Revamping......


I'm still working on it but so far I decided to dig deeper into who I really am to design my collection with more soul.....It is a mix of...
*Afrocentricity
*AfroPunk
*Modern art
*Funkadelic
*Bohemian
*Disco
*Futurism/Cosmic
I have been working on my "niche" for a while and then I realized that I am all these things so why not transcend that into my clothing line and let that be my brand...Thank goodness,so far,I have a good team behind me...
Wish me blessings y'all

Still here….

Red heartthe grind

I”ve been bad…..I’ve been on my Tumblr account more than  being here…(neglecting my baby).And even now,’ve been neglecting all of my” internet presence”.Been in the Spaceship with new inspiration,new pieces,new mind frame,new batteries in my old camera and the same old computer…I needed the time to “download” so I can  get cracking with the new new.Still have some stuff to figure out but I’ll get it together.still trying to find an outlet and a way to market my definitive style.So hard to just be at times….

Reorganizing myself..........

Since I am terrible at keeping up with my blogs (I'm also at gkusoul.tumblr.com),I am changing the format of the content.Mainly due to reorganizing myself and trying to expand myself.This is now to show what I'm doing and what I'm making/designing rather than just using it for inspiration (that's what's tumblr for).I'm going to post my items for the g k u collection.I plan to also give access to customers on etsy.com.Bear with me .Thank You,family.Peace.

This is me....

tired as hell.

This is what's really going on...in my head...

This is what I want to carry in my bag....




(what????)
All this this to say,forgive me for neglecting the blog.Part of that was laziness,part was being really busy.I gotta learn how to rule the world one task at a time...pray for me and my ambitions.

Christian Joy

Amazing work from Christian Joy,a fashion/costume designer from Greenpoint,Brooklyn.Here's a peak at her S/S 09 collection and her stage costumes.


via Urban Outfitters for full article on her and her work.






















Stereo/Sewing Machine

I would definitely want one of these since it merges my two most favorite forms of art;fashion and music

The intent is to make sound visible.It embroiders the frequency of the music.It's only a prototype (I'm sad about that too.).I would love to stitch in my favorite Talib Kweli,J*Davey,Little Jackie and E.Badu songs on my T's.

These are just pics I fell in love with

Jack Davey






I am a music lover.I always get new music.I rather listen to music than watching TV.I'd rather have intellectual conversation about music than talk about the neighbors ugly kids.So I'd like to share what I've been blasting in my studio for a staight week now.I FINALLY have J*Davey's "The Beauty In Distortion" and "The Land Of The Lost" CD's after soooo long I've heard "Mr.Mister" a couple years back.I love Jack Davey!
WHO IS JACK DAVEY??
She has a boy's name (who cares),She's weird (so am I...I've heard),She has a Mohawk (AND?!?!!?).She is Jack Davey,one half of J*Davey (along with Brook DeLeau,who is so CUTE),a duo from Los Angeles,California.Their music can be described as Funk,Alternative Hip Hop,Electronica,Alternative Rock/Funk,etc.,etc.,etc....Who gives a damn how they're catagorized,They are the HOTNESS.No homo,but she's my girl crush and I love her style.Support the Music---My jams are "Everybody Touch It" ,"Camera (Gangsta)","Finer Things (Bossing Up)","Just Because" and "Slooow".The CD can be purchased on their site.Check it out.Good to hear original,real music.They are way underrated.

TotusMel:In Bloom Ankle Corsets


Inspired by a shoe designed by Vicente Rey,designer,Pamela Quevedo of TotusMel set about trying to create a lace shoe. These spat-like pieces are one of the results.They are hand needle tatted with elements of vintage patterns and original designs in black cotton thread.She has other items also that are just as beautiful.There's a Victorian/Romantic Era Goth feel to them. Here's more,enjoy:
