Kayonne Natalie

If you don't make your own dreams a reality someone else will hire you to theirs one- unknown

Ms. Kayonne Natalie



Everyone in this day and age wants to own some sort of business. Whether it is cloths, cosmetics, accessories, etc. The idea of being ones own boss is the ideal dream for every individual but the truth of the matter is not everyone possesses "The Boss" mentality. It takes more then just want and desire to lead the vision. Hard work, determination, and having the ability to take set backs, learn from them and move forward is just a few more characteristics required to handle the job. 1stClassLadies had the pleasure to not only meet someone who obtain those qualities but got to see her work first hand and we must say Ms. Kayonne Natalie is on her way up and she is not stopping to until she has reached the top!

Whats the 411... Kayonne Natalie is a 29 year old Brooklyn born & raised Young lady who is more then just a pretty face. Kayonne Natalie is a smart sophisticated college graduate who started her life out as a case worker. When that didn't work out she began her master's program in mental health but that was not the path Kayonne wanted to lead. She felt as though she was not living her life to the fullest and felt it was time for change. It wasn't until stumbling into a trimming store that the vision came to her. After buying a few materials, Kayonne went home, custom made some evening gloves and tested out her finished product at church that Sunday morning. After the overwhelming complements received after church its was a no brainer what she was destined to do. She was to lead her own company and the proof is in her work. She is the founder of Kayonne Natalie company and has been designing accessories since January 2012. The vision for work was inspired by the 1920's-1950's era with a twist of her personality. During that time the women which were very elegant and mature dressed very classy with gloves, headbands, the works. all of Kayonne's products are handmade and gives you the feel of the time period but still very modern. Nothing is done without her knowledge as even her packaging supplies are signed off  by her.

No dream is just handed to a person on a silver platter. You have to overcome some serious challenges to make it a reality. We are talking mental, physical and emotional barriers that at one point makes a person want to give up and never look back. Kayonne is no exception- she has been there and then some. It became all work and  no play for her. Both family as well as friends became second and career moves had to come first. She had to work hard to see results. When it got to hard, giving was in the cards but NEVER an option. Go hard or go home for Kayonne simply meant just go hard! "keep pushing and you shall reap the benefits of you labor."


This girl not only talented in one field either! Kayonne  is also the founder/instructor of the Fashion Freedom Workshop established in January 2013. This workshop allows her to provide an outlet for troubled teens from a state facility ages 14-18 years of age.  The motto of Fashion Freedom is “to explore their individuality and creativity through fashion.” She hopes to one day extend the workshops to younger children. In addition. Did we mention she does her own wardrobe and hair styling. Can you say "Jack Of All Trades?!?!?!?"
Inspirations??? For Kayonne its her grandmother who was her everything supporting her in all her life's endeavors. For a more celebrity like inspirational woman one was not easy. Women like Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey and Yandy Smith just to name a few. Women who wanted something and went after no matter how big or small.- making their own path and not looking back.
