He designed an elegant black gown for America's Favorite Dermatologist Dr. Tess Mauricio when she opened a clinic in Glendale and when I found out who the designer was, I was just floored that it was a young new FIDM graduate.
In 2018, he launched his KB School of Fashion, where he started training models for pageants and runway shows. From Los Angeles to New York, from Paris to the Philippines, he has taught hundreds of young men and women that, through hard work and perseverance, anything is possible. In 2015, Kenneth expanded and debuted his men's line. It has the vision to create a lifestyle that goes beyond the traditional men's fashion. His men's collection has been seen in Paper Magazine, Marie Claire, Harper's Bazaar, Vogue, Billboard Magazine, Esquire, Cosmopolitan, among others.
I would say my biggest achievement is having a full house and a sold-out collection for my 10th year anniversary show. What made you decide to include two other fashion designers – Cora Castillo and Katie Kortman - in the show? Can you tell us more about them and how your friendship developed as Bravo's Project Runway Season 19 contestants? How would you describe each designer's style?
Because of my hectic schedule it took about two months to prepare for the show. The reason why the location was the Port Pavilion is not only because it is a big and beautiful space but also because that is where I held my very first fashion show of my career. In total, we had about 50 crew members to help run the show. Our hosts for the event were our local FOX5 news anchors Maria Dunn, and Phil Bauer.
