Frnmy came to life after the first brand Fli Pelican (we have to understand this). both brands focus on empowering an individual in todays society. FLI means to find love inside, the pelican represents selflessness, these are a state of mind a way to be.

You can catch him in studio anytime day or night cutting patterns, doctoring and creating dreamscapes to shoot. The website changes with each collection, displaying new looks for the season or mood.

This 90’s aesthetic stems from the designers childhood in Detroit, collecting Victoria Secret catalogs and watching movies like Set It Off and Poetic Justice, and Akira. These are the type of cult classics we remember. “Anything by John Singleton was classic.”
