I didn’t have someone to teach me. I just wanted it bad enough that I taught myself. Want it bad enough to not settle for any other option.
— Rich Fresh

We all love a good suit and tailor job, but we love when it’s a GREAT one even better. Recently, we sat down with celebrity designer and tailor, Rich Fresh who has mastered the craft. Known for his expert tailoring and custom attire, Rich is taking the game by storm one seam at a time.

Rich Fresh Bespoke is a custom tailoring operation based in Los Angeles known for suits and luxury tailored goods. Rich is especially known for his use of neoprene and making custom tracksuits, trousers, and really cool outerwear. “I just took a really interesting fabric and did something with it that no one else in the industry has been doing and it’s gotten a lot of attention" says Rich.  

Rich has always had a passion and desire to making something happen and was relentless about it. That mindset he says it what made it happen. Growing up in Memphis, TN, there wasn’t a huge market for luxury goods but Rich was determined to make his dream come true. “I didn’t have someone to teach me. I just wanted it bad enough that I taught myself. Want it bad enough to not settle for any other option.” Rich says.

Rich is most proud of his endurance. He says, “We grew from nothing but intention. We didn’t have investors, we didn’t have loans, we didn’t have any of the things that most brands have to start out, we just had…well I just had an idea.” An idea that blossomed in to what’s becoming one of Hollywood’s staple luxury brands. Overcoming trials, Rich was able to assemble a team that was able to move with the same objective.

What sets Rich Fresh apart from other designers is his authenticity. He explains, “I don’t work for anyone else. I don’t have to appease anyone but myself. Whatever I feel is what’s going to be projected. “ This is truly a mirror of his work. Rich believes the fashion industry is going to become more for the people. He believes direct to consumer is the root model to success. “Direct to consumer will always work.” Rich says. Rich advises upcoming designers to find a model and mentor to help train and show the ropes. He sees this being a huge incline for himself and others.
