Amir Morgan - Aesthete Society by Design - a podcast by PDX Black Rose

Amir Morgan from Aesthete Society joins us on the PDX Black Rose Podcast for great conversation about being creative in Portland. Amir Morgan has an inventive spirit. Growing up playing baseball and basketball, Morgan always knew he wanted to work with fashion. But going to school and studying bioengineering, his plans changed from fashion to practicing medicine. It wasn’t necessarily Morgan’s idea to study medicine. His parents just wanted a secure job for him, but eventually Morgan had to listen to the voice within that said “it’s more important to have passion for a job” than job security alone. Following that passion, Morgan began to study textiles at North Carolina State University, eventually ending up at Nike in apparel innovation, and menswear among other divisions.

But that’s all he’s done. Working with fellow colleagues and friends, Morgan has collaborated with Weiden and Kennedy, Portland Art Museum and others to bring together diverse audiences around fashion, technology and art for experiential events. In addition, Morgan is now in the process of unveiling innovative bespoke clothing for men through his firm Barnes and Morgan, named for his parents.
