We had the good fortune of connecting with RSVP KEVIN and we’ve shared our conversation below.
We’d love to start by asking you about lessons learned. Is there a lesson you can share with us?
Learn as much as you can. The more you know, the better. One thing I learned the hard way is that depending on people will only lead to let downs. Learn to do as much as you can by yourself so you limit the number of people you have to work with & pay. Nobody can see your vision like you can.
Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
My brand is Called Visions. When I was coming up with the name I wanted something that wouldn’t box me in or limit my creativity. I wanted to be able to design whatever I felt at the moment. Along w/ my eye disease, that’s why I chose the name “Visions”. My inspiration as of late has come from skeletons & CT scans of bones. Skeletons to me are like the preservation of life. I like to embody that in some of my designs . Getting here was not easy. I’ve been making clothes clothes since 2012 but I feel as if I just became a designer in 2020. I’m just now learning everything I’ve been needing to know all these years. It took me making plenty mistakes to learn what to do & get where I am today. I still have a extremely long way to go. Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I’m rally simple when it comes to food. I’m from Antioch TN so I’m big on chicken. One of my favorite Chicken places is Hattie B’s. I love that place, I want to design their merch & all! I also like Joella’s Chicken Shop. Benihana of course. I’m not from the city so I still don’t know all of the spots yet! But shopping wise we’d go to Goodtimes ATL or Full Circle .
