Marvalyn’s love story with sewing and fashion began at an extremely young each. Her professional training and expertise spans numerous schools and institutions in her native country of Jamaica, where she advanced her skills in sewing, patternmaking, men’s and women’s tailoring, and machine embroidery; while also supplying her own designs/creations to a local department store. After moving to the United States, Richards enrolled at the Fashion Institute of Technology (F.I.T.) in New York City, where she took courses towards certificates in both patternmaking and ladies tailoring. In addition to serving her own clients, Richards has also worked as a tailor for Lords of Tailoring in Brooklyn, NY. She is passionate about training the next generation of tailors and designers.
