Fuchsia
According to Troy Anderson staff writer of Los Angeles Daily News and NBIZ Magazine, Scott has always known that she wanted to own a fashion retail business and even “expressed an interest in fashion design as early as age 6”. This interest led to the future collaboration with Pope, whom Scott met seven years later at Westside High School.
At age 14 Scott teamed up with Pope to open the fashion company Fuchsia.
Six months later they released their first collection of ready-to-wear cocktail attire at a self produced runway show in Spring, Texas. Scott premiered the video footage of the fashion show on the Fuchsia official site, scoring the interest of several local media journalists. Most of Fuchsia’s early income and public interest can be attributed to this.
As webmaster of the Fuchsia online boutique, Scott has designed and created every released version to date, of the Fuchsia Official Site and East-shop located at www.FuchsiaOnline.com.
Anderson, who profiled Scott for an article on East-Commerce noted that Scott actually prefers an internet store front to a physical boutique. Scott says that the online boutique works out great, "because we"re still in college and we don"t have to maintain a storefront 24/7."
