Artiz Lee is a true artist in all facets. Alaska is not only the home of Artiz Lee, but Artiz Lee's inspiration for his fashion and brand ideas are all built from colors, designs and culture from the northwest region along with his background. Enjoy a taste of West and East Coast styles blended throughout his collections from his shared time spent in the DMV area. The true meaning that shines behind the brand is the designers push for self-love and self-worth. At an early age the designer growing up in a environment where you don't truly fit in and trying to discover your identity sparked this purpose. His love for shoes and clothes always made him feel more confident around his peers. His grandfather, Robert Pillow Jr. was a big inspiration of his as he was always dressed to impress. He realized early that your outward appearance is important but doesn't reflect who you truly are. Many of his inner thoughts and experiences he would write in a notebook which then turned into his love for poetry as a child. It all came full circle with his first published book of poetry in 2013 called Unspoken Reality: Lessons Learned on events that came across his mind. He has now put his poetry in motion with clothing and footwear where these two products made him feel confident, comfortable, and a reason to step outside the lines. The brands importance of self-love is vital in order to spread love and positive energy to others.
