In the fashion business for over 30 years, Victor Colvin sold his first collection out of West 57 ,an upscale boutique nestled in D.C.'s prestigious Georgetown Park Mall. He was just fresh out of high school. His career got a major boost when he was selected over 30 other designers to appear in, the now defunct, Ebony Man Magazine. He went on to become the recipient of a couple of design awards, which include the Best Sportswear Designer of the Year 1982 (Joyce Mills & Associates), and the Couture Award for Outstanding Young Designers 1983-84 (Deb Tech Consulting Service).
Victor has done freelance designing and/or consulting for over 35 urban clothing lines in the Washington D.C. Metropolitan area. Under the moniker of VMAC, he and his former partner have done production/manufacturing for Mchunu, AllDaz, Shooters, Madness, Bonidacci, and countless others. They decided to produce their own line in 2001. Their diversified collections included playful, trendy urbanwear consisting of t-shirts, sweatsuits, dresses, and pantsets. They also created vivacious clubwear and timeless, alluring couture with a modern twist. Racy, eye-catching swimwear also became an integral part of their line.
After separating from his partner in 2004, Victor debuted his Victor Hou Collection for DC Fashion Week II in 2005. He has been featured in publications such as Black Men's Magazines' SSX, DaBook, Beauty News, DC North, and Ebony Man, just to name a few. He has also appeared on several cable television shows in DC, MD, NJ, and NY. Victor has created pieces for celebrities such as Kima (of the Bad Boy group, Total), Jaheim, DJ Capri, and Allen Iverson. He also has two design awards to his credit.
Due to his unparalleled expertise in the world of fashion, Victor is guaranteed to be around for years to come. Keep an eye out for Victor Hou!
