by MY SMALL STORY

 ”Part of My small story is that I wish people would wish more..meaning be more creative.” Mike B is the stylist for Swizz Beatz, Chris Brown, Ludacris, Steve Stoute, Ne-Yo–and Alicia Keys. He started as Groovey Lew’s personal assistant with styling, and then he was Puff’ Daddy’s personal liaison. We met at the Kustome Collabo sneaker launch. Our conversation covers his story into fashion, explains why he is the prince vs the king of fashion, people who influenced him and more.
