D'An Harrold was born in Richmond, Va. and raised in Northern Va. She started sewing at the age of 12yrs old. She would dress up in her mother’s clothes and come up with designs with her paper dolls. She found it easier to dress the way she wanted by turning her ‘hand me downs’ into fashionable outfits. She knew then that Fashion was calling. She seeks inspiration from everything. A smell, taste, a feeling…nature, people, elements- EVERYTHING!!! Her goal is to be in a place where she can design and style clients all over the world full time. She gets a thrill out of seeing how a new outfit can change a person’s mindset about themselves. She wants to be a part of that mental, physical- even spiritual transformation that fashion brings out of someone. For her, it’s not about the money or fame but the connection! Every time someone puts on a Model Haven design they can become who they truly want to be. Through fashion she can connect with the world one piece at a time.
