OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE · PROPOSED FOR APPROVAL
EPITOMEXR UNVEILS AN OAKLAND-BORN PLATFORM FOR FASHION, IDENTITY AND FUTURE XR EXPERIENCES.
OAKLAND, Calif. — Harold Desmond IV, founder of The Epitome Clothing Company, has introduced EpitomeXR.com as the central public destination for a growing ecosystem that connects premium physical streetwear with a long-term vision for interactive apparel, wearable technology and immersive retail.
Built on the foundation of The Epitome Clothing Company, established in 2015, EpitomeXR brings together physical apparel available for purchase, living Element experience concepts, the VizorXR wearable-interface vision, the DesmondsXR retail concept and an activation framework designed for future digital product identity.
The platform clearly separates products available now from prototypes and future XR concepts. The distinction reflects Desmond’s commitment to presenting the vision boldly while remaining transparent about what has and has not yet been physically validated.
“We don’t rent the future. We build a lane into it.” — Harold Desmond IV
Desmond’s founder journey is also featured in Next Level CEO, the business education series hosted by entrepreneur and FUBU founder Daymond John. The official feature explores resilience, creativity, entrepreneurship and the discipline of turning ideas into action.
EpitomeXR is seeking aligned manufacturing, engineering, investment, media and community partners to help advance apparel production, prototype development and accessible XR experiences.
