Terrell Swan Author

Carmel Swan, a native of Hawaii, grew up a globetrotter, visiting Canada, Mexico, Europe, and Asia, with frequent trips to the Continental US, by the age of 18. Settling down in Los Angeles after studying art in college, she initially pursued a career with Arista and CBS recording companies. Born in California, Terrell Swan grew up in Texas and Mississippi before setting off on thrilling adventures around the globe. Channeling the sense of fearlessness he had - riding camels and elephants and catching old steam engine trains - into an entrepreneurial spirit, he opened Houston's trend-setting fashion boutique Cotton Club in 1982, and in 1989, he and Carmel created Swan Magic, a women's apparel company.
