Gilbert Olivarez
Founder & Visionary
Hey there! I’m Gilbert, the founder of Gilwest Apparel and the heart behind the “Grind Mode” movement. My journey started with a simple but powerful idea: creating apparel that motivates people to push through challenges and live with purpose.
As an entrepreneur, I’ve always believed in the hustle—it’s not just about working hard but also about staying inspired and aligned with your goals. I bring this mindset into every aspect of the brand, from designing bold pieces to building a community of like-minded grinders who embrace the grind as a way of life.
For me, Gilwest Apparel is more than a clothing line. It’s a platform to encourage others to chase their dreams, overcome obstacles, and stay focused on what truly matters. Whether it’s our signature designs or the content we share, everything we do is about empowering you to be your best self.
When I’m not in “Grind Mode” working on the brand, I’m a proud husband, dad, and a lifelong learner who’s passionate about helping others succeed.
