Angel Brinks Is 41 Years Old
Angel Brinks was born on October 19, 1982, in Los Angeles, California, United States. Her birth sign is Libra and she is an American citizen based on the fact that she was born in the country. Angel Brinks’ ethnic identity is not as straightforward as her national identity as can be seen from the color of her skin and the fact that she has Armenian and Italian roots.
Angel Brinks often speaks of her upbringing and how her family provided the platform for her to achieve all that she has at the moment, but on none of those occasions has the fashion designer disclosed the identities of her birth family members, including her parents or any siblings she might have.
Details of Brinks’ formal education background are limited to the fact that she received a fashion design and merchandising degree from the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising in Los Angeles, California. Although we have yet to establish a timeline for this academic feat, the plethora of information and knowledge she acquired during her time at the institute has served her well as a fashion designer and expert.
Angel Brinks Rose To Fame Following Her Appearance On Basketball Wives LA
Angel Brinks’ tumultuous, off-and-on relationship with NBA free agent, Tyreke Evans, gave her the opportunity to appear on the American reality TV show, Basketball Wives LA. Up to that point, she was relatively unknown to the general public, but her popularity skyrocketed after she made her debut in the show’s 4th season.
Her performances and the uniqueness of her personality convinced the show’s runners to upgrade her to the main cast, but she ended up leaving after Season 5, around the time her relationship with Tyreke ended.
After spending several years away from the VH1 show, the 41-year-old business owner agreed to make an appearance in the 10th season of Basketball Wives LA in 2021. She returned alongside her current boyfriend, rapper Roccstar, who was reportedly cheating on her at the time.
The rumors, while unsubstantiated, were enough for the show runners to build a storyline around, hence the decision to bring the fashion designer and her man on the show.
Angel Is A Fashion Designer And An Entrepreneur
While she most certainly made some money from her time on Basketball Wives LA, Angel Brinks’ primary source of income has always been and remains her thriving fashion design and merchandising career. As a matter of fact, her time on the show provided ample publicity for her business.
To provide a little background information on Angel Brinks’ journey into the fashion world, it is important to point out that her love for fashion was developed at a very young age. She spent most of her free time at the foot of her grandmother, who inspired her fashion journey by teaching her how to sew.
Several years after acquiring her fashion design and merchandising degree, Angel Brinks further developed her fashion skills before launching her fashion company, Angel Brinks’ Fashion Company, in 2010. Her brand provides fashionable, edgy, and sexy designs such as leggings, ball gowns, bodysuits, jackets, and many more.
The talented designer expanded her fashion repertoire in 2017 when she launched her organic skincare line which features organic skin care products such as cleansers and body scrubs.
The bulk of her clientele are women, but she occasionally designs men’s outfits, including jackets and pants. She launched her children’s line in 2013, another step in the right direction that has yielded immense dividends. Brinks has displayed her artistry at several fashion shows, including New York Fashion Week, Facet Studios Fashion Show, and many more.
The premise that no publicity is bad publicity was proven to be true when the fashion designer’s former co-stars on the VH1-televised show branded her a gold-digger during her relationship with Tyreke Evans and belittled her fashion design career. Their schemes only served to win to her side various celebrities, who were willing to give her an opportunity to showcase her pedigree as a premium fashion designer.
Brinks’ first high-profile client after the Basketball Wives LA debacle was singer and rapper, Cardi B. The I Like It singer was less than pleased with the treatment Brinks received from her former co-stars and hired the designer to style her for two key events to shut up the naysayers.
Cardi B looked resplendent in the two outfits Angel Brinks made for her, one for her first appearance at the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards, and the other for her appearance at the Mayweather vs McGregor fight later that year.
The talented designer remains grateful to the WAP rapper for her support and trust because she has since provided fashion services to several well-known names in the entertainment industry and beyond such as Heidi Klum, Megan Thee Stallion, Trina, Missy Elliot, Lil Kim, Doja Cat, Saweetie, and several others.
