The brand of Ashley Noxolo experienced its growth almost immediately with vintage clothing reconstruction that led to the creative working some brand magic with heels, turning them into an original, hand-crafted collectible fashion piece. In the beginning, there was Ashley Hart Shoe Designs, the first and only Mississippi-based shoe designer to display a collection for New York Fashion Week in 2011. The brand was also the official sponsor for Celebrity Designer Stevie Boi’s “CoExist” collection, which debuted at Bryant Park Hotel in Manhattan, completing two shows for NYFW 2011. Ashley was afforded the opportunity due to her innovative creations of hand-painted and jeweled shoes. With designs ranging from a variety of colors, mediums, and designs, Ashley Hart Shoes Designs has evolved into its own brand, Ashley Noxolo. Passionate about redefining fashion in an individualistic way is why this brand has remained attached to originality and personality when designing for clients.
Born and raised in Mississippi, where fashion can seem scarce, Ashley Noxolo’s designs have made room for clients to create the fashion they desire instead of relying on repeated patterns found in the world of retail. Ashley Noxolo is a fashion curator and stylist that specializes in custom shoes and apparel designs. At the start of her fashion design career, she explored the reconstruction of apparel that led to the customization of shoes. Understanding fashion was the career path she wanted to pursue, the designer took things further and launched her first fashion show “The Innovation” in 2011, the year everything began to bloom. Through the brand’s growth, her designs have been featured in several mainstream Fashion Shows. Female rapper Lola Monroe was the first artist to be pictured in Ashley Hart Shoe Designs for her “Run The World,” (2011) music video, styled by Celebrity Fashion Stylist Stevie Boi.
Following a collaboration shoot with Celebrity Fashion Stylist Kollin Carter for female rapper Lola Monroe, in 2013, the designer became a finalist for Belk’s Southern Designer Showcase of the South. Several collections have been released over the course of ten years, which include, “Ginger and Penelope,” “Pink Matter,” and “Noxo Couture.” In 2015, the designer began experimenting with painting denim jeans and other textiles, which plays a significant role in her SS21 Collection. Now presently preparing for her second trip to NYFW ten years later, the designer has evolved at her own pace still maintaining her level of passion for fashion and designing.
