Drexel Johnson

My name is drex, and I'm a 19 year old fashion designer who decided to delve deep into the garment construction and fashion industry from age 16. since 2021, i've created several custom pieces, specifically pants of denim, rayon, and cotton for clients, while planning a Fall/ Winter collection. since middle school i've always had a creative interest and desire for being hands-on and detailed orientated. my inspiration is derived from abstract scenes of nature with a bold appearance. adobe illustrator is a software that i am currently self-studying.

My burning passion for garment construction happened whenever I took a random sewing machine in my home, outlined a pant design, sourced the materials, learned the machine and began sewing the day of. After the completion of my first ever created pants, i enjoyed how they fitted. i decided to start learning the various fabrics, and history and technical sides. eventually i created more custom projects and gained traction where a select few people wanted custom orders. when this happened I was partially unsure on my level of skillset but knew I should bite the bullet. my knowledge expanded from committing and im currently planning a fall/ winter collection with a friend.
