Creative Mornings: Will White x “PRIDE”

About the speaker

For the past 18 years I have been a fashion designer and illustrator that has been majority self-taught. From custom book bag prototypes, to gowns, to outerwear, and even my own wife’s wedding dress, I’ve taken on a lot of different projects all with the aim of being able to give it my own fresh touch. I’m truly inspired by everything around me, from Art to music to film, I just love downloading new ideas and seeing how I can push my work further. Originally born in NYC, raised in New Jersey, and now living in Charlotte, I’ve truly seen a lot at the ripe age of 37 and one common thread has been that when it comes to style, you have the opportunity to become whoever you want at the drop of a hat … literally. I like to say that I reside more at the crossroads of visual art and high fashion. While visual artists use paint, brushes, and canvas, I create my brand of art with textiles, threads, and a lot of imagination. As I continue on my own journey as a business owner, husband, and father, one thing that’s clear is that I truly love being able to make art in the form of fashion and I only hope to be able to continue dreaming up bigger and greater things as I go through life one design at a time.
