Alex "China" Gracia
Founder, CEO and fashion designer of CVLZD Apparel, China faced challenging circumstances growing up on the streets of Miami. As a young man, he struggled with reading and was labeled a "problem child with learning disabilities." Dressing up was the way he expressed his voice. While in High School, he created his first piece, a jacket and fashion statement that gained him popularity and reflected his Haitian heritage. After serving in the Marines and a stint in the music industry, China started his own successful fashion brand, influenced by the cultures of Miami, Haiti, Cuba and Colombia. An identity brand, China designs for the people who want a voice and want their clothes to do the talking. |
