BRANDIN VAUGHN
Brandin’s passion began in Chicago with a strong foundation of earning the true technique of a well-constructed garment. He graduated with a Bachelor’s degree from the Illinois Art Institute and began working for local designers while also establishing a name for himself by participating in fashion shows and related projects showcasing his work.
With seven years of experience under his belt and a desire to revitalize fashion in a new area with his own brand, Brandin decided to move back to St. Louis to jump-start the fashion scene. Brandin began at full speed and quickly made a name for himself in St. Louis. After 3 years of hard work, he successfully became a sought-out designer and opened his boutique in February 2018, the Brandin Vaughn Collection (BVC).
BVC has been featured in a number of articles and magazines such as St. Louis Magazine. Most notably, BVC was featured on the cover of Upscale Magazine with a 3-page editorial spread. The collection was modeled by celebrity actress and entrepreneur Vivica A. Fox. Additional projects include wardrobing for Beyoncé Glamorama in Chicago, the Isley Brothers’ 60th anniversary documentary and the Fabulous Fox Theatre. Brandin has also worked costume design for the St. Louis Black Rep, Center of Creative Arts (COCA) and the Muny.
