Lorain designer Jevon Terance makes his mark during New York Fashion Week – Morning Journal

International fashion designer and owner of the Jevon Terance Fashion Line is a lifelong resident of Lorain.

Founded in 2007 by its namesake, the Jevon Terance Fashion Line quickly grew from a passion hobby to a recognizable brand.

The collection will be presented during the Confessional Show Room and SFW Fashion Shows.

The SFWRUNWAY showcases high-end luxury streetwear brands during New York Fashion Week.

Terance is a client of The Confessional Showroom NYC, one of New York City’s most acclaimed showrooms, known among fashion editors, stylists, and social media influencers as the place to discover new fashion designers in New York. and Miami.

He said he is very excited to be back in New York.

“I had to curate two different looks,” Terance said. “The Show Room is more glitzy and glamorous, while streetwear mixes with sneakers and laid-back pieces without dumbing down the collection.”

Terance said the collection is very special as it celebrates the brand’s 15th anniversary.

The 15-year collection is based on the X15 hypersonic aircraft, the first experimental aircraft to reach the edge of outer space.

“As we turn 15, we want to take the brand to new heights, which is what the X-plane, X15, did,” Terance said. “This 15-year-old collection will do exactly that by providing a new color palette and mixing textiles; he’s pushing Jevon Terance into the future.

“I am happy to celebrate 15 years with collaborators across the country and in New York City.”

Terance said that as the brand expands, his company collaborates more with small manufacturing companies.

“It can feel weird designing something and not being the one doing it,” he said. “But it is incredible to receive the product and it is perfect.

“As we get older, I can’t be the one who sits there and sews everything together, so confidence is a big thing. We are working with small companies so that we can work efficiently, and it is a good option.”

Terance said that while he likes to travel, home is where the heart is.

“Family comes first, and that’s a big part of being stationed here,” he said. “I love my community, participating in local organizations and being a mentor; social networks play an important role in not having to move”.

He said that he, his business and his supporters hope to host a local fashion show in the near future.

“I like to take the energy of New York Fashion Week and bring it here in a private setting,” Terance said. “Ideally, we’d like to do that before it gets too cold.”
