About the Designer, Whitney Michel

MICHEL MEN is the American menswear brand founded by Brooklyn-born, Haitian American designer Whitney Michel. Created during her senior year at Parsons, the brand quickly earned Michel a spot at Vogue, launching a decade-long career in menswear, styling icons like Tom Brady, Joel Embiid, and Derek Jeter. Drawing inspiration from her artist father, classic American films, and being the only girl in a family with four brothers, Michel’s vision is as bold as it is refined. In 2020, Michel Men won the CFDA & Vogue’s Harlem Fashion Row grant, and continues to earn recognition from the New York Times, GQ, and Vogue. Now living in the calming woods in upstate New York, Michel continues to tell the MM story while serving as an advertising Chief Creative Officer, staying true to her belief in purposeful movement.
