spotlight edition: GODSLABEL

Do you like to be Dissimilar? Do you stray from the common folk? Do others look at you and feel that your just that deal?!?! well if so then you're not alone. My good friend and fellow Designer Trae Isaac who makes up part of Gods Label clothing www.godslabel.com is one of those few also!

Godslabel is a clothing line that uses Gods message thru clothing. By using influences from graffiti, pop, and abstract art they create what is infact original, enspiring and 'dissimilar' clothing.

Right now Trae is focusing on his current collection

THE BREAKER COLLECTION


ME- what exactly is the Breaker Collection?

Trae- The barrier of Sin that blocks us from our dreams, and our relationship with GOD
The demons that wage war with us daily, in an attempt to detour our path of
righteousness.
We must Triumph over the Enemy, and break the blockade of Sin that lies amid
GOD and ourselves…



ME- can you describe the collection?


Trae-The Breaker Collection is a 3 shirt series brought to you by (me), protégé of the great Flaco Shalom
Dyson. The Collection depicts the stages of which you face the sin that challenges you spirituality, defeat
it, and stand Triumphant.
Each piece is carefully hand painted to assure absolute originality. The Breaker Collection crest is painted
on the left sleeve and the Gods Label logo flies on the back neck.


me- how much are the shirts going for?


trae-$35 each


Me- Woo!! all i can say is Godslabel up!!!

Black & white....Color...Brown...who cares??

i'm a person who usually gets stuck in my ways, and most of the time i dont even realize it. like with clothing for example, for awhile all of my clothing was black. Maybe not black from head to toe...but there was a nice amount of black in my wardrobe. And no matter how hard i'd try I just couldnt seem to shake the habbit. Then when i finally switched it up, i went to brown. lol.But i've noticed as of late i have been trying really change up. Like for real this time!As hard is it may seem, I have been adding COLOR to my clothes!! whoop whoop!! And the funny thing is that the outfits themselves are nothing special. Just a lil mis match here...mis match there....and bam!! I've got an outfit full of color that i like!

so i guess the point of this entry is sometimes its not bad to get outside of your own personal box and try something new. It may be a little scary at first, but when it comes down to it you will probly feel better about the overall outcome. who cares if you look like everyone else? who cares if your clothes match? As long as YOU like it then thats ALL that matters!




just some thoughts...

I don't want to be a sugar coated or waterd down designer. I don't want to be like everyone else out here. I want to be able to look at my clothing and know that I havnt seen anything like it before. I don't want it to be seen as a joke. Therefore I must put my all into my work. I have to research not just what's hot, but what WILL be hot! I have to take what's the current trend and switch it up. Who wants to walk around and look just like everyone else? No one! ( I hope) if you do then your just a character. Characters are wack, but they're all around. I just want to be able to look at my pieces and think....ya....that's crazy differnt! I've been somewhat discourged about my work lately because I feel as if its not standing out enough. So now I'm realizing...I just have to work that much harder for what I want!
So with that being said just remember to
Live Life Royale' Style no matter what!

People watching at its best...

So I'm sitting at my wonderful job (the mall) *smell tha sarcasim* and since I have a whole hr to kill before I actully start work I'm just sitting here people watching. And since today is a saturday and people must have ALL got the memo...the mall is def on bang. So much so that I have an attitude..but I digress..back to the subject at hand...

People are turning up their creativity levels by the millions!! I love it! I'm seeing soooo many different styles of dress.I would take pictures but their walking to fast and I'm too shy to just walk up to complete strangers and ask for a picture.

I've noticed boots really say a lot about a person and the style they posess. Boots are all over, I mean it IS november & Michigan. I've seen UGG boots, patent leather boots, suede,cowboy,floral patternd, high heeled, low heeled,flats, EVERYTHING!

Another hott item is scarves! I love them! And right now it seems to be two main styles. Fashion scarves and weather scarves. I call fashion scarves the kind that you wear only to match your outfit. You can get them from all over. H&M,Vanity, Forever 21,etc etc. And then theirs the weather scarves. Those are the kind you wear to keep your neck warm. Most of the time you don't care what they look like aslong as they do the job. Those can come from ANYWHERE!!

Well those are the seasons must haves in my fashion world...scarves and boots!!

I Design...

Ever since I was younger i've always been into fashion. Its funny because I actully didnt even realize how much fashion was involved in my life. i just knew that my mom sometimes picked outfits out for me that i absolutley HATED!! I would get into trouble for hiding them in the back of my closet and never wearing them. lol. But it never just hit me how much i liked clothing. Apparently alot of my friends and family realized it more than i did. Oh well, thats how these things work.

About 3 years ago i started my own custom painted clothing line called
L.L.R.S Designs. which stands for LIVE LIFE ROYALE' STYLE. www.myspace.com/llrsdesigns


i've been teaching myself basicly every thing that i know. i have had some help from some other designers who are into this craft as well. Today i was searching the internet for something that i dont even remember right now and i came across this great website!! its called fashion-templates.com
I love it because it has templates that you can use when making patterns. now technically i do not sew, but im in the process of teaching myself that too. so big woop woop to this site!!!

Trendsetting Tuesday's

I've decided that i'm really going to stop neglecting this blog. I was thinking fashion never stops, so why should I? What if the designers,stylist,models, consultants, fashion show organizers, etc, quit?!?!? Then what would happen to the fashion industry? Everything would go banannas!! lol. So with that being said I promise to keep up with the blog!


Tuesday is such a blah day out of the week. So I figure I'd decide to spice it up a bit. Each Tuesday I'm going to highlight a person who I belive to be a trendsetter. Something about their fashion sense is definitly on point! This week I will be highlighting my very own nephew Ilario!





Name- Ilario aka LaLo
Age- 5yrs old
Outfit Choice-Brown Leather Bomber, Blue Jeans, canvas shoes
Random Fact-He wants to be spiderman when he grows up.

Now as you can see. he's a beast in the fashion world. I mean he saw that my other nephew Zach had this adorable leather and didnt wear it. ( Zach is 4) And he asked if he could have the jacket. As soon as he put it on...he NEVER wanted to take it off!! Can you blame him??
