The three regions of the world with the largest apparel markets are the 28 member states of the European Union, China, and of course, the United States. One market that seems to have been underserved over the years is the streetwear sector. While several brands have come into the market to meet the diverse needs of consumers, there is still a lot of way to go in filling this gap. This is where Clark Williams is looking to change the narrative with Likemnds.
“I want to be one of the biggest fashion designers in the world one day. With clothing that lives on far past my time on earth,” said Clark Williams, founder of Likemnds.

According to Clark, the success of season 1 and 2 of Likemnds motivate to do even more. Therefore, it is not surprising that the popular internet celebrity is looking to retire as a major fashion designer after leaving the online world.
