About Me

MyGen Profile GeneratorI have many goals that I have set for myself and by the Grace of G.O.D I'm meeting them slowly but surely. 1# TOP GOAL: Become a Noted Menswear Designer, however, making it to heaven is ZERO NO HIGHEST! Anyway, I got this idea to create a line that is based off one of the most intelligent and prolific black minds of our day! (There's quite a few, chose your own!) I want to show the truth about imagery. How it can split ones own perception of themselves and inadvertently merge perceptions of what "others" believe you to be. In other words..."DOUBLE CONSCIOUSNESS" fools. Sometimes we have it all wrong about folks, we can't see past false media or even ones own need to be someone else. Cee-lo Green of Goodie Mobb said it best: "Everyone's somebody but nobody wants to be themselves". Think about it!Some of the images shown on the slides are projects that I've styled. I'm currently working with a mua & photographer to recreate 1900s to present day. The garments have to be high fashion, not costumey but Reminiscent of each decades distinctive trademark on fashion. I feel that I have done that by choosing timeless pieces as well as strong models. I hope your feeling it!

My Interests

I want to connect with real artists, learn from them and use there energy! Unite....Pretty Much! I'm a good collaborator and I like working with people who have vision and a sense of urgency and direction. I try to paint in my spare time and sketch as much as possible. Right now, all my interest are focused on creating my fashion business and hopefully returning to school in 2007. Got to get that extra piece of paper because without it "they" will try to deny me mine!..
