ANTHEM, AZ, February 27, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Dale James Hinerman has been selected for inclusion in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Mr. Hinerman is recognized for his expertise in fashion, having established a notable presence in the industry through his role as founder and fashion designer of Dale James the Brand, LLC. After conceiving his business in 2017, Mr. Hinerman faced significant adversity when the California wildfires destroyed his initial plans. He subsequently relocated to Arizona and officially launched his couture-focused studio in 2021. Since then, he has managed all aspects of the brand, from concept development and fabric sourcing to trim selection and garment sewing. His dedication culminated in completing a collection for presentation in Paris, where he collaborated with a partner based in Paris to develop a distinctive and innovative ready-to-wear line, a significant shift within the competitive apparel sector.

Mr. Hinerman's professional journey is marked by a series of progressive roles that have shaped his expertise. From 2000 to 2001, he served as the recruiting director at Inscope Careers, leveraging his talent acquisition skills. Concurrently, from 1998 to 2001, he worked as a professional model with Cast Images - Model & Talent Agency, gaining firsthand experience in the fashion world. In 2000, he held the position of account manager at Corestaff Services, where he managed client relationships and staffing solutions. From 1999 to 2000, Mr. Hinerman was an account manager and technical recruiter at Cotelligent, further honing his recruitment acumen.

His earlier experience includes serving as a dedicated on-site contractor manager for Hewlett-Packard (USESC) through the ManpowerGroup® from 1997 to 1998. Between 1993 and 1997, he modeled professionally with IMM-International Model Management, and from 1995 to 1996, he worked with Stars The Agency and Thompson Model and Talent Management, Inc. in New York. In 1994, he modeled for Italy Model Management in Milan, Italy. Additionally, from 1992 to 1994, Mr. Hinerman was a partner and booking director at WIZDOM Model and Talent Management, where he played a pivotal role in agency operations.

Throughout his career, Mr. Hinerman has achieved several milestones that underscore his influence in the fashion industry. He was featured for his New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2024 collection in ELLE Magazine—a professional accomplishment of which he is particularly proud—alongside features in Glamour Magazine, Fashion Week Online® and The Fashion Channel in 2024. His work appeared in Times Square and he was selected to present an eight-piece collection at Flying Solo New York Fashion Week in 2023.

Mr. Hinerman's commitment to professional development is reflected in his memberships with industry organizations, including F.A.B.R.I.C. Incubator since 2021 and ELIANCES at the president level from 2019 to 2021, during which he participated in the ELIANCES eBrain Trust.

His academic background includes studies in textiles at Mesa Community College and coursework in botany at Humboldt State University (now California State Polytechnic University, Humboldt). This foundation contributed to his early interest in design, an interest fostered by childhood experiences of watching his mother sew sport shirts for him and his father, and by accompanying her to yardage stores. Initially entering the apparel industry through tuxedo sales after college, Mr. Hinerman's modeling career began unexpectedly when he was asked to model at bridal fairs alongside Young Miss California. This opportunity led him to international modeling assignments and eventually into agency management and fashion photography.

A defining influence throughout Mr. Hinerman's life has been his relationship with God, which he credits as central to his achievements and resilience amid personal and professional challenges. His journey has also been shaped by caring for his mother during her recovery from illness and subsequent battle with dementia, a responsibility he has balanced alongside developing his brand over the past nine years.

Mr. Hinerman's contributions extend beyond fashion into civic engagement as a volunteer prayer chaplain, a participant in recovery initiatives and a service provider for the homeless community in Santa Rosa.

He has received numerous accolades including ranking fifth in Fitness Magazine's Arizona competition; being named international style and apparel winner by LUXlife Magazine of Staffordshire England in 2023; selection as one of seventy new designers worldwide for New York Fashion Week by Flying Solo; recognition as most creative wearable art design company; luxury bespoke men's fashion design company of the year; recipient of the FABRIC Apparel Entrepreneur Scholarship from F.A.B.R.I.C. Incubator in 2021; finalist for the Designer in Residence Program Scholarship at Arizona Apparel Foundation through F.A.B.R.I.C. Incubator in Tempe Arizona in 2020; presenter at a fashion film shoot that same year; and presenter of original designs at LabelHorde Fashion Show in 2019.

Born in San Jose, Mr. Hinerman enjoys activities such as recovery work, prayer, meditation, exercise, yoga, mixed martial arts and weight training. Looking ahead, he plans to expand his couture brand by launching two new spin-offs: a ready-to-wear line featuring men's collared shirts—already secured with registered trademarks—and an innovative sportswear collection inspired by his passion for swimming. He is also exploring comfortable men's undergarments suitable for people of different ages.

Mr. Hinerman's career reflects adaptability, creativity and perseverance, qualities that have earned him recognition within the global fashion community while allowing him to make meaningful contributions both professionally and personally.
