Geebin was born in Eagle Pass, Texas. Born the middle daughter of Jorge and Leticia Flores, she grew
up surrounded by her two sisters and mother who loved to dress her daughters up in the latest children's fashions. She and
her sisters would accompany their mother to the seamstress for fittings where the seamstress would sew outfits for them. Since
early childhood, Geebin loved to draw for hours designing clothes and drawing fashionable women. From then on she developed
the passion to create and design dresses.
After scouring all the local malls and boutiques looking for a dress to wear to a party and finding the same dresses in every store, Geebin had to make do with one dress from the local mall. As she walked into the party she realized that two other girls attending the party were wearing the same dress! This was the breaking point that motivated her to start her own fashion line and to give Tampa Bay what it needed, a unique fashion boost!
The idea behind her eponymous label is to create her own collection of beautiful dresses for women that want to break the mold and wear a one-of-a-kind piece. Geebin only makes 6 of each dress so that no girl would have to be stuck wearing the same ensamble as two others as she did that night! Through word of mouth and her increasing followers on Twitter, Geebin has been receiving many requests for her dresses. In January she resigned from her full-time executive position at a Tampa Bay area marketing firm and relocated to Miami to open her own boutique. 811 Washington Ave. Miami Beach Fl. 33139
