Prophetik Clothing

The heart divides and the darkness engulfs
There is a cause-a just reason-a righteousness
The ego drives the self to an end
The higher purpose poses as stars
The will creates the patterns and the signs
How can one truly be sure for the night fades
The stars are lost
So day is sprung and one leads by the dream
The dream one connected by a starry night
The pattern burned into the light of day
How can one dream the stars away
Keeping faith and keeping vision
The world of day goes away
Night breathes and there is no more question
Live a dream- dream a life
Be true to the stars of night
They hold the path of light
by Jeff Garner
Ethical, Sustainable, and Positive...Prophetik is a lifestyle brand where smart substance design meets sustainable fabrics intersecting with an ethical and social conscious. Taglined "wearable philisophy" and the TN original fashion brand being designed and produced on a farm in TN.The fall/winter line, Starry Knight, consists of all sustainable fabrics with organic cottons, hemp, recycled poly, greenspun, and organic pigment printing with enviro knight inspired graphics. “My desire is to not just get people to come to a Charity event or go on a missions trip but to be truly engaged with self allowing the heart of giving and serving to lead one in life rather than being another event or feel good moment but a constant, not based on condition The Charity Fashion event will be serving the Hands and Feet orphanage ( www.handsandfeetproject.org ) which is a vision by local Mark Stewart (lead singer for Audio Adrenaline) who has a heart to serve the orphans in Haiti. He has purchased land there and already has a few buildings built to shelter 30 orphans and is looking to build another building to house more orphans which will cost them $15,000. That is the goal of the Charity event and season for the new kids line launched by Prophetik and Convoy called Sustainable Collective. Each garment purchased will give $1.50 towards the building fund and half of the ticket prices for the event will go straight towards the building fund along with a % of sales for the night on top of the $1.50. Also with every purchase the consumer will be given a pre-paid postage box in which the child may learn to give back when buying something new. The box will have a list of needs from the kids of the orphanage.
In a culture full of self help books we begin to analyze ourselves and gain excuses for our behaviors not allowing true change... deferring a change in awareness which is a barrier to self knowledge. The past experiences allow emotional cooling fueling excuses not exemplifying an insightful reaction of soul and feeling...we must go deeper. Doing this will avoid the modern day pitfall of passivity where experience becomes meaningless. The garments visually exemplify the elements of soul being stripped down into bareness creating texture for natural colors to build on using recycled fabrics along with organic cottons. Accept yourself in its entirety." - Jeff Garner
