A Seattle woman is putting her designs to the test on the new show “Fashion Star.”
Lizzie Parker is a former Microsoft employee who left that career behind to pursue her passion for fashion.
“I’m so excited to be a part of NBC Fashion Star,” writes Parker on her blog at the show’s website. “For me, it really shows that you can have a second career. As a former high techie who started my business in a garage, national television exposure like this means I must be doing something right.”
When in Seattle, Parker sells her designs at her Lizzie Parker boutique in Issaquah, and serves at Executive Creative Director for Seattle’s FASHION FIRST which holds an annual local charity fashion show.
Parker is competing against 13 other designers for her collection to make it onto the shelves of Macy’s, Saks and H & M. The first episode aired Tuesday night on NBC.
Parker says she’s excited for the opportunity to show America what she can do on the show. Follow Parker’s progress on her show blog.
