Treena Marie Veal, visionary designer of Treena Marie Collection (TMC), will debut her flagship brand at The Bomb Fashion Show during New York Fashion Week. This will be the first time in over a decade that Treena will present a complete collection exclusively for TMC. Though she has created custom designs for friends and family over the years, this show holds special meaning for her to present designs that come from the heart.
“I want to inspire young fashion entrepreneurs who are just starting their careers in the industry. Building a brand takes time but stay focused and hard work will pay off. Never give up on your dreams. I have been on this journey for a long time and this is not just a passion but a dream come true,” says Treena. “Through my brand, I strive to bring out the best in others and encourage them to chase their dreams with confidence and determination.”
A collection rooted in authenticity and innovation**
An entrepreneur with a background in both fashion and home design, Treena is increasingly known for her innovative approach to style. Her keen eye for detail and passion for creating adaptable, practical pieces have guided the Treena Marie collection to establish itself in the fashion industry. Developed with a focus on the needs of today’s professionals, the collection highlights her signature custom suiting and incorporates work and play themes that resonate with the fast-paced lifestyle of her target audience.
A journey of growth and dedication
This collection is more than just fashion; it reflects Treena’s journey as a Black-owned and funded designer who started her own company. After years of creating custom designs for friends and family, Treena presents a collection that highlights her commitment to quality, style and sustainability. A defining feature of this collection is the inclusion of signature sustainable fabrics, materials that were previously unavailable but are now proudly incorporated, symbolizing her growth and dedication to the fashion industry.
Outside of fashion, Treena has also made a name for herself in the world of home design. In her recent book, “Renovate to Elevate,” she shares the vision and attention to detail honed over years of renovating and remodeling homes. This attention to detail also translates to her approach to fashion design, seamlessly blending beauty and functionality.
An innovative sub-brand under TMC
Under the TMC umbrella, Treena has two specialized sub-brands, each with its own unique take on the intersection of work and athleisure. The first sub-brand specializes in headwear made from high-quality fabrics, featuring impeccable craftsmanship and innovative designs that seamlessly transition from the office to a more relaxed environment. The second sub-brand focuses on stylish, yet comfortable outfits, such as sweatsuits and t-shirts, offering versatility and timeless style. These options perfectly complement suits, embodying a balance between comfort and sophistication.
I’m honored to be a part of a platform that celebrates black designers.
Additionally, Treena is incredibly honored to be part of an incredible platform for Black designers founded by visionary Claire Sulmers of Fashion Bomb Daily. Claire is a pioneer in eliciting and showcasing Black talent in the fashion industry.
““It’s not only an honor to be associated with a platform that nurtures and showcases young Black talent in the fashion industry, but I’m incredibly excited to be a part of it.” Trina says.
A multifaceted career spanning fashion and design
In 2013, Trina relocated from Atlanta to Los Angeles to begin a new chapter in her career, but she continues to live a bi-coastal lifestyle, maintaining a dynamic love triangle between Ohio, Atlanta, and Los Angeles while also spending time with her parents on the East Coast.
“Dreams don’t let you rest” Treena reflects on her ongoing journey and is a testament to her resilience, creativity and unwavering commitment to her passion. The Treena Marie collection is more than just a brand, it reflects her life’s work and vision, combining the best of fashion, design and entrepreneurship.
