​Designer David Jon Acosta first found his passion as a clothing designer while bored at work and doodling in Photoshop. After printing T-shirts for himself and his friends, the contemporary and flirty graphics were catchy enough that people both noticed and demanded their own.

While only 25 years old, Acosta is a rising star whose clothing line, Gold Saturn, has been featured in Teen Vogue, Paper, and Nylon magazines. His creations reflect his life experiences, like his most recent Road Trip collection, which takes the approach of staying true to your hometown while still being enchanted by other cities. The newest collection will be featured on the runway at Grand Central nightclub this Saturday. We spoke with the designer about keeping it real and loyal to Miami and Kourtney Kardashian wearing a Gold Saturn design on national television.



Most recently, Kourtney Kardashian wore the studded black turband. She wore that while filming her show with her sister Kim, they were filming Kourtney and Kim Take New York. They were filming the premiere episode when she wore it and that airs on January 23, which is actually the day after my fashion show.

What's next for Gold Saturn? 

This coming spring, the turbands are coming in snakeskin patterns, they're coming in lace. I'm introducing the lace style, which is really, really, really adorable. Also, for me, when I first started, was all about tank tops and T-shirts, and now I'm kind of developing dresses, now with this Road Trip collection, I introduce body suits.

So, with upcoming collections, I want to do new styles, but keep everything graphic and comfortable and casual. You know I'm never going to be designing red carpet gowns, because living in Miami, that's not really the lifestyle I partake in. You can always expect Gold Saturn to be comfortable and casual, but I still want to reinvent ready-to-wear, casual wear, and resort wear and things like that. I've always wanted to do maybe like beach blankets and beach totes, things that evoke the Miami lifestyle.

Presented by Mr. X, Gold Saturn will be featured on the runway at Grand Central (697 North Miami Ave., Miami) this Saturday at 11 p.m. with music by DJs Mike Deuce and Jessica Who?. Visit goldsaturn.com.
