Vernice Holmes, based in Norwalk, CT, epitomizes creativity, resilience and community spirit through her roles as a visionary, artist, and fashion designer. Vernice is the creative force behind the brand Sixty by Vernice, she has carved a niche in the world of fashion and art that is both bold and inspiring.

Her journey began in the Bronx, N.Y. where as a "Sparkly, Jewish, Christian, Black White Girl," the experience of being teased for her biracial identity and colorful outfits, she found solace and self-expression in sketching diverse 'fashion girls' of all shades, shapes and sizes on any surface available. These early artistic endeavors laid the foundation for her artistic journey, which emphasizes embracing diversity, individuality and overcoming challenges with authenticity.

Vernice's creative journey as a fashion designer and multimedia artist has been rich and wide-ranging, spanning continents from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea to Europe and India embracing a wide array of materials and inspirations. She has designed for esteemed retailers like Macy’s, Nordstrom, Dillard’s, and Neiman Marcus, as well as various specialty store chains across the United States. Her artistic expression is characterized by a penchant for incorporating an eclectic mix of embellishments and fabrics into her designs. From jewels, sequins, and beads to Swarovski crystals, lipstick, eyelashes, and scented oils, Vernice's creations are a fusion of textures and elements that transcend traditional boundaries. Her artistry extends beyond conventional canvases, seamlessly blending into apparel and accessories, where shimmering metallics and arte find their place alongside luxurious fabrics. Through her work, Vernice continuously explores and redefines the intersection of fashion and art, showcasing a unique vision that captivates and sparks conversation.

Sixty by Vernice represents more than just fashion; it's a testament to being true to yourself, being persistent and defying the ageism lies. Vernice's collection, originating from her canvas art, doodles, and illustrations, serve as vibrant expressions of wearable art. They reflect her personal journey embracing her God-given talents to inspire others. Each piece not only challenges insecurities but also encourages self-expression and celebrates the beauty of uniqueness. By incorporating skin-friendly & recycled fabrics with sustainability principles, Vernice infuses her creations with purpose, advocating for both personal empowerment and environmental responsibility.

For over two decades, Vernice has been a catalyst for artistic expression and community engagement through her thematic fashion show productions. These events not only showcase local talent but also raise awareness and vital funds for various nonprofits and charitable causes. Her dedication to the arts extends beyond her brand; she actively inspires others to pursue their dreams and embrace their individuality through creativity.
