Drawing inspiration for fashion by industry icons Alexander McQueen and G-Dragon, Devin now has offices London, Paris, Los Angeles, Japan, New York, and China.
When asked about his inspiration and path to success, Devin had this to say:
“[I] got my inspiration after being bullied, [believing] that there were other ways to take out my anger without having to hurt myself. I believe that I can take out my anger on designing clothes. I also just want people to understand that you don’t need to reach a certain age to be successful.” — Devin Kang
Now, the talented entrepreneur has started working closer with artists to create music that brings together his American and Korean roots. He has produced the song “Like Me,” a collaboration between A$AP TyY, Show Me The Money winner Bewhy and CJamm.
