Bruce Glen Pays Homage To Their Dear Mother At 2022 NYFW

On Tuesday, February 15 the two iconic fashion designers Bruce and Glen also known as, “The Fashion Preachers”, made their grand debut to leave their mark with their latest collection, “Look Mom…” in their Fall 2022 Collection at NYFW. With intentions to shine a light on their mother Rosie Marie Thompson’s significant sacrifices, they decide to remember her with their exceptional talent. 

Each of the looks in this collection is a testimony of pure vibrancy, dauntlessness, and strength. Her hard work is what drives the identical twin brothers, Bruce and Glen to live their everlasting dream today. 

There’s a touching feeling of enjoyment and relaxation that pivots the looks while conveying a sense of the present. “Look Mom…” creates a timeless moment of glamour and luxurious appeal through the mediums of glitter, crystals, metal trims, and metallic leathers. Not only do the iconic brothers serve authenticity in their process but deliver with their wide range of hues to make you feel at home in style. 

Story Behind The Eternal Duo

At a very young age, Glen and Bruce discovered their love for fashion design. This happened all from the brothers constructing paper dolls with full wardrobes. 

Bruce explained, “A sequence dress with clear packing tape and glitter, that was one of our favorites. Back then we didn’t know to call it designing or even related to fashion. That’s just what we were drawn to.”

The glitter concept originated from their mother. Ultimately, this shapes a lot of their work throughout their career. When Bruce and Glen were younger, their mother was fascinated with glitter nail polish. Therefore, the brothers would always add to their mother’s glitter nail polish collection and then paint her nails. 

Little did the boys know that such a simple act would pave the way for them to discover their niche. They always had dreams of buying their mom a house before her passing. Glen stated, “I think a lot of young black kids in the hood have the same dream.”

“By the time she passed she was proud of us. Her eyes sparkled like the ocean and glittered like her nail polish.”

Their journey quickly began when they found themselves suffering from financial difficulties which forced them to drop out of school. That following summer the brothers had the opportunity to intern at Beyonce’s House of Dereon.

From their incredible experience here, they were able to perfect their craft and raise their clientele to top celebrities such as Beyonce, Nicki Minaj, Trey Songz, Diddy, and some others. 

This wonderful opportunity transpired Bruce and Glen to rebrand back in 2019 with a particular focus on accessories such as their bag collection.

What Does The Collection Embody?

This embodiment of work captures hues that are bold and fierce to ignite conversations from all over! The use of color, metalware, and patterns speak to a lot of the pieces to capture the aura of their mother in 27 looks. 

Don’t sleep on these two brothers, they are here to capture their vision through the word of God in a stylish yet eye-catching way!
