When he couldn't find the right clothes to fit his towering stature, he decided to make his own and launched his namesake fashion line.
Soon, he was dressing A-List celebrities and NBA stars - including LeBron James himself.
Boswell believes you need to be the change you want to see. For him, that means diversifying the fashion industry from his sketchbook to the red carpet.
