From one fashion week to the next, one powerful collection after another, Mark Bumgarner has become a red carpet mainstay in both global and local fashion scenes. With such an illustrious clientele all across the globe, what’s next for the couturier?
“I started my designing career in 2013,” Bumgarner says. “At f irst it was just a hobby, sketching for friends and family. I used to have my clothes made in a sweatshop of another seamstress until I was able to purchase my f irst sewing machine.”
It was a simple beginning for the household name, and it was a long process to get to where he is today. How did he achieve critical success? Through his one-off feminine designs and signature soft architecture.
“My current design ideology is to always think about what’s next for my brand,” Bumgarner mentions matter-of-factly. “I love creating beautiful things, but also, we need to make it current and think of the customer. After all, we are here to sell clothes and not just to create ideas.”
