What's in a name? In the case of fashion brand Spililistine, it's helping the community by design.

Created and founded by designer Steve Philostin, the title of the brand being a variation of his own name, S Philostin, its raison d'etre is that it represents what matters. Philostin explains that as a community, our voices matter, our opinions matter, our beliefs matter, and that everything we do in life is a connection.

"And we want Spililistine clothes to represent that, too, Philostin adds. "We have a lot of people in our community who want to feed the homeless, people who want to contribute to society with the Boys and Girls Club, etc. And every time you see our clothing brand, we want it to be a representation of that energy and that mindset, and that spirit. To that avail, we've created the non-profit Destiny Program, named after my 11-year-old daughter, which provides affordable housing for single mothers, veterans, the working homeless population, and even former inmates experiencing homelessness. Twenty-five percent of Spililistine sales worldwide go to the Destiny Program. We also have donors and volunteers who obtain donations for it."

The idea to create a fashion brand came to Philostin as a child watching his mother take care of eight children. While she used to get dressed up, he noticed that through the years as she had her family, she stopped and resorted to looking through catalogs like Fingerhut to purchase what she needed. Philostin started asking himself why there weren't enough men in the fashion world who would boldly grab the bull by the horns and run with leisure fashion designed for the general population.

"We design timeless pieces for anyone who is on the go that likes leisure wear," he notes. "If I had to say what our core base is, I'd probably say it's roughly between 25 and 65, although it's not really limited to any particular demographic. Anyone who enjoys these collections can find something in them that speaks to them directly and can wear it."

With the designs currently being sold only on the Spililistine website, Philostin notes that he plans to open a couple of brick and mortars in late 2027 or early 2028. Explaining that he's still trying to identify where their residency is going to be, he reveals that they are looking between New York City and Milan. Describing his brand as "quiet luxury" that represents an effortless piece that is timeless, Spililistine also makes dressy fashion. The collection is a way of effortlessly moving from place to place, which is what the clothes represent.

Philostin has two co-designers, Coco, who is based in Paris, and Choy. Spililistine has been featured in New York Fashion Week. L.A. Fashion Week, Paris Fashion Week, and Milan Fashion Week. In April, Philostin plans to take part in Tokyo Fashion Week. The four-year-old brand has been growing and gaining attention quickly, having been presented at New York Fashion Week, L.A. Fashion Week, Paris Fashion Week, and Milan Fashion Week. In April, Philostin plans to take it to Tokyo Fashion Week.

The collection is a way of effortlessly moving from place to place, which is what it represents.

Along with lower-priced pieces, it has shirts that cost around the $150 mark and dressy dresses for about $250. But, if they want, customers can just buy a pair of socks for $20. Recently, Philostin, who is a resident of Las Vegas, brought his collection home for the first time, putting on a fashion show and charity event here in the city. The fashion debut was sold out and was presented with entertainment, light bites, and raffles.

So where is this on-the-go fashion brand heading in the future?

"Put on your seatbelts," is Philostin's response.
