I Heard 'Em Say...

I Heard 'Em Say...

I'm very happy in helping my friend, Lorenzo Diggins --- fellow Angeleno, designer and fashion enthusiast --- celebrate and promote the launch of his company heardemsay™!

heardemsay™ is motivated by one simple purpose-to create moving, thought-provoking art rooted in four key outlets of expression: art, music, poetry, and photography. the intention is to interweave lyrical and visual art through fashion by collaborating with visionary artists who have something to say . we believe art creates stimulating dialogue that might otherwise never be heard. It is our hope that heardemsay™ be the platform for artists to exhibit their boundless dreams to a society thirsty for knowledge. It’s an “ode to self expression.”

When he sent out the mass texts, tweets and BBMs announcing the launch and I watched the video above, I was so inspired I got out of bed and did an additional 2 hours of work before I fell asleep. Haha! True story. His philosophy and energy are contagious.

Also, although they are not yet posted, keep a look out for the heardemsay collection. The button and tote have been 2 of my absolute favorite accessories this summer! Great product!

CONGRATULATIONS MY BROTHER!

Meeting of the Minds :: LA's Finest

Meeting of the Minds :: LA's Finest

Like something out of comic book pages, 7 of the most influential African American fashionistos in Los Angeles met up this week to discuss everything from style to education and ultimately possibly combining our powers (in true Captain Planet form). I'm guessing if you don't know me, then you most definitely know one of the other six. I can't express how much I enjoyed being in the company of like-minded individuals, who are just as creative, knowledgeable and ambitious as I am. We all knew at least 2 people in the group and it felt like the collective was bound to happen sooner or later. I'm very anxious to see what comes of association.

We shall see. Stay tuned, true believers...
