Introducing the Infinite Collection
To highlight my expertise and dedication to this vision of building self-esteem and confidence in women, as well as dressing for success, I often reflect on a project that remains close to my heart. In 2008, my sister Debbie Harris, and I co-founded "Designs by Karyzma", a for profit fashion venture that introduced our signature "dress for success" clothing line: The Infinite Collection. This line was established to promote a professional attire -- standard in the workplace. Each garment was designed to reflect professionalism while embracing creativity, enjoyment, empowerment and individuality. Although the momentum of the collection was paused due to a major shift in my personal life and professional career, it is a testament to the idea that dreams can be delayed but never denied. This experience continues to fuel and influence the future direction of Karyzma Kares Foundation and our work in the non-profit sector.
My "Passion for Fashion" along with my creativity, design and tailoring skills is a part of who I am. It is woven into the fabric of my being. This gift has been passed down from generation to generation as my mom, Christine Mitchell (deceased) was a designer, seamstress and a tailor along with my daughter Takeema Rutherford who recently started her LLC, Covered N' Chic. Covered N' Chic designs, tailors and provides high quality, affordable, fashionable and modest clothing and accessories for women.

“Through our founder's Dress for Success values, she gained the confidence to walk into job interviews ready to shine—inside and out.”
What began as a personal transformation became a movement. Priscilla Cooke redefined what dressing for success looks like in the workplace and in every space she occupies.
It all started in her freshmen year in high school when an upper classman approached her and said: "You're in high school now. You have to take off those tennis shoes and sweat socks and start dressing for success". That moment changed everything. From that moment on, Priscilla embraced a new vision of herself. Those words planted a seed that would grow into a lifelong mission.
By 1975, her confidence, style, and presence had so profoundly evolved that she was nominated by her peers and won the title of "Miss Vogue" in her senior year -- a foreshadowing of the impact she would one day have on countless women.
