The Ultrabook Project: Dork Dozier — Designer, Dancer, Singer and Entrepreneur
During his time in Sydney for the Ultrabook Project, will.i.am decided to help out his friend and Creative Consultant, Dork Dozier, launch his line of bowties. He surprised Dork with a full-blown fashion shoot on a yacht in the middle of Sydney Harbor, complete with gorgeous models and special guest photographer, will.i.am.
“I wanted to take men back to looking dope. Something as simple as a bowtie transforms what else you wear.” Dork Dozier
Dork Dozier is also full surprises and a creative force that is unstoppable. His newly launched fashion brand is part of his work as a designer at Think A Bit Bigger. His bowtie collection is inspired by his beliefs, carrying names like, “Faith,” “Love,” and “Genesis.” But fashion design is only one of his talents.
Dork is a founding member of an arts alliance appropriately named, We Are The Dorks. These “Dorks” are a collective of musicians, designers, and entrepreneurs who set out to show the world that you can be successful and still stay true to yourself. According to their website, “We all have that part of us that we dare not show, that part we have learned to suppress. So often this is the best of us.” The Dorks goal is to redefine what society deems as “cool.” After all, everyone has a little DORK in them.
As for Dork himself, he is a designer, a dancer, a singer, and a natural leader who is poised to set the world of entertainment on fire. He is embarking on his first musical endeavor with his group, The Cords.
