Mr. Knight discusses the benefits of being an entrepreneur and
the challenges he faced breaking into the fashion industry.
German born and Atlanta based, Mychael Knight has undoubtedly
known that he was designed to be a part of the fashion industry
since watching Soul Train in his childhood Montgomery, AL home.
After graduating from Georgia Southern University with a bachelor’s
degree in Apparel Design and Merchandising, Mychael Knight
relocated to Atlanta to become a part of the burgeoning urban
entertainment industry. Atlanta greeted Mychael with open arms and
his work soon became visible on the likes of Queen Latifah, Jagged
Edge, 112, Ciara and Free (of BET’s 106 & Park.) His design and
fabrication skills have been displayed in a variety of print
publications including Upscale and Black Men’s Magazine.
Mychael appeared on season three of BRAVO’s “Project Runway.”
Three-design challenge wins and a complete season later, the world
is under the spell of Mychael Knight, “fashion designer.” Referred
to as the “Fan Favorite” by over 10 million viewers and being
penned “the favorite” by his former competitors, Mychael Knight is
now the most sought after designer to emerge onto the fashion scene
since Zac Posen.
