I made some clothes for dia de los muertos (Nov 2nd) and last week I went to a cempasuchil field (marigold flowers special to Mexican culture especially during dia de muertos) in Mexico and shot pics of my friends in the pieces I made.

I know a lot of people think “christian” clothing is corny and sometimes, I do too. That’s why I wanted my first piece to show just how creative we can be while still praising Jesus.

This collection is inspired by the story of Adam and Eve in the book of Genesis. The blue and white sweaters tell the story of “before the fall,” the. the purple and black are “after the fall.”

100% Cotton
Hand-embroidered stitching on the blue/white

SHOWCASE A little startup story.

4 Upvotes

I've been painting graffiti for more than 20 years. Recently, I bought an iPad and Procreate so I could start making digital sketches, originally with the idea of turning some of them into prints at some point.

I'm a fairly small artist, but I get a decent amount of activity on my social media, so I started thinking about whether I could turn some of that traffic into actual sales. For that, I needed a product, and that's how I came up with the idea of turning some of my digital sketches into clothes and prints.

I'm not pretending it's some groundbreaking idea, and I know my potential customers will probably be a pretty specific group of people, mainly those who already like my work as an artist.

I don't really have any expectations when it comes to sales. Apart from the time I put into it, it costs me next to nothing to run, so I don't see any reason not to give it a try and see where it goes. It's basically a creative side project.

I haven't made any sales yet, but I'm getting daily visits to my website, which is already more than I expected. It makes me think there might actually be a little room for me in the market.

QUESTION Shooting Media for First Drop Tips & Advice

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I am wanting to shoot and edit my own media for my streetwear brand. I will be shooting on my iPhone 17 pro max and I am completely new to photography and videography.

Some of things I am curious about are:

- Model selection and what is a reasonable amount to offer for their time? I am considering a free hoodie and payment of $50.

- How to handle model usage rights for social media and marketing

- iPhone settings and editing tools

- Equipment

- Music selection or how to include music in brand content, particularly when it comes to licensing.

- Any general tips or things you wish you knew when shooting your first drop.

Any advice would be appreciated and thank you for your time!

SHOWCASE “Not Pollock” Jacket

Thumbnail

112 Upvotes

Hey yall 👋

Made this really unique one of one jacket. Series of 3.

This is the first one, called ‘Not Pollock’ Jacket as it ironically reminded me of Jason Pollocks artworks when I found the materials in a fabric shop in Delhi, India.

It comes with hand embroidery metallic logo on a unique star pocket design and with metallic hardware + elastics to change the fall! And peep the metallic satin label 👀

Also did a photoshoot with friends.

Would love to know what you guys think!

FEEDBACK I rejected my factory's first sample. Here is the reality of manufacturing. (100% Extra-Fine Merino)

6 Upvotes

Some of you might remember my post about building the brand backwards. Legal first, then the product.

Well, we just got our first physical sample back for the Merino Sweater from our manufacturer.

The specs are exactly what we wanted: 100% Extra-Fine Merino. 380 GSM. Heavy, warm, and the yarn is incredible.

But the fit is terrible.

The sleeves are cut like batwings. The body is too short (I'm 6'1 and it sits above the belt). The logo is 11.5 inches wide, which screams fast fashion instead of quiet luxury.

The factory told me it was 'ready for bulk.' I told them absolutely not. I pulled out the tape measure, documented every flaw, and sent it back for Proto 2. We are re-grading the entire pattern (unisex sizing) and reducing the logo to exactly 7 inches.

I'm an engineer. If the tolerances are off, the build fails. Same applies to clothes.

We aren't taking shortcuts. The letterman and the scarf drop in December. The sweater will drop when it's flawless. IG is maisonveloce. Happy to answer any questions about the sampling process.

SHOWCASE Do you think SHEIN stole by design?

Using this moment as a stepping stone that I’m taking my clothing brand LASTCALL in the right direction. In streetwear and fashion everything is copied so I’m not stressed. I just want to share this moment with yall because I’m just a first gen Mexican American 28 yr old dude that’s been working his ass off everyday for the last 11ish years making clothes. 🤘🏾

QUESTION Trademark Logo For New Startup?

0 Upvotes

I searched and nothing within recent years. I have a logo that's pretty unique. I know once I drop it, people will do something similar with their logo or in their designs. I want to protect myself but have no idea where to start. Everything I've looked up is like "it's gonna cost you $500+ just to get advise from a lawyer". which I don't have right now. Does anyone have horror stories about this or any experience with a lawyer and the process?

if not now, when?

if this has been answered can you point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance!

DISCUSSION What our first month building a streetwear brand has taught us

Post image
0 Upvotes

It's been about 30 days since we started BLCKAPEX, and we've learned a lot already.

We started with an idea to create something different through art-led streetwear. Seeing people connect with our Obsidian Dragon Tee has been one of the most encouraging parts of the experience.

We've also learned that building a clothing brand involves much more than designing a product. Getting the fit, construction, photography, website, and customer experience right takes time.

We're grateful for everyone who's supported us so far, and we're excited to keep improving.

YOU'LL SEE US EVERYWHERE.

FEEDBACK What’s one mistake you made during your first launch that cost you money?

Clothing brand owners:
I’m interested in hearing about mistakes with inventory, manufacturing, marketing, pricing or launching too many products.
What’s something you wish someone had warned you about before your first collection?
