With her relentless drive, she looked for manufacturing in New York&#8217;s Garment District and cold called stores pitching her collection. The first store to pick up her line was Ikram\u00a0in Chicago. After graduating Parsons, she pitched her thesis collection\u00a0to Neiman Marcus\u00a0where she sold her cocktail dresses and gowns from 2010-2014 in their couture salons across the country. Arias applied for, and won, a sponsorship from the Japanese\u00a0designer incubator Shinmai Creator&#8217;s Project which allowed her to present her Fall 2011 collection at Japan Fashion Week in Tokyo. Her collection was picked up by Tokyo department store, Isetan, that season.
