Jonta’: I would refer to my style as comfortable and eclectic.
Why did you choose to relocate to Los Angeles as opposed to New York City?
Jonta’: We chose to relocate to California instead of NY because we wanted to experience something entirely out of our element; a total change in culture.
Jamison: Plus, we wanted to be in a major city surrounded by other creatives, a place full of inspiration, & entertainment.
Describe your brand in 3 words?
Jonta’ & Jamison: Timeless, Inspirational, & Trendy.
Your Instagram feeds are LIT. Was it the plan to be Style Influencers from the beginning?
Jonta’: To be honest, no. We knew we were destined to be something great, but we had no clue as to what we truly wanted to do.
Jamison: After some time of us realizing our purpose there were two things we knew we loved: Inspiring others & we had a HUGE love for fashion, so it was just perfect to become Style Influencers.

Jamison: But, if we have to choose who is sterner then that award goes to Jonta’.
What separates you as individuals? Describe your personalities.
