Independent fashion designer – Jared Olsever

There is no formal education or certification required to become a successful fashion designer, but that doesn’t make the feat any easier.

Fame Kills is a Toronto based clothing line that creates graphic apparel using iconic figures. Ranging from t-shirts to crew neck sweaters and more, this brand truly speaks for itself.

Since its inception in 2012, creator, Jared Olsever has evolved the brand beyond his circles causally wearing his gear to full scale fashion shows, pop-up shops with established companies and sales in international markets.

"This brand represents all that is corrupt in the glorification of Hollywood, the music industry, and many other forms of self-indulgent destruction. The reach for a lifestyle that is deemed successful by the media is not a reason for living, the love for what you do is.

Passion drives this brand. Hoping for success through endorsements from big names is not the direction this brands wants; the message alone defines its quality of achievement.

Art is expressed through iconic imagery and every piece is pure quality. Attention to detail and a long process of mostly hand drawn visuals are rendered digitally to create eye-catching graphics."
-Jared Olsever

We interview Olsever for his insights in the fashion industry, his experience and advise for those budding designers looking to start or grow a brand.
