Jenero DeRio

Son of many nations...descendant of the Bantu, Mende, father of universal style and native to Atlanta. The great great grandson of Angola and great grandson of Colombia is a living archive of the African journey into the New World and the guide to lifestyle in the modern world. Jenero DeRio is the founder of "Estilo." It is the most comprehensive cultural concept for the modern male from fashion to fatherhood.

DeRio's life is as diverse as his heritage groomed by an always well-dressed father as a child and a mother who ushered in his early debut into the fashion scene hosting fashion shows that landed pictorals for Kessler's, JC Penny's and Sears. Ebony magazine captured his passion for Latin dance in a feature story on the rise of salsa in the African American community and his moves made their way into the instructional AfriSalsa video.
