Keep the Change...

As I have stated before, I am truly excited about and inspired by young designers. I believe that if you start while you're a youth, you have more time to figure out what is right and what works. Without further ado, here's a little info about three young Black men making a name for themselves.



Hollis Chinkeefatt (pictured), Casey Crawford, and Greg Ganthier are students attending school on the East Coast who have embraced their inner go-getterism and birthed a clothing line called Centsless. It officially launched during the always fashion influenced Howard University Homecoming 2008. DC has enveloped many different styles and concepts to send all over the country, but few reach the right people. It's relatively easy to print a couple of shirts and distribute them across a college campus. That part of the job is done. And if you think they're just another clothing line, then why would Diddy be wearing their shirt?

In this case, a picture is worth only 3 words: "They did that."


Please oh please be a part of history and support our own! (Shout out to model Kyle Marissa in the purple skirt!!!)


Shout out to Port Arthur, Texas native and UGK life member Bun B!!! (I think he might be my cousin.)

Watermelon Democracy

Hola everyone!!!

Sorry about the long hiatus....but ya know, ish happens! Now on to the important stuff:

I'm all about promoting young designers who have something going for themselves. And my friend Darrin Nobles is just that.

His line is coined "Watermelon Democracy", and features some pretty dope designs, if I don't say so myself. Below is a description of the name and pictures of the shirts he plans on cranking out to the masses:

"WATERMELON DEMOCRACY™ is the idea that through the development of our core and strengthening of our outer surface, we can achieve the success, power, and true freedom that we desire.Watermelon represents the hard outer surface while having a rich sweet soul. Just like a ripe Watermelon means its ready and fully prepared, as does a developed Watermelon represent a person fully prepared to take on life's challenges. Democracy symbolizes the power and freedom we should aspire to possess marked by a dedication towards empowering others."

Check out the line's website www.watermelondemocracy.com

Keep up the good work Darrin....you're going places!!! :)
