Our journey began here with a young team, lots of heart, and an
unstoppable will to succeed. We were inexperienced with a lack of
knowledge on how to run a clothing company; because of that many
mistakes were made with just as many lessons learned. We had a
vision to create designs that we enjoyed and thats all that
mattered. Our first few seasons consisted of loud and colorful
graphics and thats who we were at the time. The fact that other
people appreciated what we did only motivated us to do more. 8 End

We were still opening our eyes to what this industry was about
after our first year. Our business faced continuous amounts of
trial and error but that didnt stop us. We ventured out and began
marketing our product by releasing our first print ads and working
closely with celebrities to spread our products to bigger markets.
We also began collaborating with other companies in order to slowly
expand and survive the hard-hitting recession. Although it was a
struggle, we managed to work through those tough times while
becoming more ambitious and excited. We finally managed to quit our
day jobs and began to really focus our efforts onto the brand we
created together. End of the Beginning 9
Two thousand and nine would see our darkest days; the bright
eyes and youth of 07 had faded away and the reality of running an
independent brand reared its ugly head. Working countless hours and
being exposed to the real world created a dark cloud that reflected
onto our brand and us as individuals. Minor misunderstandings and
simple miscommunications nearly brought our doors to a close, but
it was those obstacles that helped shape us and drove us beyond the
struggles of the present and into a soon to be brighter future.

There is a common wisdom that is shared in which nothing in life
comes free, that bit of advice was never more apparent until two
thousand ten came around. Having overcome the major obstacles 09
had to offer, one goal remained, to persevere. We realized that
fear was an emotion that had no place in our dictionaries, and
being dark and mysterious is a trait left solely for the cool guys
(which we are definitely not). What was left was a continual desire
to inspire the people that had supported us since day one. There
was a general consensus among our team that it was time to come
together and achieve the success we had been working for, so we
utilized our raw talents once again to deliver a message to the
rest of the world. That once you see beyond the struggle, you can
achieve the impossible.
