You ever get one of those iPhone memory videos that stop you in your tracks? Here’s the video highlighting February 17th over the years and it offered me a lot of perspective. Apparently today was the day that I took the initial leap of faith by leaving America to stay in the UK for the first time. I had just graduated fashion school during the pandemic and I created a make shift semester abroad for 3 months once travel restrictions lifted. I talked about wanting this experience for over a decade and I finally made it happen. That semester made me decide to move to the UK. A year and a half later fashion design allowed me to move here on a global talent visa. It’s been a tough but beautiful journey. I did my first London Fashion Week show February of 2024. In 2025 I made friends and created formal wedding attire for my friend Anita. I’m definitely in a transition period and it can often times feel hard. However, this was a little reminder about how staying true to my love for fashion had created a way for me. It may not always look like money and accolades, but I am definitely blessed. I wonder how 2022 Tiffany would feel if she knew about 2025 Tiffany 🥺 I think my spirit knew. That’s why it held onto the dream of coming to the UK since my first visit as a 15 year old. Hopefully 2026 version will make her proud as I open my online Etsy shop this month 😉
