Derron Cherry, also known as Bee?mbi, is making waves in the fashion industry with his avant-garde brand. Hailing from St. Louis, Cherry’s unique designs have caught the attention of celebrities like Teyana Taylor and Oprah.
Cherry’s passion for sewing dates back to his childhood, where he learned the craft from his mother and grandmother. By the time he was in high school, he was already creating stunning gowns and repurposing garments. His brand name, Bee?mbi, stems from a childhood nickname given to him by his family.
After studying at the Chicago International Academy of Design and Technology, Cherry landed a role as a tailor on the set of ‘Selma,’ which opened doors for him in the world of costume design for film and TV. He has since worked with Tyler Perry on various productions, showcasing his talent behind the scenes.
In addition to his work in film and TV, Bee?mbi has expanded his clothing line, which was recently featured at Neiman Marcus. Drawing inspiration from his trip to Africa, his latest collection, “Welcome to the Jungle,” features a mix of leather, silk, and wool pieces. Cherry’s attention to detail and touch of androgyny set his designs apart.
Excited to debut his collection at the Bomb Fashion Show, Cherry expressed his admiration for Fashion Bomb Daily and its founder, Claire. He looks forward to the future of his brand, including the possibility of opening a storefront in the near future.
As Bee?mbi continues to make a name for himself in the fashion world, his commitment to creativity and excellence shines through in every piece he creates. Keep an eye on this rising star as he takes on New York Fashion Week and beyond.
