Rather, his origins are relatively humble, and his childhood had its fair share of difficulties.
He added that his background gives him perspective, so he’s not one to complain.
Fenoli also lets the pains of his past inform how he interacts with his fans in public.
Of course, Fenoli couldn’t belie his nature and leave the machine untouched.
“She wore the dress to work the next day,” he continued.
She also asked him to make more clothing.
There was no stopping him after that!
His stage name was Brandi Alexander, and you could see some ofhisperformanceson YouTube.
Bless the internet for its many treasures!
Who knew he could work it like that?
That, of course, was fashion design.
That helped him kill it in student competitions, where he far surpassed his peers.
That’s also why he was able to land a dream job the Monday after graduation what an overachiever!
“They later promoted me to manager to open up their new gas station/convenience store.”
Sounds like he excelled at that, too!
He had a brief stint…selling real estate?
After landing a job designing for Paul Diamond right out of college, Fenoli hit the ground running.
Talk about living the dream!
Unfortunately, his timing couldn’t have been worse.
Two weeks before his shop was set to open, Hurricane Katrina hit.
He finally decided to return to New York to work in the bridal industry.
That’s when he was hired at Kleinfeld, and the rest is history.
But who is it that Fenoli dreams of dressing for their wedding?
Of course, his answers are totally wholesome.
“I just think that [what] she stands for … it’s just beautiful.”
He especially appreciates her commitment to family and her bravery regarding her voluntary mastectomy.
Could he be any sweeter?
“I would love to see her happy and beautiful walking down the aisle someday,” he noted.
Finding inspiration in all women
So what is it that Fenoli finds inspiring?
Who does he look up to, and what does he see in them?
“I get inspired by their personal style, strength, femininity, and different personalities.”
“I’ve got grandmothers come out and just meet with me.
Team Fenoli for life!
Everyone needs a day off once in a while!
So, just where will you find Fenoli when the lights have dimmed and the cameras have stopped rolling?
How does he stay so fit?
You don’t have to look twice at Fenoli to see that he’s in fantastic shape.
So what’s his secret to staying svelte and slaying in his stylish suits?
“I have to give credit to my Mother for giving me her good genes.
Well,thatmust be nice.
Many of us have the opposite problem!
“I am also on my feet all day running around after dresses.”
Chances are he’s not chowing down on wedding cake all day, every day either.
No pressure, right?
“That is the one thing that does bother me,” he noted in an interview withWedding Market.
“If it’s not in your budget, you should NOT be trying it on!”
He’s not lying either it’s gotten his goaton the showbefore!
In fact, according toCelebrity Net Worth, he’s worth a shiny $4 million impressive!
Of course, living in New York isn’t exactly cheap.
he asked in his interview withThe New York Times.
Good question, Randy!
Getting back into the designing game
Great news, fam!
Talk about a game changer!
Fenoli’s vision for the collection was to have a wide appeal, too.
Although the line is carried at Kleinfeld, it’s not associated with them.
Rather, he outfits a variety of women young and old, slim and curvy.
So it’d only make sense that his 2018 bridal line put size inclusivity at the forefront.
“I want a dress for every size bride,” he proclaimed in an interview withThe Knot.
“My dresses go all the way up to size 30 with no extra charge.”
Finally, someone who really gets it!
And that’s not all, either.
It was something he had wanted to do for a long time.
Being your own boss definitely has its perks!
Fenoli also considered older women who might be having a second wedding while designing his collection.
