You wanna know the come up of TWOTONE? Why I made TWOTONE? Is there really a meaning for TWOTONE? And to be completely honest, I had absolutely no idea what I wanted to make and where I wanted to go with it, all that I knew from a young age was I loved being different and I loved standing out, that came naturally though for some reason but the way I decided to do it was through clothes, I loved finding things people didn't have, I loved wearing pants too baggy that my friends' mums thought I was a lil thug or drug dealer, and I always wondered why other mums judged me lol, I had the best manners out there that's fasho, but my baggy clothes and braids my younger sister did for me, yeh it was probably that.
Anyway that's where it started and that's how I got to where I am right now, through wanting to be different, wanting to find my true self and my purpose in a way, I know I want to help people and give back as much as I can and I think running a brand gives me the opportunity to do that which I'm grateful for so that's my main goal as of right now, growing the brand and family as much as I can so I can keep looking after the people, the culture ya feel.
With the direction of the brand, I've pretty much figured that out now, I won't lie it took me a couple years, trial and error but I've got it now, my personal style is still growing though and won't stop growing until I'm 6ft under but I feel like that's how the game goes, you have your core style, likes and dislikes but it changes with age, relationships, location, it can keep going on and on and the brand will move with that, it's like tattoos, that's the way I like to think of it, tattoos for me represent things you like through stages of your life, they tell a story from every stage you were in, it might stay the same or similar, you might have a Japanese sleeve on one arm and then a knife and fork on the other because you became a chef 10 years later, you never know, anyway I'm dragging this meant to be 'paragraph' but I hope you got a slight understanding of TWOTONE and a small insight to what it was and what it's still building into.
Let me leave you with at least one piece of advice.
Don't be a bad copy of something else, be an authentic version of yourself.
That's what I live by every second of the day.
Love, peace and prosperity.
