Growing up, everyone is trying to fit in. From middle school up through adulthood, all everyone is trying to do is fit in and get on top of ever changing new styles. The fashion industry is never lacking with new inspiration. It is hard to stay on top of new trends, clothes, styles that different friends, family, athletes, and celebrities wear. However, as the designer it is difficult to create a style that someone hasn’t seen already. It has to be new, unique, and never seen before.
This young Entrepreneur does exactly that in the fashion industry, and has beenfor the better part of the last two years. Since graduating high school, Demetrius Mackey has started up working on his dream: designing new clothes, fashion, and style for people to wear. Traveling the world, from PA to California, to New York, and even Paris, he has had his product walk the runway in major fashion areas. It has even graced music videos by the likes of Lil Mosey, 6ix9ine, and many more.
Its a new style unique to him. He takes the time to ask people what they want to see on their clothes, rather than just give them something. He then incorporates new trends, and everyday things into his work. He paints, stencils, screen prints, and even draws all on the clothes he produces for people to wear. And they are taking the market by storm, and flying off the shelf.
Getting his product out was hard at first, but then came the word of mouth advertising and he was off and making products for anyone and everyone. He didn’t let the many challenges (bullying, being told no, saying its a women’s industry) to stop him. He kept his head down and worked. Published in many major magazines, in music videos, and gracing runways, this young Pittsburgh artist and stylist has being succeeding and opening new doors.

This is a great way for this young entrepreneur to break into a market that already has so many businesses. He made it unique, memorable, and it took off. Although it is true, many people say that the fashion industry is a woman’s industry, this entrepreneur is ignoring traditional concepts and shooting for the stars.
Hats off to this young entrepreneur to come into a highly populated market. As a fashion wizard myself I know that there are so many different styles in the world. I couldn’t imagine being so creative that I’d help design clothes for some of the most famous people in the world. It takes a strong mindset to do something like this and Demetrius deserves recognition for that.
