RHUIGI VILLASENOR SCHOLARSHIP
Rhuigi Villasenor knew he was destined for the fashion world. Coming to Los Angeles at the age of 11, he was drawn to the arts and fashion. Rhuigi knew he was on to something when he designed a t-shirt that tapped the culture and it was a hit. The black and white paisley bandana print tee sold for $200.
Shortly thereafter, Rhuigi launched Rhude, a ready-to-wear luxury brand. He launched the brand from his parents house on his mother’s laptop. Since then, the brand has become a pillar in the streetwear community. Rhude designs were spotted on Kendrick Lamar when he accepted his Pulitzer Prize, Ellen Degeneres, and A$AP Rocks. Villasenor, founder of Rhude, is currently the creative director of the brand. He was recognized by the Forbes 30 under 30 Art & Style list in 2019.
