Born & raised in Dallas, Darius moved to Norman Oklahoma in 1987 after graduation from Lake Highlands High School to attend the University of Oklahoma.  It was during this important time in college that darius confirmed it was the world of fashion design that was his calling. The brand appropriately named Darius Cordell is a fashion company of couture clothing that produces lovely beaded pageant gowns.  We have manufactured our very own pageant gown designs with the kindest of care since 1996.   The thriving company recently relocated back to Darius' native home where he has experimented selling his pageant dresses to contestants, directors and consultants.  Some of his former clients have competed in the Mrs. World America, Teen USA, Miss Texas pageants and other various states in the region as well as throughout and across the country.  

Now that the world wide web internet has become so wide spread darius cordell designs can reach pageant gown competitors wearing pageant dresses in countless regions across the world via our on line catalog where hundreds of photos of our collections can be viewed 24/7.  However most of our pageant gowns are made to order since there are not too many people who seriously compete in these pageants that want to wear something that anyone else has already worn.  For years we focused primarily on pageant dresses.  Later on our focus moved towards mother of the bride and formal evening wear.  And now that we are in a new location we are going back to our roots and have turned our focus back to select pageant dress users in the Metroplex area in addition to marketing to top contestants in other parts of the miss usa group, Teen competitions, Universe & Global pageantry, Mrs pageants and Miss America systems.  

We still offer our clothing wholesale to qualified retailers for resale via regional markets for even further exposure nationwide.  However the direct consumer response for teens and women needing pageant gowns locally and via mail order through the internet has been really great.  Our private designer studio where appointments can be taken to order pageant dresses is perfectly located with in the fast growing city of Frisco which is approximately twenty miles just north of Dallas Texas.   We are stationed and work from the hackberry office complex by appointment only.

Our pageant gowns and other formal wear garments are elegant and sophisticated so they can be worn for other important special occasion events other than for pageant wardrobe.  Our evening dresses and ball gowns are timeless and have proven so by many of the people who contact us and order repeatedly each year.  There was a time when these types of items were considered very stagey and over beaded but we have continuously tried to make sure our product was understated and simple yet with a powerful stage presence.
