Sagging To Swagging Suit Style

DeMario “Mr. Rio” Walker is a man of distinction with great style, born February 17, 1987 in Greenville South Carolina. As a child Mr. Rio always had a unique way of style when it came to dressing.  Influenced by his grandfather, over the years he developed his own sense of style and love for wearing suits. After serving four years on active duty in the United States Marine Corps, he returned home to help with his sick mother and raise his children.  Upon his return, he became actively involved in his local church and community in searching for ways to give back and make a difference in young male’s lives. During this time Mr. Rio took interest in modeling and acting. After posing for several photographers, from men’s causal fashion to business and suit attire, he knew that he could use these skills to impact others.  His youngest of four and only song, gave him inspiration to teach him and other young males the importance of dressing and carrying themselves as gentlemen.  The current trend of wearing pants beneath the waist disgusted him, and he came up with a vision to teach others how to wear a suit properly.  With that vision, Mr. Rio created an organization, “Saggin to Swaggin Suit Style.”  The purpose of Saggin to Swaggin Suit Style is to inspire, teach and makeover young men of all ages on suit attire. Saggin to Swaggin Suit Style will also cover various topics such as etiquette, ties, and accessories.  Makeovers will consist of a full transformation from Saggin to Swaggin Suit Style, and participants will be able to give testimonials once completed. He holds firm to his motto: “Every male should own at least one suit.“ His plan is to begin with a transformation fashion show of 10 males on July 16th at the Phyllis Wheatley Community Center.
