GETTING LAWLESS WITH<br />
cham<br />
BOSS MAGAZINE<br />
22<br />
pieces, she posted them anyway and<br />
sure enough, 90% of her followers fell<br />
in love with her sense of style. When<br />
asked what her inspiration was she said,<br />
“Everything inspires me...I look at other<br />
people in the same industry, see what<br />
they’re up to,<br />
and [wonder]<br />
how I can do<br />
better than<br />
them.”<br />
Knowing<br />
that her<br />
“bright and<br />
tight” outfits<br />
were too<br />
much for her<br />
city as she felt that Toronto’s style was<br />
earthier than desired, Lue took a leap<br />
of faith and moved to Miami, Florida.<br />
Ironically enough, the theme of her<br />
latest collection is Miami: fun, crazy<br />
and wild - it seems fitting. The hard<br />
work, dedication, and stick-to-itiveness<br />
seen in her growing collection paid off<br />
as her attire caught the eyes of many<br />
people all over the world including<br />
reality TV show stars as well as actors<br />
who she later created outfits for. To<br />
keep up with demand, Lue says, “is a<br />
lot of work; but it is a work in progress.”<br />
Malaika Lue is currently working on<br />
opening up a boutique in South Beach,<br />
Miami then later gracing major cities<br />
within the United States with more<br />
boutiques. Malaika Lue encourages the<br />
up and coming designers and those<br />
pursuing their dreams to never give up<br />
and don’t be a quitter, “When things<br />
get tough, you keep going. Don’t be<br />
afraid because [once upon a time] that<br />
was me.”<br />
Knowing that her “bright and tight” outfits were too much<br />
for her city as she felt that Toronto’s style was earthier<br />
than desired, Lue took a leap of faith and moved to Miami,<br />
Florida. Ironically enough, the theme of her latest collection is<br />
Miami: fun, crazy and wild - it seems fitting.<br />
Now at the<br />
age of 22,<br />
and with<br />
one year of<br />
experience<br />
under her<br />
belt, Lue<br />
has proven<br />
herself to<br />
be more<br />
than just the average young fashion<br />
designer. She has created a collection<br />
that not only represents her party girl<br />
persona of being edgy, chic, and extra,<br />
but her pieces allow her clientele to<br />
feel the same way.<br />
