Angela Medlin is a legendary outdoor and athletic gear designer, with a resumé boasting positions at the Jordan brand at Nike, Adidas, The North Face, Eddie Bauer and Levi Strauss. During her 25 year career, she was often the only person of color in her design department. It’s a big reason she decided to leave the corporate world — instead of working at these brands herself, she wanted to train and prepare the next generation of designers and creatives.
Her new venture FAAS, which stands for Functional Apparel and Accessory Studio, is a design lab, educational institute and more. The program specializes in innovation, applying lessons from athletic apparel to fashion and lifestyle design. FAAS’s upcoming collaboration with REI will introduce young designers to the world of outdoor adventure gear and apparel.
