Rising Stars: Meet Will Forbes of Plano

Today we’d like to introduce you to Will Forbes

Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
My background blends a passion for music with a deep dive into luxury fashion. Armed with a music degree, my expertise spans production and songwriting. Additionally, collaborating alongside industry titan Justin “Guitar Slayer” Lyons, renowned for his work with BlackPink, MGK, Lil Wayne, and the Dallas Mavericks, has significantly enriched my production skills.

Beyond music, I’ve immersed myself in the world of luxury fashion, working with renowned names such as Tiffany & Co. and Louis Vuitton. My ventures extend to sneaker creation and concept photoshoots in partnership with shoe company Andrew Kayla. Furthermore, I’ve spearheaded print campaigns for Italian Luxury Brand The Cryptonym and “Liv Streetwear” from New York. Liv Streetwear was prominently featured in esteemed outlets like Footlocker and Hypebae. My immersion in the fashion world extends to participation in renowned fashion weeks in Paris, Milan, and New York, where I’ve both showcased my work and graced the runway.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
One of the main struggles for fashion in particular has been location. Specifically being in Dallas with a fashion scene that takes a back seat to places such as, New York, LA, Paris, or Italy. I’ve found that it’s easier to immerse yourself into events such as fashion week when you’re in one of the major art and fashion hubs.

Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I specialize in music and creative arts. I am known for my deep knowledge and understanding of luxury fashion. I’m most proud of independently building connections with power players in the fashion industry. I’m the “guy who knows a guy”. What sets me apart is my ability to blend in and be a chameleon in all types of scenarios and environments.

How do you think about happiness?
Waking up in the morning and having life makes me happy because I know I have a new day to be better than who I was yesterday.
