The Mens Streetwear industry targets a very large group of creative consumers, through this large group I am able to provide my one of a kind design to them.

Finding a manufacturer that could fully interpret my key design elements and not be disconnected from the design process.
How do you stay up to date with fashion? Tell us some of your design inspirations that went into creating the line.
Personally, I love Men’s Streetwear, I’m constantly searching for my next piece to add to my collection. I never go out of my way to research men’s streetwear. There are so many awesome design in the industry, so when I am designing, I believe that my mind needs to be clear and focused on what I want my design outcome to be. I will say that one trend that I do keep in mind is the current color trends because I do believe that your color theory in your collection is very important.
