Eager to enhance his profile, she paid for a few ads in major magazines, including a full-page ad in a Los Angeles regional issue of Vogue. In a 2020 interview, Edwards claimed that he was the first local Black designer to have a full-page ad in the magazine. A model wearing one of his black floral pantsuits was featured with the tag line “The New ‘It’ Designer” and his name in capital letters.
All in all, Edwards’ designing career was “his world. That’s what he lived for,” his sister Aretha said Monday. “All these celebrities like Tiffany Haddish were not just celebrities. They were his friends. That was Stevie’s heart. What hurt him most was when he couldn’t continue his career. He hadn’t been able to do that was since the first of this year.”
Growing up, Edwards would talk about clothing with one of his brothers, Donnie, who was not a designer, but who was a man of fashion, according to his sisters. The youngest, Edwards later passed that on to the next generation by mentoring one of his nephews, LaShawnn David Edwards. The latter is a full-time public school employee, who pitched in at Edwards’ company and also has his own collection on the side.
