What was your motivation behind starting CLVR Threads?
My sister and I growing up in a two-parent home and still struggling motivated me to start my brand. I almost never got name brand clothes and never ever got a pair of those Saturday release kicks. We shopped at Wal-Mart and got kicks from the clearance rack. But I would always order from Eastbay to window shop and pay close attention to what was hot and try my best to mimic the latest trends with whatever I had. I failed at that mostly.
During high school I never thought of having my own clothing line or being a designer or anything like that because I was really into sports. But when I graduated from high school, I decided not to head off to college because my pops was sick. I needed to find direction for my life, so I turned to fashion. I did not want to wear what everyone else was wearing so I got the idea to make my own clothes. That is when CLVR Threads started.
