About (request update)

Lights, Camera, Action: Zoe Dupree Your On!
Fashion is as Fashion does, and lets say Mr. ZOE DUPREE is making it
do what it do! From a simple dreamer to conquering all dreams… this
anticipated rising Celebrity Fashion Stylist has been trampling the
walls of what is known as Hollywood and has left many very impressed,
Stefon Allen (a.k.a) ZOE DUPREE has always been a dreamer, but
recently there has been no reason to dream when its currently your
reality! This ambitious, young man has given a whole new definition
to NETWORKING and GRIND.
Raised in Norristown, PA a suburb of Philadelphia. PA Stefon has always had a keen sense
of style as far as he can remember. In his eyes what appears different
to others made perfect sense to him, and that's something he embraced;
Stefon says: "my style I would say is a mixture between very Modern
and Pop" and "I just wear what makes me happy at the end of the day",
but please don't let the well-taylored, star-studded appearance, twist
your reality, Every diamond has its rough, and before you can "SHINE
BRIGHT LIKE A DIAMOND", you have to go through all kinds of pressure
and being smashed repeatedly.

"Sitting watching my mother sacrifice so much of herself for me, made
her become my biggest drive", is what Stefon said, "
My father was never really in the picture", "I had small interaction
with my father, but it always focused around money issues", "there
were never really any "Im proud of you or pats on the back" Talking about his past, how he watched his
mother struggle, and make sure he had all that he needed even when she
didn't have anything, and putting him through school, made him
realize he was destined for greatness, the same thing he would tell
his mom repeatedly, also seeing his mother struggle gave him his first
taste of ambition! "All the fashion and industry isn't new to me
simply because I wanted this all my life", Opening up about his
involvement in the industry, Stefon. let us in on how he remembered
sneaking out of his mothers house to skip school and catch the train
to Downtown Philly, New Jersey, or New York to network and make
different connections, even attend meetings with major industry moguls
just because he loved entertainment so much, ending up in all kinds of
places; even landing a small spot in a Jay Z and Freeway video and at
16 any progress was great. Always aiming for the BOSS man spot he was
turned away often for being too young, but it never stopped him from
letting these people know that he was going to be great, and this
isn't the last time you'll see him.

Well Stefon was right because he went on to do many great things like
set the tone for his family by being the first to college graduate and
receive a degree without falling into the stereotype of his family;
and he's still moving, slowly, yet quickly conquering his dream of
becoming a Celebrity Fashion Stylist; Landing major clients like
Fantasia, Lil Mo, SWV, Maia Campbell, French Montana an a bunch of great celebrities. He also does a lot networking at private and backstage
events, and just meeting all kinds of new people. "If its anything I
want people to take from this interview its that GOD is GOOD and he
gets all the credit, I get none its good to recognized but I'm just
doing what GOD made me to do, I prayed to him, left my problems on the
alter and look where I am today". One Thing Stefon really likes to
make clear is his relationship with GOD, he even said " I want to be a
different stylist, I really want to pray with my clients, work, and
just discuss the goodness of GOD's Blessings". He went into how 7
months ago before all these blessing started taking place he was in a
really low spot, he steadfast, prayed, and continued to go to church
but the stress of not being able to find a Job, facing the peak of
eviction from his home, transportation malfunctioning on him, having
to reach out to others for help and having the doors closed on his
face, family turning there backs on him took its toll but at the same
time it made him push harder for the success he wanted. ZOE DUPREE
focus is telling the world and the generation to come never stop
dreaming because they do come true, ZOE said he would like use the
gift from GOD to tell his story to inspire the next person to strive
for their goals! Mr. ZOE DUPREE Left us with 2 things a quote "Fashion
Fades, But Style is Eternal" and some encouraging words stating "Im
Not trying to make anyone go to church, but you need to pray and talk
to GOD let him show you somethings".
