Meet The CEO & Founder

Antonio Cannon’s claim to fame began after winning the Faces of the Future Contest for a well-known celebrity. Out of 10,000 hopeful contestants, he was crowned the next Supermodel. The 2009 fall, holiday, and spring campaign, currently features Antonio on print ads, national billboards, and visual media in selected Carson’s and Macy’s Men’s Apparel Departments. This led to him being featured in Ebony/Jet Magazine’s Commemorative Issue of Michael Jackson, GQ Magazine for September 2009, and a special guest runway performance at Howard University’s renowned homecoming event.
