Rhonda Michelle Franks is the owner and lead designer of Michelle Divine Boutique. Rhonda is a self taught designer who found her love for fashion at the young age of 9 years old watching her aunt Shirley design and construct garments for family , friends and church members. In 2006 she began designing for friends in high school. She partnered with her aunt to bring her own prom dress design to life. Upon graduating high school Rhonda attended the Art Institute of NYC for Fashion Design and Berkeley College for Fashion Merchandising and Management. Rhonda later landed side jobs as a stylist for various clients such as independent artist Imani Gooden and award-winning author Alexander Rutherford and a part-time in-house stylist position at Pretti Ink Media Group, while working full time at H&M as a visual merchandiser. Having a hard-time breaking onto the fashion scene as a designer, Rhonda refused to give up and let her vision fall by the wayside. In 2013 she began to create and host her own fashion shows initially giving platform to other designers to showcase their work while working as a stylist. In 2016 Rhonda hosted her second fashion show launching her very first capsule collection, the "Minimalist Luxe" collection for Michelle Divine. With the show's success and gaining popularity with many individual boutiques, independent magazines and photographers Rhonda pressed forward to birth Michelle Divine Boutique. Today Rhonda continues to connect with the world through creating audacious and timeless designs.
