CLASS & STYLE<br />

veryone, this is not a drill! Be on alert because fashion stylist<br />

and designer Maurice Brown is coming on the scene with fresh<br />

looks that will stimulate your eyes and mind. He got his start in<br />

the industry back in 2015 modeling clothes and walking in<br />

fashion shows for other fashion designers. He would often get<br />

compliments for his unique style while doing shows, which then<br />

further prompted him to sell some of the pieces he would wear<br />

and give styling tips to other people. Brown?s style is influenced<br />

mainly by combining contemporary clothing trends with vintage<br />

styles.<br />

He grew up in the 80s, where he first recalls rocking a different<br />

style from most other people. Brown credits his individuality<br />

partially to his parents, who decided not to cut his afro in a time<br />

when high-top fades were all the rage. Later, though, he desired<br />

a high-top fade hairstyle himself to which he is thankful his<br />

parents did not object to the idea.<br />

W<br />

hen he is styling for a client, he likes to<br />

get into the client?s mind. He figures out what<br />

inspires them, as he doesn?t believe in forcing<br />

any particular style on someone. He wants<br />

everyone to explore their own unique style<br />

while he gives them tips that will help their<br />

individuality truly shine.<br />

In the future, he wants to continue working<br />

with and promoting the Classic Man Boutique,<br />

a business that he recently opened up. In<br />

November, he is collaborating with a fashion<br />

show producer named Sabre, who raises<br />

money and awareness for Graves?disease,<br />

where he will style 10 guys who are working<br />

with Lord & Taylor as part of an upcoming<br />

show.<br />
