The designer launched his eponymous label in 2020 and quickly rose to success as his designers were seen on the red carpet, gracing fashion icons like Rihanna, Jourdan Dun, Kim Kardashian, and Dua Lipa, among others.

Davis will be shutting the operations of the label to start his role at Ferragamo, effective from March 16, 2022.
