WHERE ARE YOU FROM?
I am from Newburgh, NY
WHEN DID YOUR LINE ORIGINATE?
New Blak originated at about or around 2002. Although it started out being called B.Y.N.O. (Being Young is Never Old), I got the name New Blak when I was working one day and was reading a magazine and I realized that at the time Celebrities had gone really far to make everything the “New Black”. A co-worker and myself were discussing the trend of things and he simply said why don’t you change the name of your company to New Black. And sure enough I did but that name was taken already so I just dropped the C in Blak and never looked back.
WHAT WAS AND IS YOUR INSPIRATION?
My Inspiration for New Blak started out with being a Trendy, High end Tee Shirt boutique, but then I realized I’m not just about Tee Shirts I am Fashion. I want not just a line but an entire Empire that generates and exudes Opulence, luxury but very affordable. New Blak’s Inspiration now is Different Styles merging together and creating New Trends.
WHO IS YOUR TARGET AUDIENCE?
My target audience is really Everyone. I don’t think that you’re a real Designer if you can’t design for people of all shapes and sizes. ( For pictures of the line, please view the "Music and Style" post where a video is posted with New Blak)
WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF AND YOUR LINE 5 YEARS FROM NOW?
I see myself running a multi-million dollar company and changing the face of the fashion industry, and as far as New Blak , in 5 years being a huge company not just a line and SUCCESS, changing fashion yet again and showing people that if you have a dream and Passion to fuel your dream then you can do it too.
WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS FAR AS A DESIGNER?
New Blak has gotten tons of press and Media exposure locally i.e. Times Herald Record, HV Magazine, Echo magazine Online, Orange magazine, Lyrics and lipstick Blogspot.com. New Blak still continues to get press and media exposure through major red carpet events and exclusive invite only parties, Some Celebrities and Celebrity Stylists as well as Publicists.
