In 1998, Rick began to serve as a stylist for many Miss Universe, such as Wendy Fitzwilliam. During this time, Rick also served as the Creative Director and Fashion Consultant for numerous clothing brands. Later, he turned his attention to publishing and worked as a director for numerous national and international magazines and curating fashion shows.  Rick Davy’s success in both the fashion and entertainment industries gave him the opportunity to launch the BK Style Foundation in May 2006. At that time, the first Fashion Week Brooklyn show took place in DUMBO at the Tobacco Warehouse to astounding reviews and a full page spread in the NY Times--which was a first-of-its-kind for a Fashion Week Event in Brooklyn.

He frequently works with middle school, high school, and college students through sustainable workshops offered by BK Style Foundation.
