DESIGNER:QUANDELL WRIGHT

Quandell Wright, founder, and designer of the William Palmer Hommé; a clean, luxury yet versatile ready-to-wear brand. From Detroit, MI, Wright has roots deeply embedded in the sleek style and rich culture the city embodies.

His passion for fashion started at a young age. Detroit, a fashion-forward city that is known for trendsetting, was no easy task for him as a child coming from an impoverished background. Being bullied became a norm, but this helped spark a fire within that inspired him to pursue fashion. Not just any fashion but quality designs. When his mom was able to buy him and his brother matching Guess outfits, he nearly wore it every day and promised himself he would make, create and sell high-end merch.

In 2017, he began doing just that. He used his winding path and hurt to fuel his passion, drive, and ambition to create a platform, company, brand, and legacy tied to a story that will positively impact generations to come.

Wright stitched his first piece of fabric to a pair of jeans when he was 13 and from that point on his love for the craft grew. He’s always been creative, now it was time to execute and manifest his vision.
