DONTE COOPWOOD

Donte Coopwood has been into fashion since middle school and his inspiration comes from Giorgio Armani. “I’ve always respected his clean, tailored lines and his suits are my favorite,” Coopwood said. Donte’s style of fashion is business casual. “I like how many outfits can be created by simply changing a material or adding something, such as a sports coat.” Fashion is important to Donte because he believes fashion helps him to be expressive without having to verbally say anything.
