Sewn From the Soul

Catchy title huh? I wish i came up with it myself. Its actually the title of a fashion project done by those boys Joshua "JKISSI" Kissi and Travis "Trav" Gumbs, masterminds behind the prolific blog Street Etiquette. Sewn from the Soul is a tribute to Black History Month which pays homage to transcending black Americans such as Gordon Parks, Sammy Davis, Jr., Dr. Cornel West and others through some sort of digital booklet. Below is a video of the behind the scenes footage, filmed while models and photographers were getting prepared. Its a very personable video that features a bomb spoken word from poet and one of the models Joekenneth Museau . The short project is simple yet powerful with never-ending fashion statements and clear photography. The Sewn from the Soul project can be seen here.

The boys of Street Etiquette are doing it right. They show that young black men can still be seen in a positive and stylish light. They are breaking all cultural biases while inspiring myself and others alike on style, taste and pure elegance. Street Etiquette is more than a daily obsession its a way of life. Enjoy!!
