Born in Flatbush, Brooklyn Denzel’s inspiration to become a fashion designer was sparked at an early age. He admired different brands which inspired him to become a fashion designer. As he grew so did his desire to learn about designing. Quickly understanding the layers and levels he developed a sharp eye towards his craft. He says looking good is a necessity for him and wants others to feel the same experience. Artist/Producer Pharrell Williams is Denzel’s favorite designer for his modern playful approach on fabrics and traditional styling. A dream client would be Jalen Brunson from his favorite basketball team the NY KNICKS. 

Denzel envisions Denzel Honoré Bespoke (DHB) to be a satisfying experience for all of his clients as they’re being fitted for exclusive garments handpicked by Denzel himself. His approach is a modern twist of sleek designs fully detailed while staying true to a classic style. When designing for a client his steps are simple. First, finding out the occasion or event that the client or clients will be attending. Second, is measurements and lastly he finds out their personal styles and preferences for their desired looks. This aims at the delivery of an ideal suit that entails the signature of DHB. He makes sure that the fit, quality, design and customization are all presented in his craftsmanship. He also designs for female clients with the same approach. 

Five years into the future Denzel sees his brand with a thriving Flagship store that showcases his latest collections plus offering his bespoke services as a main focal point of business. He is definitely open to having TV and Film clients. He welcomes the opportunity to work for Hollywood’s elite film houses as well. His current client base is men/women in business, Influencers, actors and the wedding industry. Denzel definitely sees himself working with Pharrell Williams in the near future if God allows. Denzel invites all from the sports, entertainment, white collar and the wedding industries to consider his services. Please visit his website and his Instagram page for more information on booking a consultation.

His advice to those following in his footsteps is to seek God with all your heart and passion and he will direct your path. It is he who has given you the desire and has a specific plan for you with your dream. Without him you’ll never fully grasp why you’re called to this space and how it aligns with your purpose.
