ith the changing of seasons, there is a plethora of new designers emerging from all over the world. One such shining star is that of Daniel Mofor. Just recently being recognized in Forbes Magazine as a Forbes 1000 which celebrates and showcases the most ambitious sole proprietors and entrepreneurial heroes in the United States, Daniel is proving to be a creative force in the men’s luxury fashion industry. His line has been featured in GQ, Esquire, Vogue, People, and the New York Times. Daniel was born and raised in beautiful Cameroon, Central Africa. As a young boy, he loved to dress up and always look his very best. Of course, being raised by his mother who was a fashion designer; the fruit did not fall very far from the tree. Though, Mofor attended school in Africa through high school; he would travel to the United States where he would attend and graduate from Texas Southern University with a bachelor’s degree in computer science and an MBA from the University of Phoenix. He would later move to Arkansas but quickly found himself returning to Texas and landing in Dallas. In 2016, Mofor took a leap of faith and made the decision to quit his job as a security analyst at Walmart committing his undivided attention and efforts to his clothing company Don Morphy, He states, “my very first break into the fashion community was the first fashion show I ever did – Fashion X Dallas. It was a huge milestone for the brand as it was basically my introduction to the Dallas fashion sphere and the rest of the world. As you can see today, it was well received.” The creation and inspiration for his brand was drawn from him traveling and observing the finest and most futuristic fashion shows in the country. By
