Born in New Orleans Louisiana, Damian Duplessis aka Deno V Flyy took on the love of fashion at an early age. "I can remember being about 8 years old when my mother purchased my brother and I our first seersucker suit for Easter. She accompanied it with a yellow shirt, blue bow tie and white and black saddle oxford shoes. I remember all the compliments we received from family and church members and I knew from there I always wanted to dress to impress." From then on he picked up his mother's talent.
Having the reputation as being a "good dresser", Deno decided to open a clothing store with childhood friend. The store instantly became a hot spot in eastern New Orleans. "When we first decided to open, we had a hard time getting the hot labels to distribute to us. That's when my fashion instincts kicked in. I knew it was not about the name on the clothes, but the fit and how we put it together. That will get us customers." Business began to increase. The company gained vendors, personal stylists, and local celebrity clientele. Deno now resides in California, where he is further establishing what he calls, "The Flyy Movement". His motto is "Swagg Begins with Confidence. While it's cool to duplicate another persons style, it's genius to create your own." Deno V Flyy |
