I remember Jérôme LaMaar  Fortez from Kimora Lee Simmons’ TV show – Kimora: Life in the fab lane. The 15-year-old Jérôme started off interning with Baby Phat and became senior designer three years later.  This talented young man  then went on to become a trend forecaster and image consultant for various designers before setting up his own label 5:31 Jerome in 2013.

The label is  named in honour of his birthday on May 31st and the look is polished,  sexy and intellectual with a playful esoteric twist to simple garments. Have a look at some of his designs below and tell me what you think.
