Travis Winkey is a fashion icon and runway coach who lives in the Parkway neighborhood. Born and raised in Baltimore, he got his start putting on fashion shows locally in the 1970s. His fame spread as his fashion shows grew more popular and as he became a highly in-demand runway model coach, leading him to be dubbed the “Black Prince of Fashion” by Muhammad Ali. Winky’s signature coaching style was highly influential on the world of runway fashion. His work has taken him to fashion capitals like Paris and Milan, but it has also brought models from all over to his studio and home in Greater Mondawmin.
