RyanKenny
Written by Yvette N. Coleman
Ryan C. Glover, originally a record executive at Noontime Records, found himself needing more from the designers that he loved.  He needed the style, function and fit that the higher end labels couldn’t accommodate.  Being highly involved with music and fashion daily Glover says, “I felt like music, entertainment and fashion went hand-in-hand so my partners and I decided to make an impression on those industries as a group and bring in a line that reflected the lifestyle that we lived and portrayed.”

So along with Ryan and partners Kenny Burns and Derek Dudley, RyanKenny was born.  Trips to Italy brought inspiration to the sportswear as luxury became the key ingredient for the RyanKenny contemporary man. 
The RyanKenny collection is for the modern and fashion forward man that loves to express his individuality through his sexy!  This brand has become an industry favorite as well as to the mainstream.  For Fall '06, the collection moves towards the revolutionary era of the Civil War. Revolutionary themes are played up by adding military inspirations paired with deep rich colors and silhouettes.

Who do you envision wearing this collection?
“I envision that guy who is on the go, the guy that is constantly doing business, but knows how to relax and take advantage of life. That guy throws on his RyanKenny blazer with his Nike Dunks and goes through his workday, pulls off his blazer to expose his RyanKenny casual tee to take him through the evening of social gatherings and ends up throwing on his RK jeans to hit the club. That guy lives a lifestyle, not a separate one between work and play; all aspects of his life go hand-in-hand. He's a player, he's fly, he is RyanKenny. “

Incidentally, celebrity clientele include: Jay-Z, Jamie Foxx, Jeremy Piven, and Ashton Kutcher.
What's next for RyanKenny?
“As for the immediate future we plan on continuing making our mark in the fashion game. Right now we are concentrating on men’s. Of course the thought runs through our heads (to launch a women’s line) at times, but to be real, I know what men like. Now women, that's a whole other book! Lol. Kids and home furnishings is something else that we are looking to do.”

Words of advice From Ryan C. Glover:
 “I would say you have to be willing to make it your life not just a job, or dream. Dreams only come to those who chase them down, but that's not enough. You have to live it, breathe it, eat it and drink it day in and day out. And even after all of that, when you sleep you have to dream of it. RyanKenny is my life; you have to make your craft your own. Brand it.
Life is 24/7; I’ll sleep in the next lifetime - - ya heard!?"
