He has created an elite brand that has been seen on many stars such as Kim Kardashian, Selena Gomez, Lizzo, J-Lo, and many others. The brand shares its name and his collection is known for not only enhancing the female form but also celebrating it in all of its iterations. Although he is a favorite of A-list celebrities, his well-tailored clothing is available to all on his website.
Roop
Every year there is a trendy item that captures the attention and the imaginations of the fashion-forward. This past year, that happened to be the colorful and creative satin bags made by the black-owned brand Roop. These colorful bags are both elegant and playful at the same time making them a perfect complement to any spring or summer outfit. All of the fabrics used to make these bags are leftovers that would otherwise have ended up in a landfill. This is not only good for the environment, but it also means that each and every creation is one of a kind.
