About Morgan
Hi everyone!
My name is Morgan Allen and I am a fashion designer and seamstress in Columbia, MO. I started sewing at 8 years old and always knew it would be my career. I obtained my Associates Degree in Fashion Design at the #1 Fashion School in the world, The Fashion Institute of Technology. While in New York, I worked multiple New York Fashion Weeks, and even got to work for Bridal Designers you have seen on “Say Yes to the Dress”. After leaving New York, I interned for a designer in Nashville, then graduated from Stephens College (ranked #14 in the world) with my Bachelors Degree is Fashion Design and Product Development.
My love for alterations comes from how much clothing can affect the way you feel about your body. After working in the fashion design industry and designing behind a computer, I realized nothing made me quite as happy as working hands on with customers, and meeting so many amazing people. My goal is to make everyone feel confident and happy in their own skin. My passion along with my years of experience, and my educational background ensure that you will leave my studio feeling confident in yourself, and confident in your decision to go to Morgan Allen Designs.
Meet Archie!
Archie is our little sewing buddy! He loves playing fetch, going on walks, and taking long naps in the studio. Archie will be the first to greet you at the door, and will be a patient boy during your fitting, waiting for all the back scratches and belly rubs he will get after!
Stephens College is pet friendly, so Archie has spent his whole life in sewing labs around models, and now in the studio around clients. He is extremely friendly, does not shed, and loves to meet all of our clients. Although Archie is as hypoallergenic as dogs get, we understand that you still may not want him around your fitting due to allergies or personal reasons. If you would prefer a pup free fitting, just let Morgan know!
