Tyler Neasloney is an widely recognised American Fashion designer, business owner, TV contestant on ‘Project Runway’ (Bravo) and the Special Events and Communications manager at the Ali Forney Centre, a non-profit organisation with the aim of helping homeless LGBTQ youths. He was originally from Cheyenne and graduated from the university of Wyoming. He moved to New York in 2012.
Neasloney has always been a naturally creative person; in his childhood he was interested in sewing and design. It was not until his twenties he began to feel he would like to follow a career in fashion. It took courage to make the move, as he didn’t study a formal college course in fashion. Involved in the drag world, he started to create fantastic costumes for drag queens. Through books and with help from his mother he started to learn advanced sewing. Working in his free time Neasloney started to design.
Neasloney launched his own brand in January 2019 “Tyler Neasloney New York” producing designer bags and fashions for clients. The ‘Project Runway’ TV shows showcased new designers and their lives in a fashion competition. He was able to show off his talent as he produced designs for the catwalk. He likes to design clothes that are elegant and good to wear. He has his own website: tylerneasloney.com and has launched a new collection inspired by his development on the programme.
