Smart by Design: Guy's Story



Guy Wood in his company headquarters

 Guy Wood is the talented designer behind the custom-made designs of 5001 FLAVORS, a custom-made apparel company that has supplied the entertainment industry with tailored clothing of the highest caliber since 1990. Guy was born, raised and educated in New York City's historic community, Harlem. But Guy's current position in the spotlight, as the fashion genius behind many of today's hottest celebrities wasn't an accident it was a choice...

'I didn't go the college but committed myself to work hard and honest to get ahead. Always had a great work ethic just knew that college was not for me. After working full time out of high school, I started my own consulting business with several partners almost 20 years ago after realizing that the type of success and self-fulfillment I wanted would never come from working for some one else. I always loved fashion and looking fly and loved the idea of being paid to do something I loved. Finding a way to get paid for something you love and would do for free is great. I love working with my celeb and athlete clients. Surrounding myself with positive people doing positive things is also one of the things that has helped me become the man I am today. Growing up in Harlem in the 70's and 80's I saw a lot of negative influences and know a lot of people that aren't here right now due to a number of bad choices. I made a conscious decision after seeing some close friends make some poor choices that I was going to surround myself with people doing great things. Great opportunities come when you surround yourself with greatness."

An Original Smart Guy,

Mr. Guy Wood
