We had the good fortune of connecting with Melvin Howell and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Melvin, what do you attribute your success to?
In my opinion I believe in order to have a successful brand, you have to have a great supporting cast. A fan base is what I like to call it. They are the ones who either post your business and or purchases merchandise as well. They are the ones who help with putting your business out, they could be considered your marketing team.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I feel as if my art/work is exclusive. You are not buying a product, you are purchasing an experience! I’m excited to see where the next level takes me because my clothes are starting to sell more and more. To separate from others I try not to copy others and I incorporate my own swag into my art. I have a great supporting cast who believes in me so I wouldn’t say it was a hard journey but, it wasn’t the easiest as well. I’ve learned you can’t please everyone and have to do what you believe. I want the world to know I plan on working my way to create an EMPIRE!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would love to shout out Tae, Deandre, Cou, and Pelle. They are the faces behind my success. Without them, business would be much harder. They help me make decisions on color, graphics, designs, and much more. They Support every drop That I come out with and I love them for that. They always tell me be confident in what i drop because someone will buy it, if your confidence is high.
