Sir Von Childs (birth name Travon Bracey) is a multidisciplinary artist, creative director, and editor, born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, whose work exists at the intersection of fashion, editorial storytelling, and cultural advocacy. He serves as Deputy Managing Editor and Internal Creative Director at ATELIER Magazine, where he leads creative direction, editorial styling, and large-scale fashion and cultural productions that center minority excellence across fashion, beauty, arts, and design.
He is also the founder of ArtREV & Co, a multidisciplinary creative agency, established in 2013, as a powerhouse for his various of work, to focus on the intellectual experience of cultural diasporas through the elements of fashion, art, business, and design. Through ArtREV & Co, Von produces fashion shows, editorials, film productions, brand campaigns, creative workshops, and mentorship initiatives designed to create access for emerging talent—especially Black and queer creatives—into professional fashion and media spaces. Alongside fashion & contemporary arts, Von has a total of over 25+ credits in the film industry, ranging from costume design and production design to directing & cinematography experience, including his acting debut on ‘Demascus’ (2023), released in late summer 2025 on Tubi.
Von began his career at just 15 years old as a young writer, and at 17 he got his formal start in media working with VOX Teen Communications, a youth-driven publishing organization that sharpened his voice in journalism and storytelling before he entered the fashion editorial world. His early foundation evolved into professional work with notable publications including Lucky Magazine, Teen Vogue, and GQ, where he refined his understanding of fashion journalism, creative direction, and visual narrative. These experiences shaped his signature approach to storytelling—luxury in aesthetic, purposeful in message.
He holds an Associate’s degree in Fashion Merchandising from Bauder College and a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Fashion Marketing & Management from the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), grounding his creative instincts with strategic brand and marketing expertise.
In 2020, Von released his short film and performance art piece, “The Quarantine Cycle,” which went on to be featured internationally and received a Silver Medal Award at the 2021 South Africa International Short Film Festival, recognizing his work beyond editorial into visual and performance art storytelling.
His contributions to fashion media and creative leadership have earned him honors including Simply Elevated Magazine’s Best Creative Direction Award (2018) and recognition as Fashion Group International (FGI) Member of the Month (2023).
At the heart of Von’s work is advocacy. He intentionally uses his platform to champion Black women in fashion and media, ensuring their visibility, credit, and leadership within creative spaces. As a Black queer creative leader, he is committed to inspiring the next generation of Black queer artists to see themselves reflected in industries that have historically excluded them. His legacy is measured not only by the images he creates, but by the doors he opens for others.
