Designing accessories for a living never really crossed Happy's mind. It was more of a hobby, putting together beads and styling them the way she could never find them to be at any of the local retail stores. In the beginning, she only gave them away, mostly to friends who all went crazy over the hip styles. Inevitably, someone big like Ben Chan took notice and, without planning anything, Happy soon found herself supplying to the Human chain of stores. The funny thing about stumbling blocks is they come with perfect timing. Happy also soon developed an allergy to beads, only to discover, thank God, that the allergy was to dust rather than to beads, which allowed her to resume her "hobby" of designing accessories. Officially named "Get Happy," the hobby immediately gave her a place in the world of style.
The "Get Happy" store was originally a transparent box Happy would lug around to show and sell her pieces to friends and family. Today, you see Happy David's name splashed everywhere, her designs accessorizing models and personalities in all the fashion magazines and being sold in exclusive boutiques and department stores! Her unmistakable touch of "Happy" gives her designs the flexibility and versatility that appeals to the young, fun, and whimsical customer, as well as to the more mature, urbane sophisticates. What remains consistent is the happy feeling one gets when wearing her designs (especially apparent to our models who wore them for this shoot!).
