Location: New York, New York Occupation: Founders & Designers @ Will&Rich Will&Rich are a wunderkind of their own. After being friends throughout grade school, these two Houston, Texas natives joined forces when they were both 18 to create Will&Rich LLC, a luxury clothing line filled with snakeskin and leather jackets, shirts, backpacks, and everything in-between, all made with from fabrics of the highest quality and designed with the utmost attention to detail. With both in hustle mode, dedicating all their time to designing and working on the business aspects of the brand this year, it won’t be long now until Will&Rich is an iconic title gracing runways and magazine spreads around the globe. WeTheUrban: What do you love most about what you do? Will&Rich: What we love most about what we do is that there are no creative boundaries; whatever you can foresee can be done. Fashion also plays a big part in everyday life which gives each piece a chance to inspire each day. WTU: What are two main things you’ve learned while pursuing this career? W&R: The first thing we’ve learned while perusing this career is that it takes 100% dedication. The second thing is to never let anyone tell you what can and can’t be done - just prove them wrong. WTU: Has your family played a big role in your success? W&R: Family definitely has played a big role and still does! Fam is always first. WTU: Just how much has your career evolved over the past few years? Did you ever foresee this? W&R: If we actually sat back and thought about it, we would say it has evolved a lot! But we are far from the level foreseen, the world has yet to see our full potential. WTU: What is it like knowing so many people look up to you? Ever feel pressured to keep up? W&R: Pressure is definitely present, but not to keep up, just to make sure we stay ahead. WTU: What would be “the dream” for you? W&R: The dream would be 3 storefronts in the US while selling through many online stores and high end boutiques like Colette, Barney’s, Jeffery’s, RSVP, etc.
