Local Artist Spotlight: Darren Nesbitt - Iamme Collective

Local designer, Darren Nesbitt, who also owns the media company Made Monarchs, has just upped the ante with his new clothing line, Iamme Atelier. Known for its innovative graphic tees that features homage to our hometown of St. Louis, he has now ventured into making clothing for women. The dresses were featured at "Life In Plastic" 2010 Summer Collection Preview at Soldier's Memorial in downtown St. Louis. The garments reflected a very fashion forward and sleek design. From a novice fashion eye, I wouldn't have guessed it was made by a local. I was very impressed with how each  look was so workable and wearable without looking mall-bought. But he doesn't stop there. He also puts on events with his company, Made Monarchs. Coming up on June 18th, is the Made Monarchs Prom. "I wanted to put on something nice," he says. "Something that we can come out to where we can dress up and not have to wear tennis shoes and T-shirts." The event will be held at Art Dimensions on 2720 Cherokee in south St. Louis.
