Ex-Basketball Player & Celebrity Fashion Coach Jean Francois Bro Grebe Reveals his Partnership with Marlon Wayans on Maria Menounosâ Black Hollywood Live Network
Hollywood, CA (PRWEB) October 07, 2014
Self taught, 6â7 tall ex-professional basketball player, style consultant, and celebrity fashion coach Jean Francois Bro Grebe discusses âthe doâs and don'tsâ about menâs wear, his âsur mesureâ clothing line for athletes and how celebrities get lost in fashion when they hit the jackpot. He also reveals his fashion project with Marlon Wayans on Maria Menounosâ Black Hollywood Live Network.
When asked about the challenges of finding clothing for a man of his stature, Bro Grebe said âI hate going shopping, because for people like me, you can never find colorful classy clothes. I decided to make it all myself, I look good, my friends look good, so I created a circle. Thatâsâ why I named my company King's Law."
In addition to working with celebrities and atheletes like Sam Jones III, Stan Warwincka, Ray Lewis, Takeo Spike, Tom Sizemore, Carl Lewis, Johnny Pacheco, Romeo Williams, and Marlon Wayans, Bro Grebe explains how he got his inspiration to create a unique stylish outfit: âI do my consulation, I meet you and understand your world, what women you are into, what kind of clubs you go to, your lifestyle. When I meet you, everything matters and I am going to create a unique image that reflects yourself.â
Being influenced by his motherâs style, French and Ivory Coast roots, Bro Grebe revealed his fabrication to Black Hollywood Live, âAt 13 years old, I learned how to design and create my clothes as I was very tall, and couldnât find anything sytlish to wear. I learned the process of designing custom pieces for any wardrobe and truly developed a sense of style and an expertise in haberdashery. Today, I select vey high quality fabrics from Italy and all over Europe to create unique pieces."
In addition, Bro Grebe shared his partnership with Marlon Wayans and their introduction. âWhen I got introduced to Marlon through Shashi, his stylist, who set us up, we laughed for hours. For hours we couldnât work. Then we talked and I understood his vision. He showed me his crazy ties collection. From the 90âs, some are 20 years old, with fur, any kind of ties, you name it. We became really close and Marlon has a great sense of style. Marlon has everything going on with his TV show and movies, but is working on developing a brand and we are right now talking about it, itâs in the air.â
Bro Grebe discussed his definition of the âcelebrity effectâ and trusting people in Hollywood. âWhen you become a celebrity you get everything at your feet, and you canât trust anyone anymore. So they are searching and searching, but they donât know what to choose as style. They start to buy gold, diamands, big shirts, things with no sense of fashion, they need someone to really advise them. They just donât know, instead they should call me.â
As a fashion expert with French and African influences, he shared the âdoâs and dont'sâ of the industry: âNo sagging your pants. That is a no no. Do not wear any Michael Jordansâ sneakers with a suit. Wear loafers, boat shoes, but no sneakers.â He also mentioned his biggest pet peeve that âSome clients donât wear underwear under their suits." Â
Kingâs Law Enterprise's formula for success is based on their core philosophy: Fashion is about expressing every manâs individual trait. Jean-François is a really busy man in Hollywood, traveling a lot between Europe and Hollywood to bring unique clothing and accessories and working to break the trend of the âblingâ Hollywood style. His French inspiration, his charisma, and very accessible personality make him the best fashion friend you wish to have on your team.
