Designer Jedda-Khan always knew fashion was in his blood. Jedda may have been upset after initially coming in second place at an emerging fashion designer competition in NYC, but that was just the start of Jedda’s career. Jedda’s work was so unique and innovative, all eyes that saw Jedda’s designs wanted more. Today, Jedda-Khan NYC is a top independent luxury brand for men and women in Brooklyn, exclusively made to measure – all curated and designed by Jedda himself. Since his Spring 2005 debut on the New York runway, Jedda has been a staple among fashion elites – redefining luxury with an elegant twist for the modern woman. In this week’s episode, I sit down with Jedda to discuss staying true to your artistic vision through adversity and how to turn passion into a successful business and personal brand.
