Fashionable Fun: San Francisco

About Me

Michele Gates: I was raised around culture and fashion. The youngest in my family of four stylish sisters, I'm Vietnamese, Chinese, English and French. I have worked within the fashion industry for twelve years and switched to philanthropic work for the past two years. My real passion in life is within the fashion industry. I enjoy the camaraderie, feeling of success, and general relief felt by designers and their development team when a new collection is delivered. Plus, nothing else quite stops me in my tracks and takes my breath away like a beautiful dress or stunning pair of shoes. I appreciate fashion explored. I think style comes from within and is expressed in how we act and what we wear.
