Interview With Designer Haven Prescott Jr. By. Alexis Diaz
In our ENTnext feature we are pleased to bring you upcoming talents in all forms of business. I recently had an opportunity to sit down and talk with Clothing Designer Haven Prescott Jr. Founder and Ceo of Moral Fabrix for a Quick 6, Check it Out:
1.Alexis: What would you say your biggest inspiration is for starting your clothing line?
Haven: Biggest inspiration was my mother. Before she passed, I told her that I would start my own business and be successful. Then when 9/11 hit I came up with the name Moral Fabrix. I had a love for skateboarding and wanted to give a clothing line where Rock/Hip-Hop and European influence would all be fused together. To let the world know that you don’t have to just like one genre but multitudes. The term for this fusion is called Skurban.
2. Alexis: How does your family feel about you starting your own clothing line? Are they supportive or skeptical?
Haven: In the beginning my father was skeptical. He was actually the reason for me not pursuing going to School for fashion. He told me that it wouldn’t be beneficial and that I needed to choose a different career path. My brothers and sister have always supported what I have wanted to do. They have always believed in my vision. Now as years have passed and things have progressed in my business, my father sees how I have excelled, and he could not be more proud. He completely supports me and does not doubt any decision that I make.
3. Alexis: How long have you been a clothing designer for? Did you always know that this was what you wanted to do?
Haven: Wow, well lets see I have always been artistic. From a young age I would always draw pictures of people, scenery, clothing. I would have to say that by the age of 8 or 9 I knew I was going to be involved in fashion. All the kids would always notice me by the clothes I would wear. At a young age I was already making a statement and everyone noticed. I also used to model at the age of 17, so I’ve always been in the industry from a young age and always had a sense of style. It was in 1999 at the age of 22 that I realized that I wanted to be a clothing designer.
