Jalen Fultz| Frantic Fabrics

Mr. Frantic is a self-taught designer from Columbus, Ohio, who has been sewing for 3 to 4 years. His journey into fashion began as a means of therapy, channeling the pain and trauma of life experiences into creating unique, wearable art. Inspired by personal and shared hardships, Mr. Frantic transforms these emotions into one-of-a-kind garments that tell a story of resilience and healing.

His debut show featured seven garments and an auction piece, setting the stage for his rapid rise in the fashion world.

In 2023, Mr. Frantic participated in numerous fashion shows, including Philadelphia Fashion Week, showcasing his distinctive quilt fits and innovative designs. His work, rooted in personal healing, has captivated audiences from Los Angeles to Richmond, VA. Mr. Frantic continues to use fashion as a powerful tool for self-expression and transformation.
