Alfred Os, a young boy aiming for the stars with sewing machine as his spaceship and is based in the area which is named as one of the most terrible places is one of those many talented youths who are starting young and aiming high despite the expectations and stereotypes based around young black males in the media. He also owns his own label which goes by the name of ‘Alfredo’ which he pioneered and launched solo, designing and creating his clothing.
Alfred who started designing at the tender age of just 10 advertises his clothes on world wide networking internet site Myspace and balances his label between college, church based activities and of course a social life, an all important teenage necessity. Funding his label with his own money Alfred participates in little fashion and talent shows hoping to sometime star in one of the big UK fashion shows which he hopes to be recognised. He aims to have a photo shoot to catalogue his creations. He has also been approached by Othello a photographer linked with hit 70’s singer Blondie who is interested in photographing Alfredo wear. Alfred’s aim is to one day own his own boutique from where he can sell his Alfredo range which he plans to expand to plus sizes as he feels there is just ‘not enough’ variety for the plus size consumer.
