Our Story

It all started with three ambitious teens who wanted to share their vision with the world through one of its most modern and expressive forms: clothing.

Visions Attire, a locally-owned clothing brand, was founded in 2016 in Pittsburgh, PA, with a mission to inspire individuality and self-expression. By February 2017, we launched our first product, the “Floral Long Sleeve,” which sold out almost immediately. This success marked the beginning of our journey to redefine personal style.

But why the name Visions? Because every individual has a unique vision of life—a personal perspective that shapes their dreams and future. As human beings navigating through everyday challenges, our brand reminds everyone to embrace their vision and manifest it boldly.

So here’s the core of our vision: BE YOU!

Owning a clothing line has always been a dream for the three of us, and with your support and encouragement, we’ve grown and continued to thrive every single day. This incredible journey is just the beginning.

About Us

Founded in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Visions Attire began with three high school juniors who had a shared dream. Today, our products are recognized both locally and internationally. Thanks to an amazing community of supporters, we’ve expanded our reach, making our brand accessible to more people across the globe.

Our journey has brought us into contact with countless inspiring individuals and companies, each with their own unique vision. Together, we’ve built a global community of young creatives united by a shared desire to express themselves and leave their mark on the world.

Founders

Devyn "Gio" Giovengo

Better known as “Gio,” Devyn Giovengo has always had a knack for business. In seventh grade, he started a shoe restoration business that quickly gained traction, amassing nearly 1,000 likes on Facebook. Through childhood transitions and changing schools, Gio met Derrek and Mikel during ninth grade at Montour High School. When Mikel shared his dream of doing something big, Gio was all in. With their shared passion for clothing, Visions Attire became their focus.

Gio’s entrepreneurial journey didn’t stop there. He’s now an alum of Thiel College ‘22, holding bachelor’s degrees in Business Marketing and Business Management, as well as a certificate in Entrepreneurship. He also owns The Urban Anatomy, a media/production company.

Mikel Battles

Mikel Battles, a Pittsburgh native, has always aspired to be a person of influence. His hustle started early, with lawn mowing, snow shoveling, and later working as a soccer official at age 13. By 15, he had his first job at Panera Bread, later working alongside Gio at Burgatory.

Interestingly, Mikel and Gio’s friendship began after nearly clashing over a basketball game during their freshman year. That same year, Mikel told Gio he wanted to “do big things, bigger than anyone in this school could ever imagine.” Together, they pooled their money, skipped a wrestling practice, and ordered their first-ever product—the “Floral Long Sleeve.” From that moment, Visions Attire became history in the making.

Mikel graduated from Slippery Rock University in 2022, continuing to pursue his dreams with the same determination that started it all.

Visions Attire isn’t just a clothing brand; it’s a movement. It’s about celebrating individuality, embracing your vision, and daring to be yourself. Join us as we continue to grow and inspire others to find their own vision and make it a reality.
