It all begins with an idea.

After researching the harmful effects that the fashion industry has on its workers and the environment, Michael Vinzon has made it his mission to lead the sustainability movement forward in the fashion industry.

As the current Visual Merchandiser for the Levi’s Outlet Store in Folsom, CA, Michael Vinzon plans to work his way up the corporate chain of command at Levi Strauss & Co. to be a part of the Sustainability Department within the company.

While establishing himself in fashion retail, Michael Vinzon continues to design original garments in his spare time. Aiming to develop his design and construction skills, Michael Vinzon has been a designer in two fashion shows, and has plans to appear in more. With experience in both design and business, he hopes to one day become the creative director of a global and sustainably viable fashion brand.
