It is my mission to translate all the love I have for fashion and entertaining into beautifully and brilliantly executed fashion events.” - Régine

 

Since Régine was a young girl she planned dinners and invited guests, young and old, to dine with her and her family every Saturday afternoon.  She has always had a knack for organizing and entertaining. Simply put: Régine brings people together.  She also has a intense love for the arts.  Every weekend, from a young girl and even as a young adult, she was visually saturated with the arts: attending plays and ballets at the Wang Theatre and operas at the Boston Symphony Orchestra.   Monthly trips to the Museum of Fine Arts helped her blossom as an artist. All her free time was spent painting and drawing.   

 

By the age of 16, she began organizing church programs for her peers and producing plays and concerts.  It’s no wonder that even at such a young age her future was painted as an artful one.

 

Régine grew up in front of her mother’s worn-out sewing machine.  With an endless need to visually consume the art from the pages of Vogue, dreams of couture and fashion shows naturally ensued.  This love for art, fashion, and entertainment seemed to flow through her veins. 

 

At 19 Régine opted out of the college experience and enrolled in cosmetology school, earning a certificate in the field from LIBS.  "I have always loved being around people.  Helping them feel and look fabulous is always my pleasure".   Unable to leave the world of fashion alone, as hair and beauty were such intricate parts of it, Régine chose a different path in the industry.  She began nurturing her skills as a fashion designer and started her own fashion company with her sister, Camille, and named it madeMOIselle Boston.  Régine was poised to enter the Fashion and Beauty industry and take it by storm.

 

At the beginning of 2007 Régine began working with Stanley DeSarmes of iMan Model and Management Group, now known as iMan Fashion Group, LLC. She started off as the lead fashion designer for the company.  Her role with the company quickly evolved into assisting with casting calls, coordinating fashion shows, and helping to produce the iMan’s launch party.  It was a match made in fashion and event planning heaven.  Régine has since added quite a few fashion events to her resume.  No event is ever to big or small for her personal touch and intriguing details, guaranteed to leave the iMan experience etched beautifully in your memory.  Learning from the experience of each show, she continually strives at becoming a magnificent leader in the fashion industry.  

 

Régine believes life isn’t worth living without LOVE.  She also loves roller coasters.
