About the creator
Know as the most diverse designer of our times...
From watching his mother sew clothing for him as a child, Earnest began modeling his mother’s craft, at only five years old. Following his heart and using extraordinary imagination, Earnest began designing at the age of twelve.

Unbeknownst to everyone, Earnest suffered the loss of family, friends, and the love of his life. The depression started to show his ugly head and Earnest struggled by all possible means to prevent it from taking over his life. Earnest wrote his way out from the darkness.
Earnest: I was starting to be physically ill as I covered my emotions, I had nowhere to turn. Everyone was looking to me for signs that things were going to be okay. Nobody ever asked me how I was doing, but I was always there to cheer everyone up. One morning I picked up my phone pulled up the notes section and typed: What do I have to be Thankful for?” After a few weeks passed, I met with a dear friend that convinced me to have the work published and thus “Thankful” was born.

Client: “Women have basic underwear, Lingerie and extreme vulgar under garments.
