I recently got a chance to chop it up with the very busy up and coming designer Allen Robateau, about his clothing line Phaymus Lifestyle. Allen got started as a designer during his senior in high school, but didn't really get serious about his craft until the end of his freshman year at Fresno State located in Fresno California. I have much love for the west coast Im actually debating on moving to LA at the end of this year.
Allen draws inspiration from a myriad of sources first and foremost his mother, Pharrell Williams who is a big part of the skateboard culture, Kanye West who is just a maven in all genres of his career, and the very major Russell Simmons who let you into a brief glimpse of his empire on his recent reality series running Russell Simmons.
Artist He Currently Has In Heavy Rotation:
Drake, Jcole, Rick Ross, and Lil Wayne aka Liltunechi
Allen hasn't done any collabos yet but plans on doing that soon with various athletes and celebrities. When asked about his personal style Allen describes it as being causal/formal which is how he wants to brand Phaymus Lifestyle."I just like a good pair of jeans and I'll rock something Phaymus with that. I can totally dig that I personally wanna rock the line right I'm always looking for something new in Fashion to set me apart from others.
GOALS AS A DESIGNER:
Allen's goals as a designer are to just progress with time and make his customers happy, by making them look like celebrities. People he would love to see rocking PhaymusLS include: Chris Brown, Justin Beiber, young hollywood celebutetants and celebs, as well as young atheletes. Allen first wants to target the college students who are struggling to make it, I feel your grind Allen that's a very humble attitude to have in this industry it will always keep you on top. Allen states that was the primary reason he started his because"Im one of those broke college kids"he says. You can get his clothing soon on his website http://www.phaymuslifestyle.com/ or follow him on twitter @PhaymusCEO
When asked if he feels that Men's fashion gets enough attention he had this say"there is we just need more attention on up and coming brands. I just love fashion so if I see something dope I'm gonna support somebody else work as well, I wanna see more little brands get that attention"

That's what my website is totally about because the little guys often don't get the attention or recognition they deserve, and it's because people are so afraid to support others in their endeavors. Nobody starts at the top we all need a little help, and I think Phaymus Lifestyle is a great brand and I hope to see it soar!!!!!!
