Tyler, the Creator, born Tyler Gregory Okonma, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer, and fashion designer.

He first gained recognition as the co-founder and leader of the alternative hip hop collective Odd Future. Tyler's solo career began to take off with the release of his debut mixtape, "Bastard," in 2009.

Tyler, the Creator, is known for his unique and versatile style, both musically and visually, often characterized by his witty and provocative lyrics, unconventional production, and eclectic fashion sense.

He has also ventured into other creative fields, including directing music videos, creating his own clothing line called GOLF Wang and GOLF Le FLEUR, and hosting his own TV show called "Nuts + Bolts."

Tyler, The Creator Owned Brands.

I'm going to take a quick deep dive into Tyler, the Creator's name brands GOLF Wang and GOLF Le FLEUR.

In 2011 Tyler released his street wear brand GOLF Wang. He did not stop there, in 2016, he created a high-end apparel line called GOLF le FLEUR.

In contrast to his earlier brand Golf Wang, Tyler, the Creator expanded his offerings to include not only clothing but also nail polish, perfume, loafers, pleated khakis, hair picks, and suitcases.

Tyler, the Creator has collaborated with Converse to release several lines of sneakers under his label GOLF le FLEUR. These sneakers are known for their unique designs and vibrant color schemes.

The collaboration has produced various models, including the Converse One Star, which has been reimagined with Tyler's creative flair, featuring flower motifs, colorful suede uppers, and customized details.

The Golf le Fleur* sneakers have become highly sought-after among sneaker enthusiasts and fans of Tyler's style.

Converse is not the only brand Tyler, the Creator has collaborated with. Earlier on in his career he had a major collaboration with Vans that did continue.

In a new interview with DazedDigital.com he told them that he was limited in his creation process. He has now moved on from the brand.

Tyler, the Creator in 2024

Tyler is announced to be one of the headliners in the 2024 Coachella, held at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California. I am sure he will bring the best energy on stage and dazzle us with a colourful statement outfit.

He has once again taken the stage with the Louis Vuitton's Spring 2024 Men’s Collection. He was brought in by his friend Pharrell Williams who is the men’s creative director at LV.

He lets his personality shine through the designs with floral patterns and pastel pieces.
