'Once there was a very sad fat kid crying every night to sleep, feeling sorry not only for his poor self image but also because he felt he was sinning for being attracted to other boys. He lacked confidence and only hoped for a miracle to happen to make him be what he wanted to be.
One day he decided he was tired of having a life he didn't want. He started believing and changed every single thing that bothered him. He found joy in exercising and revealed to his family his orientation. After he lost all the weight he noticed people found him attractive. He discovered that if he loved himself people would love him too.
All his life he secretly had a vision of himself as a fashionista, he knew that it was the right moment now with all his confidence to do what he always wanted to do…
This is me now.'

'My story starts as a young adult in Highschool, still going through the rough process of finding myself, but not finding myself becoming someone else. So through school I really took a liking to Blake Scott and how he would piece his looks together one accessory at a time. That's when the thrift store visits came about. Soon after my peers as well as my siblings could see me turning into a well dressed gentlemen as the days continued. With style it's always going to be who you are, but you always need a little bit of inspiration.'

It Can Be A Tool For Growing The Bonds Of A Family

'Running a business is never a cakewalk. Trying to make a name for our company in the increasingly competitive menswear space is a constant struggle, but it's what I'm most passionate about. And what else would I do? Watch my dreams slowly evaporate away from the confines of an office cubicle? I've tried that. It wasn't who I am.
True passion is rare in this day and age. Whatever sacrifices I've had to make have been worth it, every step of the way. Growing up, there was only one stylish member of my small family, my uncle John. He managed a Repp Big & Tall in Mid-Michigan and had a respect for menswear that I never truly understood until after he had passed. After the funeral, I came to inherit a collection of old photographs from his side of the family. Leafing through, I noticed that he never had the same tie on in any two separate photos. There's something to be said about a man who places that level of care into his wardrobe.
Fast-forwarding a decade, I now manage Tie Society- the largest online necktie and menswear accessory rental service. I can tell that it makes my mother proud, not only because I've been successful in my endeavor but because I've been able to carry on the
legacy of her brother, who had no children himself.
Style is bigger than just what you'd find in a magazine or online. It can be a tool for growing the bonds of a family."
