“I had the pleasure of meeting Alicia in 2011 and became familiar with Wink Magazine when her publication participated as a sponsor of our 4th Annual Charlotte North Carolina Fashion Week. Alicia did an outstanding job of highlighting and promoting the event in her magazine and through the social media. I was very impressed with her professionalism, results and quality.

Janet Parker, Wach Fox 57 Evening Anchor

I have known Alicia Zeigler since the founding of what is now known as Columbia Fashion Week. Alicia has an infectious personality and is always willing to help, network and inspire. During the partnership between CFW and WACH Fox News I have had the pleasure of hosting, serving as a gust panelist and even ripping the runway. Alicia has always been very accommodating. She is one of the few people in the city who I never hesitate to answer the call for because I know she'd do the same for me. I look forward to what's ahead for her because I know it will be fabulous and uplifting! - 7/2017

As a modeling and talent educator with companies and projects from coast to coast, I can easily and readily remark that Alicia is honest, dependable, and diligent in acquiring paying gigs/shoots and events for those signed with her.

Elliot Carlyle, Brand Engineer
at Elliot Carlyle Unlimited

I had the pleasure of meeting Alicia in June of 2013 during Columbia Style Week. Previously, Alicia and I had been in communication because she invited me to be panelist for the 2013 Fashion Panel during Columbia Style Week. I along with my guests were pleased from the moment we arrived. The CSW team were professional and their hospitality was first class. It is evident that Alicia is an artist at heart, and as a fellow creative director I can easily notice that her passion exudes through her work. I greatly admire Alicia as a visionary and as a craftsman for what she has built with her brand extensions. Alicia is nothing short of a pioneer and I look forward to seeing her visions grow to higher heights. I am deeply humbled and honored that she considered me enough to be a "voice" during her event. It is with great pleasure that I write this recommendation. If you're making a choice to work with Alicia you are making a choice to win! 1/3/14
