Since even the most experienced fashion designers can sometimes crumble under pressure, what matters most is creativity — and that’s precisely what Keiandrea “K” Daniels brings to the table. She actually proved this much in her stint on Hulu’s ‘Dress My Tour,’ wherein she not only won an opportunity to dress Jojo Siwa, Toni Braxton, and Jessie Decker but also won the entire thing. In other words, she walked away with more than just the winning cash prize of $100,000, enabling her to kickstart the life she has always envisioned for herself in more ways than one.
K Daniels’ Family Has Always Supported Her Ventures
Having grown up in a single-parent household alongside just her mother, younger brother, and little sister in Dallas, Texas, K understood the meaning of hard work and integrity at an early age. Therefore, she began dedicating every bit of herself to pursue a career in fashion the minute she realized she had a passion for the same, only for her entire family to stand by her side at all turns. It thus comes as no surprise they are her source of motivation, her inspiration, and her grounding force, enabling her to shine without letting any outside factors affect her or her innovation.
It turns out K has tried or wanted to quit the fashion industry several times over the years, the last being in 2017, but an uncle somehow convinced her not to, and she couldn’t be more grateful. “He basically felt like I needed to keep going and gave me a couple of scriptures that day to meditate on,” she candidly told Ebony magazine recently. “From then on, I was like, ‘Okay, I’m not gonna quit anymore. I’m just going to keep going. And what happens, happens.'” Then there’s the fact this designer genuinely wants to build a family of her own one day — a partner, some children, plus a stable home — but until then, she seems perfectly content to thrive for the family she already has.
K Daniels is an Entrepreneur Through and Through
According to K’s own accounts, she grew up doing hair but ended up thinking the best path for her would be as a stylist, resulting in her learning to sew while also letting innovation flow. “I went to a magnet school that had a fashion program…,” she said. “I just started spending time with my mentor after school, learning the basics. I took that and ran with it from there.” She then went on to earn a Business Management & Merchandising degree from the University of Texas, just to then dive headfirst into the world she was always so fascinated by — in other words, she has been actively involved in the industry since 2011.
Nevertheless, the truth is K is a woman of many hats — apart from being a wholly committed fashion designer, she is also an entrepreneur with several different brands/companies under her name. She is actually the brains behind a local Dallas seafood restaurant by the name of Sauseeaa Seafood & More Sauce, which offers both an incredible array of sauces as well as ready-made boils. As if that’s not enough, she even has a hair oil company called The Living Oil, plus her own personal YouTube channel where she gives us a peek into the behind-the-scenes of her work.
Then there’s K’s primary career as a celebrity fashion designer with her own brand, KDaniels Designs, which she officially launched in 2020 upon garnering some much-needed experience. She admittedly specializes in creating couture jaw-dropping “WOW” moment pieces for clients across the globe, especially as she loves to blend everything a bit out there — volume, print, and color. The truth is, she may just be finding her mark at the moment, but she is definitely on the right track considering how she has already managed to dress some big names like Alesha Dixon, Ari Lenox, Juan Pazurita, KMichelle, Mimi Faust, Paris Hilton, plus many others.
K Daniels is a Compassionate Woman and a Loving Pet Mom
Although K appears to be single at the moment, she also seems to be extremely fulfilled considering everything else she has going on for herself, both personally as well as privately. Aside from her businesses, she has her family, a solid support system comprising friends, a keen interest in home decor, an adorable dog, and her faith — she is a devout Christian with a deep relationship with God. As if that’s not enough, she even dedicates every bit of her free time to giving back to society by helping out the homeless and simply focusing on bettering herself in every area.
