A visionary in the field of fashion, Brandon Norman is the creative director and seamster of a custom evening wear line. Since an elementary school student, he has been involved in the field of arts in some capacity. So it was only fitting that he chose a career that was centered around the arts.
“Every day, I am just amazed with myself, coming from a small city to living in a major city in the nation to having my own bridal business,” Brandon admits. Whether working with a celebrity on a beautiful evening gown or designing a wedding dress for a friend, Brandon personally feels like each and every day is a great accomplishment.
Professionally, Brandon has a hard time choosing his greatest achievement, but being a part of history by creating custom looks for the first transgender Ms. Nevada 2021 for the USA pageant definitely ranks high on the list.
Dubbed a “fashion genius” by many, Brandon enjoys giving back to his hometown community of Texarkana. “Back when I was making prom gowns, I would select a girl who stood out and achieved good things their senior year and design a complimentary custom gown for her,” he says. He has also been a guest speaker during workshops in the community to explain what it takes to be in the fashion industry to those interested in every facet of the business, whether modeling, photography, or designing.
Although he currently stays very busy bringing high-end fashion to the Dallas area, when he has time to shut off his brain and relax, he enjoys painting, fishing, and going to Top Golf and Andretti Indoor Karting and Games.
Brilliant and humble, this native Texarkanian’s future looks very bright. He looks forward to opening a storefront, making the cover of “Vogue,” expanding his bridal line worldwide, and owning an art school dedicated to fashion in the East Texas region.
