Random Acts of Style
So we thought that we'd check in and share one of our random fashion edits. The pair of jeans below was used in the Blackout Fashion Extravaganza, we decided to pair it with the "Y" Design but before that could be done we had to enhance the jeans to compliment the tee. As shown below is a random stylistic piece that was done by simply using fabric glue and strips of material in there respective colors (red,yellow,green):
Most people ask what's the purpose of the red, yellow and green on the tee along with the logo, well the inspiration for the red, yellow and green came from the
The colors themselves represent a deeper meaning , we were paying homage to Africa
Black represents the people of
Red stands for the blood of the people that was shed
Gold is for the land that was stolen from them

We consider this a tribute to their history and future, to their strength and perseverance. So when you're rockin' our apparel we want you to understand the

Hip Hopizm
On March 26th (I know this article is overdue) we attended an event at NOVA Southeastern University being hosted by the Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority, Inc. Gamma Delta Chapter called
The event gave an overview of the definition of Hip Hop, a little synopsis on the history of Hip-Hop; Cool fact: Hip-Hop originated in the Bronx, New York (pause here for loud applause and celebration) by a Jamaican D.J. Clive Campbell also known as "Kool Herc" who was born in 1955 at Kingston, Jamaica. The event also spoke of graffitti or tagging that started in Philly during the 1960's and found its way into NYC by the 1970's. But the coolest thing about this night was the choreographer they brought (I believe his name was Andre.......)who demonstrated,taught, and allowed us to practice some basic yet cool Hip Hop moves to some banging joints.
The event on a whole was enjoyable and we'd like to thank the organization along with Roshini Persaud who helped us along the way. The event was in support of Reiner De Armas, also known as B-Boy Cuba whom we wish a safe and speedy recovery.

The Caribbean Connection
So we made some Caribbean Tees representing four islands specifically, and they are Guyana, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago and Haiti. Now, it's not that we don't love the other islands its just the market allowed for these prints to be done specifically. Here is a look at these designs:
Jamaica Design
N.B. We only have this left in white.
Trinidad and Tobago Design
Haiti Design
The guyana designs sold out so we don't have an image for those, so we're considering a cost effective method of doing one of a kind Polos with an island theme, we'll update you more on that later. Just felt like showing these since they were some of the first designs that we did. Next article Hip Hop-izm event.
