Fashion Gxd Magazine : How did the idea for your business come about?
Answer: We love fashion, quality clothing and shopping. We also love to be creative and design. This clothing line took years of thought and preparation. We wanted everyone to feel good wearing the clothing that we designed. We all have that one piece of clothing, that one favorite piece that we can't live without..... We wanted to design clothing that made you excited and feel good putting them on

Fashion Gxd Magazine :If you had the chance to start your career over again, what would you do differently?
Answer: If we had an opportunity to start again we wouldn’t change a thing. All of the experiences that we have had up to this point good or bad have been a major plus and have gotten us to this level. Making a change might be a critical mistake.
Fashion Gxd Magazine :What would you say are the top three skills needed to be a successful entrepreneur ?
Answer: 1. Passion for what you do 2. Originality 3. Patience
Fashion Gxd Magazine :What have been some of your failures, and what have you learned from them? Answer:
We wouldn’t say we have had any failures, we had necessary experiences. We initial tried to make shirts that we thought were trendy in order to keep up with what was hot at the time. We quickly realized that trends change fast. For example the ‘on fleek’ craze didn’t last long, is anyone still wearing a t-shirt that says on fleek; probably not. Fading trends can become a problem for your business. Your customer is a walking billboard, if you are ‘out dated’ they throw you in the back of the closet never to be seen again by anyone. Keeping our slogans true to our culture is working for us, it keeps us relevant. We cater to our city with our Detroit Collection and the rest of the world with our Signature Logo Collection.
