From fashion and music, to art and radio, there isn’t a terrain that Emory hasn’t crossed. Alongside Acyde Odunlami, a former marketing manager at Nike, the two created No Vacancy Inn- a global, nomadic collective featuring a medley of nightlife mixed with art and fashion, catching the likes of A$AP Mob, Virgil Abloh and GOOD Music to name a few.
The Jamaica, Queens native by way of Atlanta had a penchant for the creative world through his radical parents, who allowed him to “learn a lot about the human condition growing up.” After working a number of stock jobs, including FedEx and J.Crew, he landed a job in 2006 as the stock associate at Marc Jacobs, where he was introduced to the president, Robert Duffy. Describing the company as “socio-democratic,” he was able to work his way up and relocated to London in 2010 as the assistant manager of their collections store.
It was in London where Tremaine began creative consulting and crossed paths with Acyde, and the two began DJing, curating parties and building a reputable influencer presence themselves. After a massive layoff from Marc Jacobs, he decided to put forth all his money into what would become No Vacancy Inn, a term for an “ephemeral hotel” inviting people to the minds of his and Acyde’s.
