Will White lives to create art. From his time at Howard University majoring in Fashion Merchandising to his employment Illustrating for Tyson’s Galleria in. Washington, D.C., he’s always been drawn to the visual aspect of creation.

Although his major in school was centered more around the business aspect of the fashion industry, will was drawn to take Sewing I, Il, and Ill while in undergrad after purchasing a sewing machine on a whim.

Since then, Will has taught himself through trial, error, and experience. 17 years later, he has designed womenswear, menswear, dog outfits, dance costumes, his wife’s wedding gown, and his own tux for their special day, and was even chosen as a semifinalist for Project Runway Season 17.

In the Charlotte community, Will’s word-of-mouth clientele has truly kept him busy. As one of the queen city’s fresh faces in the fashion and visual art scenes, Will is intent on pushing Charlotte’s style to limit some could only dream of while always making sure to keep it “cool”.
