Grateful is an understatement. Thank you, @karen_buscemi , for the incredible feature in the December issue of @hourdetroitmagazine ! It’s an honor to share my journey as a designer, entrepreneur, and mentor in Detroit’s vibrant creative community. Midtown will always hold a special place in my heart, and being able to turn dreams into reality here has been a blessing.
From the inception of @kwalkerco to teaching the next generation of designers at @ccs_fashiondesign , every step of this journey is rooted in purpose and community.
To anyone chasing their dreams: keep going, wear what scares you, and always believe in your power.

36 feels different.
Thank you for the love today, I don’t take a single message for granted. I’m entering an era of peace, discipline, stability and the real luxury of freedom.
I’m so grateful that God has brought me here stronger, wiser.. and clearer than ever. 🩶🏁

After nearly 3 years on Cass Avenue, I’m officially closing the doors to @thekwalkerstore .
This isn’t a goodbye.. it’s a transition. A necessary pivot. A moment to honor everything this space has held and everyone who’s walked through those doors.
To celebrate, I’m hosting “THE LAST RESORT” — a closing event + collection launch this upcoming Sunday, August 31 from 1–7PM at the store (4161 Cass Ave, Detroit).
Expect:
🌴 The all-new @kwalkerco RESORT 25 capsule collection
🎧 Sounds by @djmia__
🍹 Cocktails + Mocktails by @monarchmixers
🎶 Vinyl Records for purchase at Ken’s Vinyl Shop
💛 And an End of Summer Sale on select styles
This space gave birth to so many ideas, relationships, and risks that changed the course of my brand.. and my life. Pull up, take in the vibes, and help me close this chapter with intention.
Let’s make this moment count. 🤲🏾

Life is too short… 💔
You always showed love. You always checked in. And even in your darkest moments, you still brought light to us all. I just pray you felt the same love that you so selflessly gave.
No words can express the regret I feel for not making sure we linked up to bring your ideas to life. Your faith was inspiring, and I wish I had been there more to remind you of just how great you are.
This morning, I felt your spirit. It gave me the push to keep going, to keep fighting, and to keep chasing the dreams we talked about.
Rest well, my brother. 🪽 #AintNo2DaysTheSame
