I Am Me, We Are Us!

I am Brittany Michelle (Lane) Fulton born with a Christian upbringing instilled by my mom and grandmother. My inquisitive mind led me as a one year old to seize my grandmother’s (Gamma’s) study Bible and begin to turn each page as if I knew what it entailed.

Later my mother invested in my private Christian schooling at Faith Christian Academy, Southfield, Michigan, the brainchild of Bishop Keith and Pastor Deborah Butler of Word of Faith International Christian Center. where it was “Excellence Or Nothing At All.” This school birthed and nurtured exceptional attorneys, ministers, scientists, neurologists, high-tech computer gurus, entertainers, and a cadre of many elite professionals.

Being dressed in uniform five days a week gave me an exhilaration in following my mother to the mall on the weekends and some occasions during the week. Her impeccable style and taste for the best in fabric quality really exploded within me. She allowed me the opportunity to make selections of my own choice and when my selection missed the mark I was taught why and why not in the process. One key was avoiding trendy styles. I loved this invaluable time with my mom and exploring the art of fashion and her allowing me to transition into my own.

During this time of transitioning my aunt, Michelle Jefferson was one of the top professional models in the Detroit, MI and Chicago, IL areas. The top fashion designer icons such as Adolfo and Yve Saint Laurent requested her always to showcase their lines in seasonal fashion shows. I was exposed to other impeccable ventures with my aunt such as photo shoots with celebrities such as actress, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Gospel Artist, Fred Hammond, and the legendary NBA All Star, Magic Johnson in naming a few. She included hair and make-up in her repertoire making her more marketable and one of the nation’s top make-up artists featured in “W” the epitome of fashion magazines and numerous print media and TV commercials. Little did I know that my immediate family would be the catalyst to my leap of faith in fashion.

She trained me in hair and makeup and fashion photography. Thisexpanded my horizons in fashion. She provided the complete personal image in hair and make-up and I’m so grateful.

Then, there’s Dr. Brandy F. Gibson, my Gamma, Ordained Pastor,

International Speaker, Author, and Entrepreneur who marketed over twenty four international fashion and local designers in her showroom in the now defunct International Center of Apparel Design that was located in Greektown, Detroit, MI. Her invaluable marketing background in corporate and as a fashion buyer showcased for me how to develop marketability with SWOT analysis and more in building my personal brand.

Gamma, also designed fashion apparel and assisted her designers with impeccable designs for their respective clothing repertoires. She was highlighted on various TV shows, and media publications as well as working with some of the top in fashion field. Her clients consisted of Kenny Rogers, Janet Jackson, Salt N’ Pepper, LaVert, Heavy Weight Champion of the World, Michael Moorer. Her fashion commercial included the well celebrated Carol Gist, the first African American Miss America and top Detroit male model Regis Johnson.

All three, my mom, my aunt, my Gamma have instilled the legacy of fashion, style, etiquette in me and now it’s time for my dream to manifest. Their invaluable examples and expertise has catapulted me into a dream world of designing my own. I now engage and provide the same traits with my daughter Lane and my cousin Parker both are six months apart but inseparable. Thus “We” are embarking on the fashion road of fulfillment. “Behold, the dreamer cometh!” - Genesis 37:19
