Derrick Lawton: “The Innovator” will present on April 11th & April 12th
“When you wear my designs, I want you not to fit in, I want you to stand out.”
Derrick Lawton, also known as Dice 700, has an inspiring journey that reflects his unique style and passion for fashion. Growing up in Brooklyn, he initially ventured into the entertainment world as a rapper and music video producer. His work in this industry not only honed his creative skills but also sparked his love for fashion when he realized he could save money on clothing by making his own designs. That’s when his brand, “700 Weirdos,” was created.
Influenced by his mother’s fashion sense, Dice aims to create pieces that allow people to feel different, rare, and unique. Every item he designs is a reflection of his innovative spirit, from stylish windbreaker suits to striking jackets that stand out in a crowd. His collections also feature comfortable yet fashionable embroidered sweatsuits, along with fun plaid miniskirts and classic button-down shirts, catering to diverse tastes and styles.
When he was asked about participating in a local fashion show, Dice expressed his heartfelt gratitude: “I feel honored and grateful to have been selected for this event.” He assures us that he is committed to delivering a beautiful and memorable show. With a blend of creativity and passion, Dice is making a significant mark on the fashion scene, demonstrating that personal style can be both expressive and transformative.
