Her service ensures that clothes which might have been worn, for instance, for a charity function, with a leading designer creating the garment specifically for one evening, may have a second life.
Many of her sources spend literally hundreds and thousands of dollars on their annual wardrobes - with garments often only being worn once - some never at all.
Another critical element to the business is the extensive research she undertakes before purchasing any clothes. This includes visiting designer boutiques and fashion shows to establish the correct value, what's hot and what's not in America, Paris and London.
Among other designer names stocked by Williams are included - Gucci, Gaultier, Christian Dior, Fendi, Hermes, Armani, Valentino, Versace, Louis Vuitton, Chloe, Galliano, Dolce & Gabbana, Manolo Blahnik, Jimmy Choo, Fendi, Badgley Miska and Moschino. www.designerexposure.com
In a very real way, Dorinha has come full circle from her Brazilian roots to the creation of her own line of designer denimwear. The northeast corner of Brazil where Dorinha grew up is renowned for the rugged uniqueness of its landscape, and for its women of character; it is a place where the survival track record belongs to “cactus, goats, donkeys and strong people like me; everything else dies,” says Dorinha, tongue only partially in cheek. The youngest in a family of 16, Dorinha lost six siblings to the harsh environment of her childhood. She credits no small part of her current success to her upbringing and strong sense of family: “My roots are, emotionally, the place where I ground myself. I want to be strong for my family, for them to be proud of me.” She describes her father's farm with some pride, where cotton was among the crops he grew. “In a way my jeans will be part of that,” she says, referring to the fact her jeanswear is manufactured in Sao Paulo, from Brazilian-grown cotton. www.dorinhawear.com
