Owner and designer of KMUN Industries™, Raphael Gandara™, and Self-Made Millionaire™, Raphael Gandara has been involved with graphic design since a very young age. He decided to focus exclusively on clothing design, when he started his first clothing company in Southern California.

At the age of twenty-three, Raphael Gandara is currently the main designer for his three elegant clothing lines: KMUN Industries™, Raphael Gandara™, and Self-Made Millionaire™. He also designs all of the clothing for each of the exclusive lines, and he oversees all business aspects himself. Originally from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Gandara moved to Southern California in 2003 to expand his network to celebrities, musicians, actors, models and people who appreciate quality clothing.

But who is this mysterious twenty-three year-old behind the designs? Gandara is charismatic, driven, and ambitious; he has a natural eye for classic style, elegance, and urban trends.

It may seem as if he is just getting started, but he has been building pop-culture empires since a young age. Gandara has an astonishing list of accomplishments under his belt, especially for only being twenty-three years old. Gandara passes an energy of confidence, elegance, and an unparalleled joie de vivre to the clients who wear his pieces.

Each of Gandara’s lines is unique and easily distinguishable as his work. It is hard to say whether the cult following is more interested in the designs themselves or in the Gandara name. Both are sought after by many, and whether your style is classic, elegant, or urban, Raphael Gandara has created or will create something for you. Much of Gandara’s clientele are Hollywood’s elite, and Gandara takes pride in creating unique pieces to cater to the styles of his individual clients.
