In the busy city of Los Angeles, two founders, Devyn DiStasio and Tyler McConnell, have transformed their early career experiences in the fashion industry into a groundbreaking agency, Magnum Opus. They have applied their unique vision to address the challenges of design, product development, and production stages, offering a seamless product building experience for high-ticket clients.
Magnum Opus, Latin for ‘masterpiece’, is the embodiment of the founders’ mission. As McConnell and DiStasio aptly put it, they aim to create masterpieces and then execute them. Their shared vision was honed during their time building brands like Rhude and Etai.LA. They spotted inefficiencies in product launching, propelling them towards an innovative approach that spans across multiple domains.
Overcoming challenges is an integral part of any venture. At Magnum Opus Agency, problems with designs, samples, or production are taken as learning opportunities. Through years of trial, error, and systematic testing, they’ve perfected a process that alleviates the burden from product visionaries, allowing them to focus on the aspects that truly matter.
What truly sets Magnum Opus apart is their experience. Their impressive clientele, including heavyweights like Ford, Puma, Burberry, Nike, Brequet, Jordan Brand, Cherry, Louis Vuitton, and Revolve, speaks volumes about their standards of service, execution, and taste. Their accomplishments underscore their expertise in developing luxury products, which aligns with the increasing demand for such items in Los Angeles.
At the helm of the agency are the founders themselves, whose backgrounds offer distinct advantages. Devyn DiStasio, a former head menswear designer at Rhude, brings extensive knowledge in luxury goods. His experience spans from creative infrastructure solutions to intentional product design and comprehensive merchandising strategy. Meanwhile, Tyler McConnell, focusing on developing domestic and international supply chains, brings operational prowess to the agency. His ability to navigate the complex logistics of bringing products to market is instrumental to the company’s success.
The synergy between DiStasio’s design expertise and McConnell’s operational acuity forms the backbone of the agency. This combination allows Magnum Opus Agency to not only meet but surpass the expectations of their esteemed clientele, providing them with an effortless product building experience.
