Nearly a half-century ago, Edessa Meek Dixon taught her young granddaughter, Lynne how to sew.  This is a large reason why Lynne Dixon Speller completed a B.S. in Interior Design and Architectural Planning as well as a M.S. in Textiles and Clothing. More importantly it led to something bigger than Lynne and Edessa.

A small group of administrative and educational professionals are combining their collective knowledge and experience to develop and launch a college of apparel design and fashion marketing.  Named to honor the memory of Lynne’s grandmother, Edessa School of Fashion will be located in an urban setting in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Edessa’s mission is to encourage a diverse body of motivated students to enhance their creative skills through the use of design, experience, and community engagement. 

Edessa Meek Dixon, a pioneering African American woman, graduated with a degree in home economics from Tuskegee Institute on May 27, 1920, despite the obstacles and societal norms of the day. Edessa set an example of perseverance and achievement.  She inspired her granddaughter and hundreds of young people to pursue their career passions.  

Edessa’s founders believe apparel design and marketing students can thrive with a bachelor's degree that allows them to select an area of concentration in their field of study, rather than a generic, overall degree. Edessa offers the opportunity to specialize within the field.

Vato formerly known as Carlos M. Vergara Jr. was born June 3rd, 1991 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Vato started his journey as a fashion influencer in 2012. Not knowing much, but being a self-starter and risk-taker, he utilized the little resources he had to bring his vision to life. The mentors and role models around him equipped him with the proper skills/tools to communicate, develop, and execute to the best of his ability for exceptional results. Vato feels like an advocate for fashion and style meaning that 'the appearance' is important.
