We had the good fortune of connecting with RayeAsia Bovian and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi RayeAsia, what are you inspired by?
I am inspired by these three words, “Lights, Camera, Action”. All things glamour motivates me. I would like my brand to be the first choice of “all things star studded”. I will design for Beyoncé, JELENA KARLEUŠA, etc.
   

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I am a fashion designer. I think what set me apart was that I set a “high” bar for myself. I wanted to be world reknown. I have had a billboard in Time Square around New Years. I won luxury designer of the year. I get invites from Italy and Paris. My biggest challenge is my own thoughts. I have learned that any dream can come true. I want the world to know that my brand was just an idea that came to life. My desire is to apart of the LVMH group. One day I would love to tell the world how my brand was an idea and now I am in the same community as Louis Vuitton, Moet and Hennessy.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I would take my best friend to Key Biscayne. Everyone that goes to Miami is excited about South Beach, however there are many little nooks for a great time. We would go shopping at Bal Harbour, Brunch at Big Pink, and definitely dinner on 79th Street for Fried Conch. I am a risk taker so we would definitely go to Hard Rock for fun and live shows. Miami also has a lot of educational venues: Parrot Jungle, Monkey Jungle (where the humans are in cages), Vizcaya, Planetarium and Seaworld.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My husband Kenon Bovian. Every single time, I want to give up or become complacent, my husband motivates me to be great.
