Posted by kwasi | Filed under Style & Fashion
If you’re anyone that knows me, you know that I LOVE me some denim. When I heard NYU was having a Denim exhibition I got on the 1st thing smoking and made it down to the exhibit on the last day, in the last hour in a rain storm aka Tsunami.

The Start
Posted by Steve-O | Filed under Culture
The place was Footlocker Herald Square, the year 2004. A chance meeting with P. Diddy’s Stylist while working the cash register was my opportunity to break into the fashion industry, and I did just that. I knew I had to make my mark. I left the store on the spot and made a trip to Alife to floss my sneaker knowledge and purchase the Olympic air max 95s for Diddy (he had just run the Olympic torch). No size 13 for Mike B? “I can get them I got you”. After Mikes trip to Miami, size 13 in the Olympic Air max 95s were delivered. “I can’t take your money I want to be your intern”. After a month of heavy calling and texting I was interning at Bad Boy, working at footlocker part-time, Bloomingdales nights and weekends and maintained my full time student status at CCNY talk about ultimate Hustler!

On the set of Mickey Factz most recent video for the song “ALPHA.” Behind the scenes the GFC crew geared Mickey up in clothes from Gold Spun, Public School, and Gucci. Accessories where provided by Nooka, Retrosuperfuture, and Android sneakers. After dressing into his rugged look he hit the scene , bringing an enormous amount of energy to the camera. At the end of the filming the crew applauded at all their hard work. This video is something to anticipate and will prove to be nothing less then epic.

Gifted Elite Interviews Kwasi
Posted by Steve-O | Filed under Press, Style & Fashion
Kwasi: style is multifaceted. I have to be able to go from putting on a suit for a meeting with a Marketing Executive at a label to urban attire while hanging in Harlem with the homies. I can also say my style is transitional. I can go from “The Corner” to “Corner Office”. My style was inherited from my Great Grand Uncles. My mother would tell me they were “Sharp from head to toe.” That always stuck with me when getting dressed. I was the only kindergarten wearing 3 piece suits to school.
