International fashion designer and owner of Jevon Terance Fashion Line is a lifelong resident of Lorain.
Founded in 2007 by her namesake, the Jevon Terance fashion line quickly grew from a passionate hobby into a well-known brand.
Terance has participated in seven fashion shows in four seasons during New York Fashion Week, in addition to showing his designs during Paris Fashion Week in 2015.
For the first time since the novel coronavirus pandemic, Terance returns to New York City to showcase his collections.
The collection will be presented during Show Room Confessional and SFW Fashion Shows.
SFWRUNWAY showcases high-end luxury clothing brands during New York Fashion Week.
Terance is a client of The Confessional Showroom NYC, one of the most popular showrooms in New York City, known among fashion editors, designers and social media influencers as the place to discover new, established 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,” said Terance. “The Show Room is glitzier and more glam, while streetwear is mixed with sneakers and relaxed pieces without letting the collection down.”
Terance said the collection is very special as it celebrates the brand’s 15th anniversary.
The 15-year-old collection is based on the X15 hypersonic jet, the first experimental aircraft to reach the edge of outer space.
“Going on 15 years, we want to take the brand to new heights, which is what the X plane did, the X15,” said Terance. “This 15-year collection will do this by offering a new color palette and mix of textiles; which is pushing forward in Jevon Terance’s future.
“I’m thrilled to be celebrating 15 years with associates across the country and in NYC.”
Terance said that as the brand expands, his company is doing more collaboration with small manufacturing businesses.
“It can feel strange to design something and not be the one making it,” he said. “But it’s amazing to get the product and it’s in place.
“As we grow, I can’t be the one who sits down and sews everything, so trust is a big thing. We’re working with small businesses so we can work efficiently and it’s a good fit.”
Terance said that although he loves to travel, home is where the heart is.
“Family comes first and that’s a big part of settling here,” he said. “I love my community, participating in local organizations and being a mentor; social media plays a big role in not moving.”
He said he, the business and its supporters hope to host a fashion show in the country in the near future.
“I love taking the energy from New York Fashion Week and bringing it back here in a private setting,” Terance said. “Ideally, we’d like to do this before it gets too cold.”
