Dequincy Atterberry
Podcast Co-Host, IFC Instructor
Dequincy Lavar Atterberry, was born in Charleston, S.C. in March of 1990. His parents, Doris and Eugene Atterberry, nurtured this young designer and equipped him with a spirit of relentless fortitude that destined him for success. His humble upbringing in the rural town of Dorchester SC, along with siblings, his brother, Quenton and his sister, Ladovia, allowed Dequincy the time and opportunity to unveil his innate creative ability. His love of singing and dancing substantiated his self-confidence and unknowingly, that love, lead him to pursue a career in fashion design. In 2013, Dequincy graduated with honors from Bauder College in Atlanta GA with a degree in fashion design. That accomplishment led to an amazing opportunity to intern with an established company in Georgia. As such, that opportunity propelled him to start designing full time. Today, the DequincyLavar label is one of the new, up and coming fashion icons in the industry.
