“when we were starting out in Destiny’s child, high – end labels didn’t really want to dress four black, country, curvy girls – and we couldn’t afford designer dresses and couture. My mother was rejected from every showroom in Newyork, but like my grandmother, she used her talent and creativity to give her children her dreams. My mother and my uncle Johnny, God rest his soul, designed all of our first costumes and made each piece by hand, individually sewing hundreds of crystals and pearls, putting so much passion and love into every small detail. And when I wore the clothes I felt like Khaleesi. It was so much deeper than any brand name”. – Beyonce.
