about bsixtee6

The creation of BSIXTEE6 by New York born Briian Dargon in 2002 is not some fantastical story of rags to riches, it simply came from him being invited to a party and not having enough money to buy something fly.

Not having a background in fashion but with an eye for color and detail, he got a little creative and designed a tee shirt that received rave reviews from a couple of people at the function who then proceeded to offer money if he were to design a tee shirt for them, well! that was a no-brainer.

In the years since, BSIXTEE6 has been featured in the September 2004 issue of Japanese Vogue, Hip Hop Artist Fat Joe's "Lean Back" music video, Singer/Songwriter "Gordon Chambers, Music Producers "Quinten Harris" and "Midi Mafia", Singer/Songwriter "Cordell McClary" , Jazz Artist "Lizz Fields , , Model "Mike Mitchell, " and fellow Designers "Shadowflack" and "Eboni Tankersley" of "Eyes 2 My Soul" fame.

BSIXTEE6 product has also been sold in Japan, London, Detroit, Atlanta, North Carolina, Virginia, California, Chicago as well as New York.

Briian says "I am in love with what I create and I hope that love comes thru in what I create, I am humbled everyday by the fact that the clients I have acquired appreciate the joy and commitment that goes into each individual piece and that each piece purchased reflects a part of their personality".

It is truly the love for the craft that keeps him excited about making new pieces. In fact, he describes the line as wearable art. No two pieces are exactly the same and every item is hand-sewn and can be customized for the client.
