MEET Lady Fines
Lady Natasha Fines is the visionary Founder, and Creative Director of Lady Fines Adaptive Fashion LLC and the Rebels with a Cause Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to advocacy, representation, and equality. Her journey into adaptive fashion was deeply inspired by her late aunt, Emma’s six-year battle with breast cancer, driving Lady Natasha to merge her passion for fashion with a mission to create stylish, adaptive apparel. In her aunt’s honor, Lady Natasha is dedicated to revolutionizing the fashion industry with adaptive designs that celebrate Emma’s legacy.
Born and raised in Tampa, FL and of Puerto Rican descent, Lady Natasha holds a Psychology degree from the University of South Florida (USF) and a Fashion Business Management degree from the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) in New York City. Lady Natasha Fines' fashion career began as a buyer at The Home Shopping Network, where her passion for fashion and understanding of human behavior flourished.
She recognized a significant gap in the market for models with physical disabilities and adaptive fashion options. Her drive to fill this gap led her to deplete her savings to start Lady Fines Adaptive Fashion. Convincing her mother, Emeline Fines, to leave her high-profile role as Vice President of Sales for Southeast, Caribbean, and LATAM at Casa Dragones Tequila to join as her business partner. Presently the mother-daughter duo has propelled the Lady Fines Adaptive Fashion brand to new heights, championing inclusivity and innovation in fashion.
Adding to Lady Natasha Fines’ mission of creating a more inclusive adaptive fashion brand for women with physical disabilities and chronic illnesses, she is also passionate about creating a safe space for girls and women with invisible disabilities such as those who are hearing impaired and or/deaf. During a trip overseas she experienced permanent hearing loss, a challenge that shook her deeply at the time. She is finally ready to share her story, finding strength in her journey and hoping it might resonate with others facing similar challenges. She hopes her mission helps others feel confident and beautiful wearing their hearing aid, rocking any fashionable outfit!
Lady Natasha Fines is now poised to launch Lady Fines Adaptive Fashion for a national debut on the world stage, having been hand-picked as a feature designer during New York Fashion Week this fall 2024. Lady Natasha Fines is transforming the fashion industry, making it more inclusive and representative for all while propelling Lady Fines Adaptive Fashion to unprecedented heights, championing inclusivity, innovation, and a new era in fashion.
"With my accessible clothing line, I hope to support women who are not only under-represented but whose needs are ignored by mainstream fashion brands when it comes to easy-to-wear apparel options. "
