gRADUATE pROGRAM
I see myself as a hiphop/pop culture graduate and my school of higher learning was KanyeUniversecity.com. If you know than you know. Back before Instagram WCW posts there was Kanye's Beauty of the week, Before there was a Louis Vuitton and Supreme Collab I learned what a collab even was reading about the Stephen Sprouse and Louis Vuitton collaboration on KanyeU. This site birthed a generation of Hypebeasts and Influencers that are now rolling the retail stratosphere. People like Virgil Abloh, Don C, Ibn Jasper, were all featured on KanyeUnivercity.com ten plus years ago. So in an homage to KanyeUniversecity.com and some of my favorite Artists then and now I designed a new Jean Jacket for the Fall featuring Banksy Graffiti pieces, Takashi Murakami Graduation Bear, KAWS x Spongebob Squarepants Art pieces, Off White Quotation marks, the famous Trouble Andrew "Life is Gucci" piece, and a LV x GoonMilk Support mash up design. More to come as I delve deeper into my old blog www.boooogie.blogspot.com, which had all kinds of fire from 04-2012. Each design meaning a little something different than the next but all inspired by the Culture and KanyeUniversecity.com. The jacket itself defines the word "FLY" and what that means to me. Subtle yet outrageous, trendsetting, pushing the envelope while using classic aesthetics. The juxtaposition of fitting in and standing out, thats what "FLY" is to me.
