Sewn From The Soul
In honor of Black History Month, myself and 6 of my good friends embarked on a journey to create an homage to our great Black leaders and forefathers, We fused our individual styles, personalities and charisma together to develop something truly awe-inspiring. Ladies and Gentlemen without further ado, we proudly present you with…..”Sewn From The Soul”
The process of making this all come together with Alejandro Perez and all the great guys, was truly an experience I will never forget. The poise, elegance and character that these gentlemen posses is of such I have never witnessed. Working with them was an amazing opportunity to bring our talents together and create something truly lasting.
This charming young fellow here is Jeremiah, nephew of Joshua Kissi, this little guy is the future. He is only 5 years old, yet has the style and grace of a grown man. The little guy was a pleasure to work with, he seemed to enjoy the process of being in front of the camera too!
Now what can’t be said about Mr Josh Kissi and Mr Travis Gumbs? These two are the masterminds behind the mega powerhouse blog, Street Etiquette. Working with these individuals prior to our shoot, I amassed a sense of exactly who these brothers are, and that is genuine. They are kind and intelligent beyond measure and working with them for our shoot was a life changing moment. Cheers to you guys!
Rinaldy Laguerre, James Jean, and Joe-Kenneth Museau are a group of fellows that I was honored to have met this year. Working with all of them prior, they are without a doubt men of true style and elegance. They all brought their individual styles and flavors to the shoot, and made it an experience that was worth the while.

I would like to take this time to give thanks where it is most definitely due..
Major special thanks to Alejandro Perezfor taking the time from being one of New Yorks best photographers to shoot our online editorial. He is a true talent and without him we most certainly would not have “Sewn From The Soul”
Next Joshua Kissi, and Travis Gumbs. Working with you guys was a great moment for me and I will definitely cherish it forever. You guys have a true grasp on who you are as individuals and you will make it so very far in this industry…thank you. Next, Rinaldy Laguerre, Joe-Kenneth Museau, James Jean and young Mr Jeremiah. You guys made the shoot what is what….Epic (shout out to Josh for the “Epic”!) You guys all brought a level of swagger and charisma that will be remembered.
