What inspired Mia Evans to pursue a career in fashion?
I never heard of a fashion show competition, but when I seen it, it was fashion and hair. I went in nervous, but confident, and I won first place.
Mia Evans is a visionary, resilient, purpose-driven entrepreneur and the founder of the luxury fashion brand, Mia Marie. Through her work, she creates timeless pieces that empower women to walk with confidence, strength, and elegance while building a legacy rooted in purpose and impact.
When I first started in this industry, I entered not knowing a lot of things. So it made it kind of hard for me, but at the same time interesting because I wanted to know. So I was able to just be my authentic self and just create what I felt I would love to wear. I admire my mom. She was a lady that dressed pretty well. I wanted to be like her.
When you're creative, what mindset are you in? Are you free? Are you angry? Are you with purpose? It spans the globe like a super high school internet.

Welcome back to another episode of the Living Your Legacy podcast, the Women in Power edition. For Inside Success, I am Ray Gutierrez. Joining us all the way from the West Coast is Mia Evans with Mia Marie. With Mia Marie. Yes.
What pivotal moment led Mia to win her first runway competition?
Can you give us, first of all, how are you? Welcome to the East Coast. Welcome to Miami.
Well, thank you. And I'm fine. I'm actually wonderful and I'm glad to be here.
Right on. So what are we going to learn about you in your episode?
Well, you're going to learn a little bit about who I am. You're going to learn about why I am and what actually allowed me to know fashion was my thing, was my niche.
Right on. I'm born and raised in Miami, but you were born in the West Coast. I was born in the West Coast. Yeah, give us a little bit of background. Yeah, I love San Francisco.
How does Mia define confidence in relation to fashion?
San Francisco and I have fond memories, but you were born there. Yes, sir. What's it like being born in San Francisco?
Well, I can say it was very interesting. There were a lot of different nationalities, a lot of friendly people. I never really had a hard time, but, you know, you have your... Ups and your downs growing up as a kid, right? Right on. But I lived there until I was a teenager. Oh, wow. And my mom and dad separated. So when that happened, mom moved to the East Bay, which happened to be Oakland, California. Right on. And we stayed there a short time before we landed in Hayward, California.
Gotcha.
What role did Mia's mother play in shaping her fashion sense?
And we're still there.
Oh, right on. Yeah, I remember very much my commute going driving out to San Mateo and just being right there at the cusp of Silicon Valley. Oakland, fond memories there as well. As a matter of fact, the Bay Bridge, the same architect is building these massive arcs downtown Miami. It's the same designers, which is kind of cool. An artist at heart from Oakland. Talk about what influenced you. Was it music? Was it poetry? Was it life? What was driving your artistry?
I'm going to say for me, it started with mom. So at a very early age, I admired my mom. She was a lady that dressed pretty well, and I liked her style.
How does Mia's design process reflect her personal journey?
And I have to say, she is who inspired me, and she also, how should I say, she also gave me a lot of, I guess... wanting, if that makes sense. I wanted to be like her. She was so pretty. And when she dressed, she was gorgeous. Like when I would watch her get dressed to go out, or even if it was just a day out, my mom always had it together. So I have to say that's where my first inspiration came from. After that, growing up as a young girl, I was into... Fashion on television. Okay. So basically I would literally watch TV shows, movies, and I noticed I paid more attention to what the lady had on. Right on. Right? So by the time I got to a preteen, I'm more now watching pageant shows. Because back in those days...
What does Mia believe is essential for building a legacy?
I guess I'm telling my age. But back in those days, there wasn't like fashion shows on TV yet.
