HOUSTON — Kanvas & Vogue is a dynamic brand that merges African heritage with contemporary Western influences to inspire and empower industry professionals across fashion, art, music, technology, and business. Founded by engineer and entrepreneur, KD Agbasi (https://www.instagram.com/kodilinno/ ), the brand's mission is to encourage creatives to engage in a global, forward-thinking conversation. Through a blend of culture and modernity, Kanvas & Vogue aims to spark innovation and self-expression in all its forms.
The founder's story is one of resilience and transformation, reflecting the belief that the American Dream is not about wealth, but about creating meaningful opportunities and honoring one's background. Every setback has been a lesson in patience and resourcefulness. Kanvas & Vogue invites others to join its journey of innovation, culture, and empowerment.
The brand's journey began with a deep personal connection. The founder was inspired by his mother's sewing and, over time, transformed it into a multi-hyphenate brand that now blends art, fashion, and music. Kanvas & Vogue was born from a passion to connect, collaborate, and scale creative endeavors, allowing artists and entrepreneurs to flourish in a supportive community. Kanvas & Vogue serves as a platform where creatives in various fields can come together to share ideas and grow their businesses.
Looking ahead, Kanvas & Vogue is planning immersive events that combine art, music, and fashion, including an upcoming mixer at AFROTECH 2024 and a presence at South by Southwest (SXSW). These events will offer creatives opportunities to engage, collaborate, and be inspired.
For the next generation of creatives, Kanvas & Vogue's message is clear: success isn't defined by a traditional path. Bold, unconventional ideas and a commitment to one's roots can create powerful opportunities for growth. The brand aims to inspire others to take risks, follow their vision, and push boundaries in their own entrepreneurial journeys.
