Houston-based designer Demitric “D” Simmons, founder of DCASSO Custom Designs, made his runway debut at New York Fashion Week, presenting the brand’s Bespoke Collection under the direction of The Bureau. The debut showcased Simmons’ transformation from master barber to rising force in luxury menswear, solidifying DCASSO’s presence on the global fashion stage.

Simmons’ career began in Channelview, Texas, where he built a loyal client base as a barber known for precision cuts and sharp personal style. Inspired by client interest in his tailored suits, he launched DCASSO Custom Designs, a brand synonymous with craftsmanship, individuality, and bold style. Without formal fashion training, Simmons studied garments, fabrics, and construction techniques, mastering the art of bespoke tailoring.

The Bespoke Collection blends timeless elegance with modern edge, featuring custom suits, women’s wear, textured fabrics, and statement overcoats. Each design reflects Simmons’ philosophy that clothing is a personal introduction, shaping impressions and projecting confidence. Models showcased the pieces on a runway attended by fashion insiders, industry leaders, and international media, demonstrating the brand’s commitment to style, precision, and innovation.

DCASSO’s clientele includes corporate executives, artists, and public figures seeking custom designs tailored to both their bodies and lifestyles. The New York Fashion Week debut marks a significant milestone for the Houston-based brand, which plans to expand into new cities and create a luxury retail and lifestyle space combining fashion, grooming, and personalized service.

Simmons’ journey from Houston barber to fashion designer highlights the city’s creative energy and the opportunities for local entrepreneurs to make a mark on the global stage. DCASSO Custom Designs continues to elevate Houston’s influence in luxury fashion while staying true to its foundation of craftsmanship and bold, individualized style.
