The Man Behind The Brand 

Untitled design.png

I’m Rodney Ismeil and I AM MANY THINGS! When I was seven I started dancing and choreographing routines with family and by the time I was 14 I became a part of a Chicago based dance team, A-Phi-O. Later dancing with a wide magnitude of Chicago team I learn from my experience in every one. I started creating garments for fashion when I was nine years old. Even though I’m self taught I made sure that I learned skills to increase my talent and knowledge in the fashion industry and in dance. As of today, I have traveled to New York City and Las Angelos to present my collections including my hometown, Chicago. 

 

 As if I’m not doing enough, I’m also a stylist, creative director, costume designer and teaching artist. My clients that I style are entertainers, educators and everyday people who want to look and feel their best and that’s where I step in to help. In addition, I also enjoy being a creative director for artists  who have a vision that needs to be brought to life. Last but not least, I’ve been spending time on  sets of various short films designing costumes for each cast member. To say the very least, I AM MANY THINGS !

"My goal is to create a safe environment of performance and entertainment for the city of Chicago."
