About Tosha Hays

Tosha Hays is a designer and manufacturer of a children's special occasion line based in Charlotte, North Carolina. 2002 was an exciting year for Hays. Fashion editors chose Hays' sophisticated Christening wear for their magazines' fashion editorials. Later in the year, Hays, who began her signature collection after stints as a merchandiser in the work rooms of Tommy Hilfiger, Inc. and head designer for Susan Turner Baby Christening division, won the prestigious 2002 Fresh Face Award in the special occasion division from WWD Children's Business Magazine.

Hays' modern design aesthetic appeals to buyers and mothers, who want an alternative to old-fashioned, heavily embellished infant Christening and Special Occasion wear. A Tosha Hays creation relies on clean lines to showcase fine textiles and innovative detail: necklines are unruffled, sleeves on gowns are straight or slightly puffed, and skirts are luxuriously full, yet not overblown. Where other designers layer lace over lace, Hays uses her trademark crisscross pleating for visual interest. Asked what influences her, Hays responds, "The art and beauty of simplicity."

The Tosha Hays collection is carried in better children's boutiques and department stores across the country.
