About Corn Coast

Established in 2015 in Lincoln, Nebraska. Corn Coast Co. is a lifestyle clothing brand built to prove that culture does not belong only to the coasts — it can be grown anywhere.

Founded by Khaleefa "HAKIM" Muhammad — Designer, Founder, and CEO. Corn Coast was born from a vision to give voice to places and people often left outside of mainstream fashion. What began as a personal creative pursuit has evolved into a brand rooted in identity, craftsmanship, and the quiet power of building something where nothing was promised.

Raised in the Midwest, HAKIM designed Corn Coast as both a reflection and a rebellion — honoring the discipline, grit, and humility of his environment while challenging the idea that world-class style must come from global fashion capitals. Every collection is shaped by this duality: grounded yet aspirational, simple yet intentional, local yet globally minded.

Corn Coast pieces are designed to be worn, lived in, and carried forward. We believe clothing should not just look good — it should mean something. From fabric selection to fit, every garment is built to hold up to real life, real movement, and real ambition.

Our Mission & Vision

Corn Coast exists to empower individuals to make waves where there is no ocean — giving voice, confidence, and style to creators who build their own path beyond the spotlight.

Rooted in Midwest values of grit, integrity, and work ethic, we are building a globally respected lifestyle brand that proves geography does not limit influence. Through thoughtful design, elevated essentials, and authentic storytelling, Corn Coast represents those who turn overlooked places into sources of originality and strength.

Our vision is to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the world’s most respected fashion houses while remaining deeply connected to the communities that shaped us — uplifting underrepresented voices and proving that greatness can grow anywhere.
