ABOUT CROUISE'

Welcome to Crouise'! I'm DJ Thomas, a Communications major from Cincinnati, Ohio. My journey began in a small room in my hometown, where I envisioned creating a platform that collaborates with models, brands, and artists to showcase their authentic selves.

Initially, I was deeply immersed in sports media, but I realized my true passion lies in expressing creativity through fashion and visual storytelling. Inspired by avant-garde designers like Diesel, Rick Owens, Maison Margiela, Vivienne Westwood, Balenciaga, IF SIX WAS NINE, Louis Vuitton, Vetements, Number (N)ine, and Jean Paul Gaultier, I aim to capture the essence of style and individuality.

Equipped with my camera, I aspire to travel the world, documenting diverse cultures and fashion scenes. A significant part of my mission is to promote emerging local brands that deserve greater recognition. I strive to stay updated with upcoming designer collections and plan to attend events like New York Fashion Week to bring fresh perspectives to my audience.

In the future, I envision Crouise' evolving into a platform for buying and selling unique fashion pieces, fostering a community where fashion enthusiasts can connect and share their passion. I see this as bringing the fashion industry together as one, creating intersections where creativity and individuality meet.

Crouise', believe that fashion has no limits and that it's okay to break away from traditional norms. Embracing uniqueness and pushing boundaries are at the heart of our philosophy.

The name "Crouise'" is inspired by the French word "croisé," meaning "crossed" or "intersection." This symbolizes the Botonny cross, representing unity and convergence.
