About Fashioninity™

Welcome to the Fashioninity™ Boutique! 

Tonya D. Broughton is the creator of Fashioninity™, “Threads to Live By”, a fashion, beauty and lifestyle brand and boutique for women. Tonya is a professional career woman, wife, mother, blogger, model, brand ambassador, aspiring book author, and a communications and marketing senior-level consultant. 

Tonya’s love for all things fashion began at a very early age. She remembers taking her mom's old clothes, converting them into designs, and modeling in pretend fashion shows with neighborhood friends. Fashion even at a young age was her creative form of expression. She dreamed of becoming a model, while making academic achievement a priority which led to an academic scholarship to college.

During her undergraduate college years, Tonya began pursuing modeling. From there, she participated in photo shoots, appeared on a novel cover, in national hair and beauty magazines, corporate trade shows, retail commercials, and walked in numerous fashion shows for several fashion show productions featuring emerging and established designers, as well as the collections of major department stores. All of these experiences helped Tonya hone her eye for fashion, personal style, and develop knowledge about the beauty industry as well.

By the early 2000s, Tonya created a professional model management agency, Deja Models™, in metropolitan, Washington, DC with one of her dearest friends as a partner. Additionally, she launched her first blog in 2008, Sprinting in Stilettos, featuring fashion and style musings for women on the go. ​In 2011, she began creative development on Fashioninity™ as her new project to inspire women with confidence to embrace their own style, with an online presence as a brand ambassador as her primary focus.

With a professional career that spans more than 25 years of experience in corporate communications, IT change management, and digital marketing, Tonya continues to grace the runway as a professional model, and enjoys being a print model and brand ambassador. Most importantly, as a loving mother of three children and wife, Tonya is thrilled with the joys of her family.

With the launch of the boutique, Tonya's vision is to elevate Fashioninity™ as the fashion, beauty and style platform for lifestyle inspiration, paving the way to instill confidence, beauty and style in all women to help them look and feel fabulous.
