About the Designer
Vernice
“As a little girl, I sketched ‘ Fashion Girls’ of all shapes, shades, and sizes. I’m walking in my dreams of creating art & fashion to inspire women & girls to create a ‘Style that endures Forever… Their Own!’ I love seeing my inspirational & empowering Arte come to life through statement style pieces. Every garment is created from my heart, not just an item of clothing but a unique ‘Masterpiece for the Soul.’ I enjoy making dreamcoats come true! Cheers to sustainable statement style, conscious craftsmanship, and limitless creativity.”
As an accomplished fashion designer and multimedia artist, Vernice has worked with prominent retailers such as Macy’s, Nordstrom, Dillard’s, Neiman Marcus, and several specialty store chains across the country. Her creative journey has taken her from Europe to the Far East, exploring the newest trends and styles to curate her own artisan collections. In her art, Vernice has a fondness for incorporating a diverse range of embellishments and fabrics, including jewels, sequins, beads, Swarovski crystals, lipstick, eyelashes, flowers, silks, scented oils, shimmering metallics, and glitter. Her art is not limited to canvas but extends to various mediums, including apparel and accessories.
From 6 TO 60ISH SIXTY, Vernice’s brand, draws inspiration from her childhood to her womanhood. She fondly recalls “painting on her clothes,” a fun experience supported by her mother’s blessing to express her creativity freely. Throughout the decades, Vernice has transformed art into wearable apparel, never giving up on her dream to design artistic garments that cater to women’s diverse lifestyles and body shapes, prioritizing individual style over following trends and rules.
@Circa 1980 Vernice worked as a Fashion Designer in NYC for 20 years. In 2000, she ventured into hand-painted art & illustrations on jeans, jackets, tees, and dresses. In 2021, she printed her Fashion Arte on Fabric to create Sustainable Statement Style Arte to Wear under the brand Sixty by Vernice. This brand represents a fusion of art and fashion, curated visions intertwined with thread and fabric.
Vernice’s passion for her dreams has never wavered, and she hopes that Sixty inspires others to pursue what they love. Her Arte-to-Wear collection features elegant, powerful art derived from her canvas paintings and hand-sketched illustrations. As you walk in your power, styled to slay in all sizes and silhouettes, her garments offer a dramatic flow. The self-tie feature right below the waist allows you to personalize your look: gather for a more fitted appearance, tie loosely for a relaxed feel, or wear it open for a distinctive touch. Embrace your new season with Vernice’s creations and breathe life into your style.
