Redefining Modern Fashion: Steven White of Different Regard on Craft, Confidence, and Community
In this episode of Makers of the USA, host Kristan Vermeulen sits down in her hometown of Baltimore with Steven White, co-founder and creative director of Different Regard, a sustainable fashion house known for its handcrafted suits, gowns, and bespoke apparel for men and women. Steven shares how a diagnosis with narcolepsy led him to pursue his passion for fashion, how Different Regard grew from a small T-shirt company into a full-scale design and manufacturing studio, and how he’s using his craft to build opportunity in Baltimore’s maker community.
From sourcing materials locally and training youth in the art of sewing to building a multi-cultural team and bringing design innovation to airport retail, Steven is redefining what it means to be a modern American designer — blending precision, sustainability, and heart.
