Greeks in fashion design.
In the rarifies and eccentric world of fashion design, there are Greeks. In the field of shoe design, for haute cuture and casual and active, Omega Psi Phi has three of its sons making their marks in this world.
Etu Evans, called the "Prince of Luxe Footwear", is an up-and-coming designer of women's shoes and handbags. His shoes have graced runways in NY and Europe. He has also started a foundation that furthers his outreach efforts. Evans, was initiated at Xi Psi Chapter, South Carolina State Univ., and is also a graduate of Columbia Univ.,the Fashion Institute in NYC and the Parsons School of Design.

Twins Shane and Shawn Ward, both Michigan grads, are not only biological brothers but fraternity brothers as well (line brothers!), having pledged Phi Chapter of Omega Psi Phi at Michigan. Their most recent venture is DETNY, a company which produces casual and active dress footwear for the "jet set" crowd.

One of our alums, and former CP's, is a designer for May Merchandising. She lives a fabulous life - okay, not really... VERY long hours at work, flying constantly to other cities/countries, etc. Sounds glamourous, but it gets tiring. I can't wait till she releases her own line

Betsy Johnson
I know that my school's local Alpha Xi Delta website lists a Betsey Johnson as a fashion editor for a popular magazine (who's name I can't remember) who is AXiD and I believe it is the same as fashion designer Betsey Johnson. She is a creative genius!

Anne Barge, a wedding dress designer, is also a Kappa. She uses a stylized fleur-de-lis as her logo.
Kate Spade was honored at our biennial convention in Kansas City last year. It was really neat. Now if only we could get a discount on her handbags!
