​WOMEN PARTNERING FOR A PURPOSE

YOUNG AMBASSADOR

ENTREPRENEUR 

Brittnay "LaBrea" is a fashion visionary with a natural talent for style that's as rare as a diamond in a coal mine. Hailing from St. Louis, her love for fashion and design began at a young age, inspired by her mother's impeccable dress suits and her grandmother's vintage jewelry. Fashion became her way of communicating her unique personality without uttering a single word, and soon it became clear that it was her calling in life. During her high school years, she honed her craft by creating stunning pieces of clothing in her sewing class, and she wowed audiences with her first collection at the school's fashion show. Fuelled by her passion for fashion, Brittnay went on to study Fashion Merchandising and Entrepreneurship in college, acquiring the knowledge and skills she needed to take the industry by storm. 
In 2012, Brittnay moved to Los Angeles by the grace of God and established LaBreaB Stylehouse & Boutique, a fashion haven for the city's trendiest residents. As the CEO, Owner, Designer, and Merchandiser, she scours the globe for rare and unique pieces, hand-picking every item that graces her boutique's shelves. Her exquisite taste and unparalleled eye for detail have made her brand a favorite of LA's elite, and she's been featured in numerous showrooms, vendor events, and pop-up shops. 
Brittnay is not content with just building her fashion empire, though. As a mother, she is dedicated to inspiring her daughters to follow in her entrepreneurial footsteps, and she is a passionate advocate for women in business. She offers coaching and mentorship to other business owners, sharing her expertise in manufacturing, logistics, and supply chain development with anyone who will listen. 
LaBrea has curated two stunning fashion shows, showcasing her new collections to the world. But she doesn't just stay in her lane; Brittnay has helped brand and scale other businesses in e-commerce, website development, and marketing, proving that her talents extend far beyond the fashion industry. She recently opened a breathtaking showroom in downtown Los Angeles, where clients can experience LaBreaB Stylehouse first-hand, surrounded by the unique and one-of-a-kind pieces that have made her brand famous. Brittnay's impeccable eye for fashion has caught the attention of many celebrities, including Draya Michelle, Tonya Banks, James Wright Chanel, and Moniece Slaughter. She's styled fashion campaign models and even brought her mobile boutique truck to the streets, making her brand accessible to everyone. 
Brittnay's ultimate goal is to make her brand the go-to destination for mompreneurs in entertainment, providing them with the statement-making clothing and accessories that make them feel confident and unstoppable. When her customers leave her boutique feeling like they can take on the world, it's a natural high that only fuels her creativity and passion for fashion. Brittnay is a force to be reckoned with, and there's no doubt that her star will continue to rise, taking her brand to new heights of success and influence.
