Dolly Parton

“Since childhood, I have always had a thing for Dolly Parton. Everything about her is enchanting—her life story, her music, her look, her clothes. I imagined that one day I would design for her, and after introducing myself and sending her images of my work, it was my great privilege to do so. I not only had the opportunity to design clothing for Dolly, but also shoes—one particular design of which she has kept in her wardrobe, with various iterations, for over 20 years. Dolly is more than special. She has been a shining, sparkling beacon of light and love to not only me, but to millions of fans for decades, and is shining stronger than ever, today.” -SL
