THEMATIC EXPRESSION & EXPERIENCE (BLOG 2)
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
