Ep. 54 | Davon Bean: From the Bronx to the Super Bowl Stage as the First Creative Director of Vanson Leathers

SUBSCRIBE & WATCH MORE ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/@lastflightoutpodcast He grew up in the Bronx with no degree, no investors, and no connections. He learned the fashion business from the floor up — Bloomingdale's, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Burberry — watching how the biggest luxury houses in the world actually work. Then in 2011 he bet everything on himself and started Fly Geenius. For ten years he pushed while the world wasn't watching.Then everything changed.In Episode 54 of the Last Flight Out Podcast, Mike and Jay sit down with Davon Bean — founder of Fly Geenius and the first-ever Creative Director of Streetwear at Vanson Leathers, a fifty-year-old American leather house. You have seen his work even if you did not know his name. The jacket DJ Mustard wore behind Kendrick Lamar on the most-watched Super Bowl halftime show of all time — that was him. LeBron James walking through the NBA tunnel in an Aimé Leon Dore x Vanson jacket — that was him too.In this conversation we get into all of it. The Bronx he grew up in. What those years behind the counter at Louis Vuitton and Gucci actually taught him that no classroom could. The ten years of Fly Geenius that nobody saw. How a fifty-year-old family business in Fall River, Massachusetts decided to hand him a seat at the table and make history. The Super Bowl week story — a snowstorm, a package, and five days to deliver. The French Montana collection at Paris Fashion Week. What Virgil Abloh's life and death taught him about pace, purpose, and the cost of building something great. And the one moment where, if he had chosen differently, none of this exists.This is the episode for every creative who has been building in the dark and waiting for the world to catch up.Subscribe to the Last Flight Out Podcast on YouTube and wherever you listen to podcasts. #lastflightoutpodcast #DavonBean #VansonLeathers #FlyGeenius #Fashion #Streetwear #BronxNYC #SuperBowl #DJMustard #Podcast #Ep54 #NewEpisode #NoFilter #BlackDesigners #CreativeDirector #Hypebeast #LeBronJames #FashionPodcastFOLLOW OUR HOSTS: Jay ➡️ https://instagram.com/jloubriel26 Mike ➡️ https://instagram.com/ifmikewashere FOLLOW LAST FLIGHT OUT PODCAST: YouTube ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/@lastflightoutpodcast Website ➡️ https://www.lastflightoutpodcast.com Instagram ➡️ https://www.instagram.com/lastflightoutpodcast/ TikTok ➡️ https://www.tiktok.com/@lastflightoutpodcast Apple Podcasts ➡️ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/last-flight-out-podcast/id1711422290 iHeart ➡️ https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-last-flight-out-podcast-323371807?cmp=ios_share&sc=ios_social_share&pr=false&autoplay=trueSpotify ➡️ https://open.spotify.com/show/2xZJhd2qIw5IxV4VBQufZn
