The Secrets to Building a Brand That Lasts | Sommer Time Podcast

The Secrets to Building a Brand That Lasts | Sommer Time Podcast

Before the flagship store in New York City and the curated collections, Ron David was just a kid from Cleveland with an eye for style. On this episode of Sommer Time Podcast, host Sommer Hill sits down with the fashion designer and entrepreneur to unpack his journey from Howard University to building a luxury brand that’s redefining Black excellence in fashion.


Ron shares what it really takes to create a brand with staying power, from saving money while others partied, to mastering the art of curation, to offering clients not just clothing, but a full luxury experience. They dive into authenticity, sacrifice, and why brand architecture matters more than hype.

🎧 Tune in for:

How Ron went from retail to real estate to fashion empire

The sacrifices behind building a 10-year brand

Why experience is just as important as the product

His take on fast fashion vs. luxury — and why both matter

What’s next for Ron David, from Fashion Week to his 10-year anniversary


✨ This isn’t just about fashion. It’s about mindset, discipline, and building something bigger than yourself.
