Tyson!} for some advice about how to run a business and at the time my mother knew almost every step of running a business {she still does}. She told me a very interesting fact: doing fashion and making clothes was just one option of what she really wanted to do! It was very very interesting to hear from her. She said that some people thought that her business was a weird idea but that did not stop her from succeeding. The last thing she said was that her daughter Ruth’s friends thought that Batsheva dressed wacky and weird and then that made her feel that maybe she was an embarrassing mom. I said that she was an amazing mom and that she dresses so cool and sophisticated like my mom and that whole conversation just made me feel so happy and powerful.
