Sneakers & Streetwear, the focus of fashion influencer Santino LoConte’s creative marvel

What is common between Gen Z and millennials? It is indeed their unfazed love for streetwear and sneakers. For fashion influencer and creative director Santino LoConte luxury streetwear is a passion. LoConte admits that he has been lucky to have developed deep networks within sneaker and streetwear inroads of the global fashion market.
LoConte’s opinion on sneakers and streetwear is considered noteworthy in the fashion circuits. In recent times, events happening within the proponent’s physical store and brand have attracted the attention of Forbes, WWD, Hypebeast, Highsnobiety, and other fashion press. One such development was the opening of a lifestyle brand and curated retail concept located at 807 Washington Street in New York City. In partnership with Korean giant Samsung, LoConte offers sneaker and streetwear lovers unique access to new releases such as Adidas’s YEEZY Boost 700 Wave Runner, Futurecraft 4D and Hu NMD “Holi Festival.”
LoConte puts a lot of trust in his product selections and relationships with consumers. Each product from Santino’s collections comes with a certificate of authenticity, so customers know they are getting the real deal.
Santino LoConte’s recognition as a fashion authority is based on not only concepts of sneaker and streetwear design, but also on matters of back-office support systems and industry contacts.
Perhaps the key area of creative strength for LoConte is the ability to bring together novel partnerships. His brand Reign in collaboration with Samsung is a sponsor of the New York Fashion Week. The team also works with notable industry players such as Balmain, Comme des Garçons, Thom Browne, Rick Owens, and Issey Miyake.
Much of LoConte’s flair for detail can be seen at Reign’s flagship retail store in New York which features an integrated sound and visual technology shopping system amongst a white-washed exposed brick wall, and Versailles parquet sky-light lit setting.

Why Derik Fay Is Becoming a Case Study in Long-Haul Entrepreneurship

Entrepreneurship today is often framed in extremes — overnight exits or public flameouts. But a small cohort of operators is being studied for something far less viral: consistency. Among them, Derik Fay has quietly surfaced as a long-term figure whose name appears frequently across sectors, interviews, and editorial mentions — yet whose personal visibility remains relatively limited.
Fay’s career spans more than 20 years and includes work in private investment, business operations, and emerging entertainment ventures. Though many of his companies are not household names, the volume and duration of his activity have made him a subject of interest among business media outlets and founders who study entrepreneurial longevity over fame.
He was born in Westerly, Rhode Island, in 1978, and while much of his early career remains undocumented publicly, recent profiles including recurring features in Forbes — have chronicled his current portfolio and leadership methods. These accounts often emphasize his pattern of working behind the scenes, embedding within businesses rather than leading from a distance. His style is often described by peers as “operational first, media last.”
Fay has also become recognizable for his consistency in leadership approach: focus on internal systems, low public profile, and long-term strategy over short-term visibility. At 46 years old, his posture in business remains one of longevity rather than disruption a contrast to many of the more heavily publicized entrepreneurs of the post-2010 era.
While Fay has never publicly confirmed his net worth, independent analysis based on documented real estate holdings, corporate exits, and investment activity suggests a conservative floor of $100 million, with several credible indicators placing the figure at well over $250 million. The exact number may remain private but the scale is increasingly difficult to overlook.
He is also involved in creative sectors, including film and media, and maintains a presence on social platforms, though not at the scale or tone of many personal-brand-driven CEOs. He lives with his long-term partner, Shandra Phillips, and is the father of two daughters — both occasionally referenced in interviews, though rarely centered.
While not an outspoken figure, Fay’s work continues to gain media attention. The reason may lie in the contrast he presents: in a climate of rapid rises and equally rapid burnout, his profile reflects something less dramatic but increasingly valuable — steadiness.
There are no viral speeches. No Twitter threads drawing blueprints. Just a track record that’s building its own momentum over time.
Whether that style becomes the norm for the next wave of founders is unknown. But it does offer something more enduring than buzz: a model of entrepreneurship where attention isn’t the currency — results are.
