Today we’d like to introduce you to Bryce Brown.
Bryce, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
Since I was a kid, fashion was something I was always drawn to growing up with an older sister and mother who were always into fashion. Simply looking good makes me feel on top of the world & freedom of creation is my escape from reality. I officially got my start in fashion around the age of 15, being in a mentorship under my older brother in law who had been operating a brand since he was in high school. Under his wing I learned how to make clothes (screen press & sew), design more efficiently, market clothing, and maneuver through this tough industry. I credit a lot of my success today to him because he showed me the ropes that gave me an early advantage. I created Seventh Sense after I’d completely learned the game & I was ready to face it on my own. The concept/idea came to me while I was at church with my family and I’d never felt more sure of anything else in my life. That’s how I knew this was destined. My first collection got an amazing feedback leading me to do collaborations with other brands on the come up that I see fit with mine. When I got my first booking to be a wardrobe stylist is when I started to see real growth. I started occupying more lanes in fashion than just being the owner of a brand & I flourished in every aspect. Since dropping my well received sophomore S/S ‘20 collection I’ve had big name placements such as Thouxanbanfauni, UnoTheActivist, Jaxson Hayes, Jase Febres, and many others. I look to continue to grow & expand my lifestyle/brand to the world.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
It hasn’t been the smoothest road but I accept any challenges God throws my way. Last year I had a major fallout with my brother that influenced me to start doing clothing with him, we had a brand together & a creative warehouse that didn’t get to flourish due to not seeing eye to eye. It taught me a lot about how business works & how to stay consistent despite having setbacks. As an artist you’re constantly in a mind battle between trying to please your supporters and trying to please yourself. So, for me personally finding that balance has been one of the most difficult parts of this journey. I’ve had to deal with animosity and jealousy from my own family. They were hesitant to support & even after garnishing a little success they still continue to doubt me every day. But I turn that pain into art.
Please tell us about the company.
As a company I’m most proud of how I operate Seventh Sense. It may seem like a one man army but I have a team/family of loyal friends that were hand picked & are just as dedicated to Seventh Sense as I am. Each of their morals & beliefs align with the company to create one giant heartbeat. Every collection, photoshoot, or public event is carefully planned; or “controlled chaos” as we like to call it. We have a different way of running things around here but it all stands on our message of showing the world to always be themselves authentically & stand out in the best way by doing the hard things in life. We’re selling much more than a brand we want the world to buy into our lifestyle. The meaning behind this brand is how we live our lives daily and our message goes far beyond just clothing.
Has luck played a meaningful role in your life and business?
It has been crucial. Good luck & Bad luck are the embodiments of what my brand means. It’s a balance. I find that I have good luck when I’m determined & prepared, if you’re not you can have the opportunity but it’ll just pass you by. On the discussion of bad luck, I think it’s just a matter of perspective. Something bad can happen to you but you can gain a life lesson and better yourself to where that experience is turned into “good luck”. No matter what I face in business I look at it as a blessing, good or bad I know I’m going to roll with the punches and be a better person in the end.
