Getting to Know Khristian Michael: “From Day ‘Til Dark”/ Part One.

Meet CEO and President of 'Forever K. Micheal Collection, LLC', Khristian Michael.

After having the chance to work with Khristian Michael well before I knew who he was or in fact what he was about - I still found him interesting. This is what made me initiate the interview, not to mention I’ve always wondered what the answers to some of these questions would be. Get to know K.Michael a little more personally with me. From day until dark…


Describe who Khristian Michael is in one sentence or phrase.

“A focused and intense visionary with a relentless spirit of determination.”

Tell us more about the ‘Forever K. Michael Collection’.

Forever K Michael Collection is new brand of designer eyewear named after me ( my nickname K. Michael). It’s a brand inspired by the trials and tribulations of anyone aspiring to achieve a dream. I've ALWAYS had a passion for shades and wanted to create a product that signified my image in the music industry (Shout out to X Records). So in June of 2009, I began educating myself on the process of design, I
shopped for some distributors, landed a licensing agreement, signed some celebrities to the first campaign, and the rest is history baby!

(Laughs) Actually it's a lot more intricate than that, but that’s pretty much the gist of it.


Why designer eye-wear?

My signature look - or accessory has always been shades- from a very, very young age. As a kid I would top my outfit off with shades, and even if the other kids had nicer clothes than me, when I put my shades on I felt like the coolest cat in the school. Solie'l, I felt unstoppable...capable of achieving anything...and I still do.

I just have a real passion for shades -the look, design, hardware- and I want to see people look good and experience a sense of confidence in themselves when they wear my brand.

This is truly my way of giving back.


With the plentiful things that come with being an entrepreneur and businessman, what is a calm day for K. Michael like?

(Smiles) Hmmm...I have visions of calm days, but I really haven't seen one. Before all of this I used to love to sit in front of the fireplace on cold rainy days and just think. I also like watching the sunset, blue oceans and swaying palm trees. Beautiful, but simple things.

Watching nature, God's creations and beautiful wonders of this world gives me peace and calm days.


This image is so appropriate. "Dream Achiever".
