Mo’s Bows is one of the most successful stories of a young entrepreneur in recent years. Moziah Bridges, the founder, started the company when he was only nine years old in his grandmother’s kitchen in Memphis, Tennessee. The idea stemmed from a desire to create a fashionable accessory that was different but sharp-looking. Moziah Bridges graduated from high school in 2020 and plans to study fashion design in college. Bridges have sold more than $700,000 of bow ties and men’s accessories and his company currently has five employees including, the CEO, a.k.a mom, and Granny who taught Moziah how to sew. Mentored by Shark Tank’s Daymond Jones, Moziah Bridges continues to grow Mo’s Bows.
Mo’s Bows is now an internationally recognized business and has led to Moziah Bridges being recruited for both events and contests. Bridges were inducted into the Tennessee State Museum Costume and Textile Institute in 2014 which brought his career to new heights. He served as the fashion correspondent for the 2015 NBA draft leading to a contract in 2017 with the NBA to make custom neck-ties for all 30 teams. He has made a personal bow-tie for Obama deemed “Obama Blue”, even made an appearance on The Steve Harvey Show, The Today Show, Good Morning America, 20/20, CBS This Morning, Disney Channel, and Shark Tank. Bridges’ success is not limited to the world of influence but also his partnering with companies like Cole Haan, Bloomingdale’s, the Home Shopping Network, and Neiman Marcus.
Moziah Bridges has even turned his gaze back to his roots to help other aspiring students with his Go Mo scholarship fund. The Scholarship fund is intended to help send Memphis kids to summer camp and has sent more than 50. Bridges even has aspirations in the realm of design hoping to expand his repertoire to new designs and skills by entering into the 2021 Memphis Fashion Week Fashion Show. Even his spare time revolves around designs with things like thrift shopping, sketching, and drawing. Moziah Bridges is not just an icon in the fashion world but an inspiration to other young entrepreneurs that age is not an obstacle but an advantage to get ahead. He inspires me to go after my hunches and pursue my dreams.
