THE URBAN TRIBES STORY

Plane boarding - Hiatus ahoy! It was well worth the wait.
We live in unprecedented times, from pandemics, suffering to hatred, bigotry and divisions between the human race.

In this time of absence, it gave me a chance to reflect: 
I want this brand to be at the forefront of dialogue and positive change
For people to converse, to engage in meaningful conversations through clothing.

The first 4 offerings are a testament to this Idea of change
We have a Design inspired about seeking adventure, to explore the world to learn about different cultures, One about diversity (in different languages and typos) Another design is about Dubai the Expo 2020 City (bringing cultures together) with its date of inception 1971, the vision from a city build from scratch in quick time, the Vibe and cool skyline and finally a Branded Tee Logo infused with Arabesque effect.

Throughout the upcoming plans there are hundreds of ideas of cities, places, countries. I want to bring the world together in this brand, as a catalyst of celebration of the beauty, artistic expression, diverse culture and uniqueness and this is of what is coming to build the concept of Urban Tribes Clothing.

Once established - I want to scale up my designs into wider ranges/products, intricate designs with different print methods, technologies to utilise with larger budgets and practice.

We want to find ways to give back to communities and find a mechanism that works, perhaps some ideas that are floating around includes a charitable element? A forum as such for you the fans to decide where our funds should go, there will be a mechanism in place to chose themes and topics globally.

Once a niche is established, there will be efforts to support local and global initiatives whether environmental, health or social development through this mechanism.

We have understood the imperative values of sustainability, our product and packaging are fully recyclable

These are just the starter to what is about to unravel over the coming weeks and months, with new themes added, and current ones expanded. 

Introducing our sister brand: 

Much love, till next time
Stay blessed

P.s - Love to have a conversation, please get in touch :) 

An overview of Designs and Uniqueness.

One thing that was paramount in my travels and inter-cultural learning was the desire to learn about ‘Commonalities’ between cultures and people, we live in a Patriarchal matrix whereby one is exposed to one set of Ideals and values beamed through mediums hence creating fear of the unknown. We live in crazy times whereby ignorance is bliss and the norm, while sheep are asleep.

I want to change the ‘Status Quo’ with new unique concepts and ideas that create dialogue between people through clothing.

The ‘One love’ ‘One Humanity range’ is exploring the notion of ‘Commonalities’ which unites people, through languages and art, it’s a long overdue social experiment, while the Urban Xplorer range will capture magic, vibes and beauty of travel, destinations, adventure and freedom while celebrating diversity.

I honestly believe to make the world a better place, one has to travel far-fetched to ‘find himself’ in a place where one learns, adapts, embraces and values other cultures that is alien to himself, the fear barrier evaporates, and one cherishes and respects what is learnt through their travel diaries.

More concepts and ideas will be added, some will explore the state of our planet, habitats and nature while there will be ideas based on new technologies, fabrics and concepts.

Ranges will diversify into new product types, gender, all with the same core themes of Urban Tribes.

There will be a Social element penned in to ‘Give back’ to communities, whether its capacity building, Inter-cultural, Youth orientated, or protection of Animal habitats. I have an extensive background in these subject within my voluntary capacity.

Till next time, stay blessed

The Urban Tribes Story (The Paradigm Shift)

What is Urban Tribes??

Urban wear, Fashion conscious ‘individualised Couture’ of Progressive highly well-travelled beings, who are embracing the New Age of Conscious Evolution movement, who find the beautiful in the ‘small details’ fused in everything cool and trendy, while avoid the crazy world which is in steeped in propaganda conflict, Indoctrinating Delusions, free from delusional patriarch matrix…. Urban Tribes is ‘created’ as Urban wear is our entry foray into the Urban clothing market while Tribes being the People (The Tribes & Nations) We are ‘One Human Race’ a Spiritual Force for truth-seeking and Bliss, narrated through Artistic expressions in Clothing.

I started this brand to create my own inclusive narratives and focus on the beauty of the themes of the brand, I have travelled to far and wide with an open heart and mind from a young age, which created a fixation to find the beautiful in everything and anything, it’s a purpose to understand our deeper meaning to life and how the Human Race is inter-connected, while rejection the notion of the ‘Other’ an invisible enemy we should fear as polarised by mainstream Media.

I was inspired by my Inter-Cultural dialogue projects and travels, having a mixed background helped to be organic and unique in essence, while being courageous in pursuit.

My personal name means the ‘Lion’ in Persian/Urdu, I wanted to symbolise something new a transition from the current norm and status quo: a new frequency, energy, direction that leads to an ‘Inclusive Globalised World’ whereby the consumer is the Narrator to express himself and the potential for this space is huge especially in the social media world, which with its own Fan base and followers can lead to potential change. 

Fashion are like Billboards, Clothing is a 'Need' and encased and wrapped in the modern era as a ‘Want’ - You share and express yourself whether you’re a 'Fashionista' or a Plain Jane, you can share and celebrate your reality and your view of the world around you in your unique narratives. It may lead to a 'Eureka' Moment where dialogue is created, friendships and following are forged, while you find something cool to wear.

Like with every Birth, a seed of a new beginning of something beautiful, which may inspire and create real change.

Urban Tribes will have more unique designs added frequently and this will grow in phases which are already mapped out.

In the Age of Information and an Inter-Connected World, anything is Possible.
