As gala season approaches and the city prepares for nights of high glamour and black-tie brilliance, one name continues to define elegance, confidence, and timeless sophistication: Montee Tayion Holland, founder and CEO of The Tayion Collection.
For more than two decades, Holland has been dressing men who understand that true style is more than what you wear—it’s how you carry yourself. His designs embody that belief. Each suit, jacket, and accessory from The Tayion Collection is cut with precision, rooted in heritage, and finished with the kind of flair that commands a room.
And this year, as the red carpets unroll and Detroit’s gala season comes alive, Montee Tayion is poised to make another powerful statement. His latest collection captures everything the modern gentleman stands for—confidence, refinement, and individuality. From sleek midnight tuxedos to bold patterned dinner jackets, The Tayion Collection offers the perfect ensemble for every black-tie affair. Whether it’s an awards gala, a holiday fundraiser, or a high-profile networking night, Holland’s creations are designed to ensure the wearer doesn’t just attend the event—he owns it.
But fashion for Montee has never been just about fabric or fit. It’s about transformation. It’s about helping men step into their best selves. As a Marine Corps veteran and self-made entrepreneur, Holland knows that discipline, perseverance, and presentation can change lives. “When a man puts on one of my suits, I don’t just want him to look sharp—I want him to feel unstoppable,” Holland says. “Because confidence is the one thing that never goes out of style.”
The future for The Tayion Collection looks as sharp as the suits themselves. With a growing national presence through retailers like Macy’s and partnerships with major industry players such as Peerless Clothing, the brand is expanding its reach far beyond Detroit. Holland’s bold move into digital retail and international distribution signals that this is only the beginning of his global vision.
Moreover, his designs are finding new audiences among younger professionals who appreciate craftsmanship and authenticity in an era of fast fashion. His signature blend of classic tailoring and contemporary edge bridges generations, proving that style—and success—never go out of season. “Fashion is storytelling,” Montee adds. “Every collection tells the story of where we’ve been and where we’re going. I’m just grateful that my story—and my brand’s story—is still being written.”
As we step into this year’s gala circuit, one thing is certain: Montee Tayion Holland and The Tayion Collection are not just dressing men for the occasion—they’re defining what elegance means in a modern world. His story, his vision, and his unwavering commitment to excellence remind us that while trends fade, true style—and true greatness—always endures.
