= Antony Muse = Antony Muse is a up and coming known figure that can take on the title of many completed success' throughout his life. Although he is a young 25 year old, he has gone from being a college student, to clothing designer, to a relatable internet sensation. While Muse is still at the beginning of his success, he has went a long way from where he initially began in college. He is one of few who decided to pursue his dreams in the fashion realm while still attending college. Luckily, years later he has made it work as a clothing designer, by working himself into the industry through his hard work and persistent.

Early Life
Antony Muse is the son of Antony Muse, the Olympian speed roller skater and Cassandra Muse. While he had his parents as role models, he lived an ordinary childhood. Designer Muse was born on August 27, 1998 in Des Moines, Iowa. He later went into college at the University of Iowa hoping to complete a degree he was passionate about. He did end up completing his Bachelors Degree in Liberal Studies but felt like he could be doing more.

Clothing Line
While he was still in college, like many other college students Muse was heavily involved in the party lifestyle which included doing drugs at the time. He became unhappy and depressed but always continued to draw and put his drawings around his room. He mentions being inspired by the band called Laney, when he ordered a sweater from them one day. He received many compliments on the sweatshirt, but what stood out to him the most was the message the sweatshirt had that resonated with him regarding his depression. While he does not remember when he specifically began Muse Clothing, he remembers when it clicked that he can make these clothing items. Sometime during the year 2017, he began to apply his drawings by even painting some, from his room onto the clothing he started to make. This is when he started to see profit coming in from selling his work.

Work
Throughout this time of the start of Muse Clothing, rapper "Skizzy" showed interest in the brand and pieces Muse had been creating. He later then contacted the designer to take him on tour to design his merchandise and the backdrops for the meet-and-greets of the rapper. This opportunity opened muses mind even more, as he continued to thrive and in 2020 celebrity Kylie Jenner was seen wearing one of the limited edition sweaters done by designer muse. This skyrocketed his sales with the brand even more. Now, he is continuing his journey with Muse Clothing to wherever it may take him in the industry. Though he is drastically growing as a designer, he continues to do this out of love for the art of it and not the money. While Muse is the designer of Muse Clothing, he still identifies as a freelance creative, which leaves that door of opportunity open, of working with other artists or brand collaborations.
