How BLVZE got its start



If you were to ask Anthony how he came up with the BLVZE, he would tell you it started with his rejection of work at Publix.
Soon after, Anthony quickly began to see the rise in local businesses, especially in apparel. He knew he wanted to give his ideas a shot in the real world.
“I saw other people on TikTok and Instagram having a successful clothing brands and wondered if a 15 year-old can do it too. My friends at school love and support it.
I wanted to reach out more in the community and get more people involved and it began to blow up.”

The word “BLVZE” is a play on the common word “blaze,” and for this company, means to power through obstacles and challenges. According to Anthony, the company was built on confidence, determination, and resilience.
He plans on continuing to grow his company right here in Birmingham.
“I’m just beyond grateful to have a great support system and to be able to bring Birmingham some fresh clothes. This is really exciting for me and I can’t wait for my business to continue to grow and to create more designs.”
