My Source of Inspiration & Style

While I serve as an inspiration to many women with my fashion-forward tips and healthy lifestyle, my mother, is my biggest admiration and the woman who inspired and continues to inspire me. Sue Wade, my mother, founded Wade College in Dallas, Texas in 1962. Her interest for fashion was sparked at a young age of 15-years-old when she was working for a department store while also attending high school. Wade not only began modeling for the store, but also became a buyer for the store and was responsible for choosing products that were sold in the store.

When Wade was 20, she became a model for Neiman Marcus and taught other young girls how to model. In the year 1962, Wade founded Miss Wade’s Fashion Merchandising College which would later be known as Wade College in Dallas, Texas. She began with just $1500 and not once did Wade have to loan or borrow money. She served as an inspiration to women especially her daughter’s love for fashion through her eagerness to spread her knowledge and passion.

Wade College has expanded its degree programs over the years to graphic design, interior design, fashion design, and merchandising and marketing management. Not only has Wade come so far in building a community where women can learn from other women, but she has been accredited for her accomplishments in both the fashion and education industries with a Lifetime Achievement Award from Fashion Group International.
