We recently connected with Antoine Washington and have shared our conversation below.
Antoine , thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Alright, so you had your idea and then what happened? Can you walk us through the story of how you went from just an idea to executing on the idea
I want to get into how I went from an idea to producing my most recent fashion show and how it was executed.
First off, I’m a visual person and feel old school when I say I pulled out my paper and pen. I began writing out an outline of who? , what? , when?, where? , why? and How?.
Including artists meant writing each artist into each segment of the show flow.
After going over the show flow and get my ideas all out on paper I then begin to reach out for confirmations on participation from all parties including models chosen and artists to perform etc.
Set up meetings leading up to the show as well as making sure everyone involved is on one accord.
After a series of meetings my team and I set rehearsals prior to show date and we prepare for show day.
By our final rehearsal date we are all set and ready for showtime.
Antoine , love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
I’m known by Taé and I entered the fashion industry back in 2013. At that time I began creating revolutionary headwear that took the fashion world by storm. Covering popular magazines from year one as well as mentions alongside some of your favorite celebrities and brands.
Instagram has played a major part in the journey of building Tae Designz. It’s been a consistent tool to connect and reach millions of people worldwide.

Today I’m most proud to have reached such a milestone with my fans. We’re celebrating 10 Years and I cannot be more grateful for everyone that’s supported over the years.
What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?
Consistency has been very important to building the brands reputation as well as having an eye for other creatives I’ve collaborated with over the years.
Many models have began their modeling careers working with me on many projects.
Today most of these creatives are currently working professionally still as well as getting booked for major networks, companies, brands and celebrities.
Any thoughts, advice, or strategies you can share for fostering brand loyalty?
Whew! It’s definitely a task, however I maintain relationships with my clients through every avenue I can think of from my email contact list, subscribers, social media platforms, phone etc.
I cheer on and create many opportunities for many artists coming up and pushing their brands. We’re all family, F.A.M.
My events and photo shoots include past models I’ve worked with as well as newbies. Returning faces help show the brands growth as well.
