Romeo Vie - The hoods tailor bringing the vibes to the British streetwear scene

For this episode we were joined by Romeo , the founder of Streetwear brand 'TrueVie'. Hailing from Walthamstow, East London, Romeo has turned previous adversities in life into a desire to inspire and uplift people. After getting stabbed whilst studying Marketing at Hertfordshire University Romeo decided to try and do more with his life after realising how precious it is. Having always been someone who was interested in fashion, Romeo started the brand 'TrueVie, which translated from French to English means 'True Life' - Romeo wanted the brand to represent the reality of life and the fact that there is a lot more to it then our young inner city minds lead us to think, with the slogan for the brand being 'Dream, Discover, Explore'. Starting off hustling out of the trunk of his car in Uni, Romeo has been able to build a brand that truly represents the many different parts of his character, which has also attracted a strong community of nearly 10,000 people! Romeo's go getting and free spirited, Congolese nature, has led to him having a community of driven people, ready to have a good time and take on whatever life throws at them! During the convo we spoke about Romeo's early start in fashion, something which he attributes to the fact that he is a tailor! The 'Hoods Tailor' to be precise! We also discussed what Romeo thinks it takes to build a brand, including his thoughts on marketing, personal branding and much more.
