Remarkably, when asked where he initially received his inspiration for designing fashion, he says, “While employed by well-known stores (found at any mall) like Baker’s and The Wild Pair, I decided I could do this too” and that’s when he began to design his own products.
Not only that, but yet another impressive reason why Mark Anthony started his own line of clothing and accessories is because he never wanted there to be a time when someone came to him to say, “we don’t need you anymore” and be found unemployed. That’s the stuff that our country is made of, Private Enterprise.
Moreover, during his college years Mark Anthony studied Commercial Arts and discovered he had great ability and success with water colors and portraits. At that point, Mark Anthony made a decision about what he wanted as a career then pursued his passion and now absolutely loves what he does.
Also, when asked if there is any other place he would like to design and reside other than St. Louis, Missouri, he replied, “Chicago, IL.” In addition, Mark Anthony is a lover of great jazz music and says he really enjoys attending a good jazz concert. However, among his more favorite past times, he loves is spending quality time with his children and attending church services.

Also, he mentioned that when designing he prefers to work with black and white colors. Next, some of the metals he uses when creating fashion designs and jewelry include, but are not limited to 14KT gold, sterling silver, titanium and tungsten.
