Kelly says she created the
word “Medmeleon” which is a combination of the words
‘medical’ and ‘chameleon’, to represent her medical clothing
line because, says Kelly, “Just as a chameleon is able to
change its skin color without shedding its skin and can
adapt to any environment, with my line of medical scrubs you
can go from work to a night on the town without having to go
home and change your clothes.
“Medmeleon,” she says,
“is clothing transformation at its best, scrub uniforms that
transform into an outfit you can wear for a fun evening
out.”
Kelly says the idea to
start her clothing line came to her while sitting in an STNA
class. Bored, she started doodling and drawing and decided
to create fashionable scrubs. “I’ve worn scrubs since the
‘90’s,” says Kelly, “and I’ve always thought they were the
ugliest things and thought since I like fashion, why not
make them fashionable?”
Kelly says her goal is to get the
items into retail stores because to purchase them privately
would be very expensive and her objective, she says, is to
make them affordable for all and available to all, offering
sizes from zero to- 3x.
The purpose of the fashion show, says
Kelly, was to show people that the medical field can be
fashionable and to also promote her business, Deesyremei’
Enterprise, and highlight some of the services she offers.
In addition to her clothing line,
Kelly hosts events and has hosted her own beauty pageant for
young girls. She also consults with other businesses in
helping them develop marketing strategies. Kelly adds, “I
designed and created my medical scrub clothing line and
Seamstress Lucy Noble of L & M Alterations & Sewing helped
me bring my vision to life.”
