Taking Over the World of Formal Wear One Dress at a Time

Wayne State alum, Melita Rakovic is meticulous when it comes to her designs and every stitch is personal.  The siren seamstress took a moment to chat with me about what else, fashion?  Enjoy!

Chicgeek323:  How long have you been sewing?

Melita Rakovic:  I have been sewing now for about 8 years.

CG323:  What is your earliest memory of sewing?

MR:  I would have to say when I was about 15, I bought my first sewing pattern and tried to sew a corset not knowing that is one of the more complicated pieces to assemble. Didn’t turn out the best but I still kept it as memory!

CG323:   Do you find that you have more freedom in designing dresses and skirts than pants?

MR:  I would say skirts because I think pants are more tailored.  Plus I enjoy making dresses and formal wear in general!

CG323:  Where do you see your brand in the next 5 years?

MR:  I am hoping in 5 years my brand will be known worldwide.  A girl can dream right? 

CG323:  You have a distinct eye when it comes to your designs.  Where do you find inspiration?

MR:  When designing, I get inspired with color, shape, and texture.  My inspiration comes from other big designers such as Versace, Zuhair Murad or just anything that has a concentration on details. 

CG323:  What makes you stand out from other dress designers like Tadashi Shoji and Donna Ricco?

MR:  Melita Rakovic Designs focus on being unique and standing out.  My main focus on fit and design, combined with detail for elegance, result in a line that reflect the kind of woman I want everyone to feel while wearing my dress…elegant, glamorous, strong, sexy, and fearless.

CG323:  Are there any plans to design pants, swimwear and other collections?  Maybe menswear?

MR:  Possibly menswear and children’s.

CG323:  What advice would you give to a designer that is starting his or her own business and what have you learned for yourself?

MR:   Write your goal on a piece paper and work daily towards that goal!

CG323:   Are you on any other forms of social media and how can people contact you?
