We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Ms. Béquille . We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Ms. Béquille below.

Ms. Béquille , looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Can you talk to us about a risk you’ve taken – walk us through the story?

You learn from taking RISK! Since most people tend to avoid risk, those who are brave enough to take risks already have a competitive advantage. They are the ones setting the pace and leading from the front with new ideas, fresh offers, and bold inventions. Risk takers are the most adept at pivoting when the going gets tough. Traveling to different cities/states with the show where people are unfamiliar with the brand is a huge risk we took but it also worked for us as well. RDBXclusive was able to connect with new talent to help grow the brand.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

R.D.B (Rose Du Béton) Fashion Show was founded by tiara crutch also known as Ms. Béquille.  The conception of this fashion show stemmed with a conversation with my late father, Donald Crutch. I always had a dream of my brand, Béquille, attached to a fashion show. The fashion show debuted in Queens, New York September 17, 2017. It was a sold out event that had patrons standing along the walls and a line around the corner. At this point, I was watching my dreams come to fruition!
The production behind this event included a celebrity makeup artist & a celebrity photographer. The global pandemic tried to stop my dream but after meeting pharoh Khepri Show coordinator RDB picked up in Jacksonville Florida with another sold-out event, on May 21st, 2021. With celebrity guest designer, Isaac Spry who tailored customs from the blockbuster, Black Panther as well as the hit TV series The Walking Dead. This ignited a fire within me to continue on with the RDB Fashion Show and take it on the road.
With the initiative of Pharoh Khepri, CEO of unspoken model management, we have mapped out a fashion show tour of three major cities. With my drive & direction paired with the organization & event skills of my business partner we have created a blueprint for the underdogs. RDB has been seen on buzz tv ,RiverCity live Jacksonville news & published twice! In January 2022 pharoh Khepri passed away which was a very emotional time for RDB . We decided to continue to keep the vision alive and ceo tiara crutch & Marcus McNeil ceo of Xclusive Entertainment decided to join forces. Tiara & Marcus bonded through grieving the lost of their dear friend pharoh Khepri. Xclusive Entertainment was founded by Marcus McNeil. Born in Memphis, Tennessee.  He is a 37 year old male graduate of Edward Waters College and Keiser University Degrees in Business Management & Computer Science. He started Xclusive Entertainment with dreams of expanding Entertainment on different levels. Taking one venue and merging them. Example would be a fashion show and a poetry wrapped into one with an celebrity guest host. This is the new wave Mr. McNeil choose to connect with RDB Fashion. RDB was created to bring awareness to talent & businesses who weren’t getting the exposure & opportunities needed. “We are for the underdogs!” RDB means “concrete rose” in English! We want to be the example of how no matter your environment or struggles you can still come out stronger & amazing.

RDBXCLUSIVE will be working on a show in Jacksonville Florida 2023. We also are evolving into more than just fashion shows.

What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?

Brand reputation is the perception that customers, employees, partners and others have of a brand. The stronger the reputation is, the more that people will trust and advocate for the brand. Relationships , being particular about collaborations and careful planning with attention to details for shows/events.

How did you build your audience on social media?

We have built our audience with consistency! Remain consistent & apply hard work. Put the full effort into anything you attach your name to, don’t ever half ass anything. Quality is always key!
