Designer Venny Etienne



“I found my inspiration in the Midwest, I pictured a man from there moving to New York. But he did not want to lose his Mid-western roots, so he mixed his style from home with a New York flavor.”

The result of his idea is the very intriguing outfits for men put forth for his Le’ Venity line. Made up of outfits of leather and suede patches on shirts and suspenders with fitted jeans, complete with cowboy boots and rancher hats, his spring collection brought country mixed with “New York cool” to the House of D' Marsh Rhythms of Fashion show.

How did he do research for his line? Etienne chuckled and replied "I watched a lot of old cowboy movies."
