A Mississippi Coast clothing line recently graced the shoulders of a celebrity featured in an international magazine.

Actor Nico Santos’ stylist Kimberly Goodnight matched the bold, fun prints of Gulfport’s Aloha Glamour with an actor as unique as the brand.

Aloha Glamour’s African-print robe, shirt and fan brought originality, color and style to the Da Man Magazine photo shoot of Santos, who is best known for his roles in the hit movie “Crazy Rich Asians” and the NBC comedy series “Superstore.” He also plays a role in the Marvel movie “Guardians of the Galaxy.”

Aloha Glamour, a Black-owned business at Gulfport Premium Outlets, specializes in colorful clothing that blends traditional African and Hawaiian prints with modern designs, creating a unique and stylish look that appeals to a wide range of customers. Pieces like those featured in the shoot are unisex and work for any age.

“We were thrilled to see outstanding actor Nico Santos wearing our clothing for the Da Man shoot,” said Alexis Williams, owner of Aloha Glamour. “It’s an unexpected honor and an exciting opportunity for our brand to gain national exposure.”

The exposure won’t stop at U.S. borders. Since Da Man Magazine started in 2007, the Indonesia-based, English-language magazine has been a popular men’s fashion and lifestyle publication throughout Asia.

With this unexpected exposure, the brand hopes to attract new customers and expand its reach.

“We’re a small, local brand, so this kind of exposure is a huge deal for us,” Williams said. “We hope that people will see Nico Santos wearing our clothing and be inspired to try out our designs for themselves.”
