TYDAL: To build a culture for those that Rise by Perseverance

The fitness world is such a huge culture and to see a local Colorado company taking the fitness world by storm with such stylish and simple pieces, sure is inspiring! Let’s learn a little bit more Tyler Bently and his company TYDAL.

What inspired your love for fashion and fashion design?

What inspired me the most for fashion and fashion design is the idea that I can create something from nothing that people enjoy wearing. I’m also inspired by designers that create pieces that create trends rather than follow them. 2 such designers include Jerry Lorenzo and Daniel Patrick.

What is the first thing you ever designed?

The first thing I designed was a t-shirt that featured a digitally printed design of a woman in a ski mask shushing the viewer. My brand began as street wear and later transitioned to athletic wear. 

How long have you been designing?

5 years.

 Did you go to school for design or are you self taught?

Self taught.

 Who is/are your biggest inspiration/s? (Family, Friends, Designers, etc…)

My family has been my biggest inspiration for their continued support, entrepreneurial drive, and creativity.
