Coup D'etat Brooklyn

Brooklyn has done it again, or rather products of Brooklyn have done it again. Coup D'etat Brooklyn is a relatively new fashion line that has "pop-culture and social political" messages silk-screened all over it. Co-founded in 2004 by Daoud Abeid and Rasu-Jilani, with Suhail Smith as designer this line consisting of Jackets, Crew Neck Sweaters, T-shirts and Hoodies is making quite a name for itself and fast. In a recent trip to N.Y.C. I met Suhail while visiting a friend. Very poised and focused he sat, computer on his lap and for lack of a fancy word he was simply... designing. I later found out he is a self taught designer with enough talent to battle some of the greats. After researching the line a little bit more I've found one of the lines major focus, as there are several, is to reach the consciously aware fashion consumer.

I myself like to make statements, get political, vote and be heard but I also like to stay fly when I'm on the scene, so why can't I do both at the same time? Coup D'etat has made me a believer and shown that it is possible.
