It was eight years ago, after losing both of his parents, that he decided that it was time to immerse himself in a new environment. He packed his backpack, and left for Los Angeles without a plan. He explained how the fear of the unknown propelled him forward on his journey. Without a place to stay, he ran into a friend on his first day in town, who gave him a temporary home as he established himself in his new surroundings. He experimented in acting, but when it failed to inspire him, he began working and designing for a shop on Melrose. He additionally began teaching himself to sew.
He started with a used jean jacket which he distressed further and added additional creative flare. He then began designing more distinct pieces for himself and his friends. When they continued to receive a tremendous amount of attention when wearing the garments, Smock Me was born.
Smock Me© represents individuals that are dreamers who don’t want to confirm to the norm. Smock Me© is a mix of urban, punk, Hip-Hop, and 90's style. The clothes consist of loud colors, premium & vintage fabrics, vintage patches & pins as well as exotic reptile skins.
