Boris Kodjoe, best known for his role as Damon in the former hit TV series Soul Food, is dusting off his marketing degree to develop Ziami, an Internet-based clothing company.
The professional tennis player turned actor turned entrepreneur has partnered with his brother Patrick to sell custom clothing at affordable prices. (The two co-own part of the company and sit on its board of directors.)
“Ninety-six percent of Americans have never had the opportunity to buy a custom-made suit or shirt, and we’re about to change that,” says Kodjoe, a former Ralph Lauren and Yves Saint Laurent model. He’s proposing a “fashion revolution,” offering moderately priced suits starting at $99.95, shirts starting at $29.95, shoes, leather boots, diamond cuff links, and jeans.
