Cordell Broadus, Snoop Dogg’s second-oldest son, is 6’3″ tall like his father and has spent his entire life in the Dogg Pound. Having grown up in the Dogg Pound, he has abandoned the music industry in favor of the international menswear runways. Cordell made his runway debut for the spring/summer 2018 men’s collection by Dolce & Gabbana in June, and he is already eager for more!

WHY THE INTEREST IN FASHION AND FILM“The fact that my father would always take us to the movies when we were children inspired me to pursue a career in film direction. Fashion allows me to freely express myself and be imaginative; similarly, I wish for children younger than me to feel secure and capable of expressing themselves. As an ambitious entrepreneur, I intend to pursue my passions for fashion and cinema. Although my personal style leans towards the masculine, I enjoy incorporating vibrant hues and an eccentric sense of confidence.ON THE TRANSITION FROM FOOTBALL TO FASHION“I began playing football for the first time in high school, and as my senior year approached, I was on the verge of quitting because I desired to be more imaginative and utilize my intellect more as opposed to being so physically demanding. ESPN called my family and asked to do that show just as I was about to quit. By the time we were on the air, my team had already won the championship, the video had gone viral, and everyone in the world recognized me as a football player; therefore, it was difficult to simply transition from football to film. I chose to attend UCLA’s summer football training program instead of USC to pursue a film education, despite my initial desire to attend USC after winning the championship. Despite making the team and attending practice, my true aspirations remained in the realm of cinema and fashion education. Consequently, now that I have the opportunity, I intend to accomplish the task at hand!  INITIAL FASHION VENTURES“I am currently the Creative Director for the Joyrich brand, and I am impressed by their spirit and vitality. The brand’s owner consented to collaborate with me on a line inspired by my father. The first round of merchandise is centered on the hip-hop styles of Los Angeles and Snoop from the early 1990s.
