Kyle Denman is a fashion designer and artist based in Los Angeles, California. Before entering the creative space, Kyle studied political science with a focus on nonprofit policy. Having always loved art as a child, he craved creative expression and freedom. In 2016, he moved to Los Angeles to pursue fashion design and has grown a client list to include names like Beyonce and Georgina Pazcoguin. He has received accolades for his work, including being recognized as the 2021 International Fashion Designer of the Year and being named on the inaugural Forbes 30 Under 30 Los Angeles list. For years, Kyle has taught design and art to youth from underserved communities.
