This is Beyond the Athlete with Carlos Boozer.

Jack McClinton

The importance of today's fashion event is for the awareness for the brand, so people can know what loaded doc, swimsuits and resorts, swimwear is. How I got involved with fashion was really just through Jack, you know, my boy Jack McClinton. Who's just my best friend, Boozer travels a lot, and my whole line is about traveling, resort wear. That's what he's about, he loves to travel, he's always on vacations, and he never had nothing to wear, so I reached out to him, like, he was like, man, it's a crazy idea. I'm down. And like that, it happened.

Carlos Boozer

I believed in him, I believed in his idea, and I immediately, you know, got involved as a kind of a silent backer. And now, uh, now it's time to show everybody. This is where you guys come in.

Uh, I really like the fashion world and I'm going to explore more options in that in that venue.
