We recently connected with Quadir Gray and have shared our conversation below.

Quadir , looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Coming up with the idea is so exciting, but then comes the hard part – executing. Too often the media ignores the execution part and goes from idea to success, skipping over the nitty, gritty details of executing in the early days. We think that’s a disservice both to the entrepreneurs who built something amazing as well as the public who isn’t getting a realistic picture of what it takes to succeed. So, we’d really appreciate if you could open up about your execution story – how did you go from idea to execution?

WHEW GUCCIAMO BOYSZ INC STARTED OUT AS AN IDEA in 2020 ME AND MY BUSINESS PARTNER HAD THIS IDEA THAT WE WANTED TO BE CREATIVE AND BRING SOMETHING FROM OUR BACKGROUNDS AND WHERE WE GREW UP FROM NYC AND FROM LOVE. IM THE FASHIONISTA AND I LOVE TO DRESS AND LOOK NICE AND I HATED PAYING SO MUCH MONEY FOR DESIGNER OR JUST TO LOOK NICE SO I THOUGHT LIKE HOW ABOUT A CLOTHING LINE MY BUSINESS PARTNER WAS DOWN WITH IT EVEN THOUGH MODELING AND FASHION ISNT REALLY HIS THING. THIS IS WHAT BRINGS OUT THE GRAPHIC DESIGNER PART HES MORE HANDS ON WITH SKETCHING THINGS OUT HE HAS A GOOD EYE HE TAKES GREAT PICTURES. SO WE STARTED TO THINK WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO TO PUT THIS PLAN INTO MOTION WE TOOK CRAFTING CLASSES TO LEARN ALL THE DIFFERENT TYPE OF CRAFTS THERE IS TO KNOW WE STARTED BUYING THE DIFFERENT MACHINES AND MATERIALS WE MAY NEED TO BE ABLE TO MAKE THE THINGS WE NEEDED AND WANTED TO MAKE. THEN WE FINALLY SAID LETS MAKE SURE WE DOING EVERYTHING ON PAPER SO WE DECIDED TO START GUCCIAMO BOYSZ AS AN INCORPORATION MAKE SURE TO FILE EVERYTHING THROUGH THE STATE MAKING SURE WE PAY TAXES EVEN IF WE HAVENT MADE ANY MONEY.

We’d love to hear about how you met your business partner.

Me and my business partner met from friends of friends us hanging around the same group of people and then we crossed in the same fraternity on the same line so he is my friend my fraternity brother and family all in one and wouldn’t trade him for the world.

How’d you build such a strong reputation within your market?

WHAT I CAN SAY HELPED US BUILD THE REPUTATION WITHIN OUR MARKET IS DOING POP UP SHOPS DOING FASHION SHOWS AND JUST MAKING SURE TO POST CONTENT DAILY ON ALL PLATFORMS. AND ALSO WEARING THE BRAND OR WEARING A CUSTOMIZED PIECE AND WHEN SOMEONE ASK I ALWAYS TELL THEM EITHER I MADE THIS OR THIS IS MY CLOTHING LINE AND FROM THERE WE BUILD EVEN MORE.
