My phone interview with Sadiki of Unorthodox Clothing took place on November 14, 2013. I could literally feel his passion beating through his chest over the phone. Sadiki was fun to talk to and honest with his responses. He didn’t have cookie cutter responses for my questions. He was open and very descriptive. Sadiki has big dreams and a positive attitude that will carry him. His team and crazy work ethic will definitely get Unorthodox Clothing to that next level in the streetwear industry. I actually found out about Unorthodox Clothing through one of Sadiki's teammates, YouTube Guru, The Notorious Kia.

Where do you see your career within the 5 years?
S: I see myself as an entrepreneur, building on my dreams and making a difference. I see Unorthodox Clothing being a leader in the streetwear industry, expanding to Tokyo, London, to a bigger LA market, taking over New York, inside of a variety of department stores and boutiques.
What is your idea of “getting there?”
S: Long ways away in reality, but not in my mind. Realistically, I would just like to make a difference in the world. I want to change a lot of lives in a positive way and leave something for my family, particularly my daughter.
Sadiki wants to pave the way for those who will come after him. He wants to open up schools, starting in New York or somewhere on the east coast. Good, quality education is very important to Sadiki. The right schooling is important. He wants to change the system and create an atmosphere where entrepreneurs can thrive.
Who have you worked with and/or worked for? Who would you like to work with and/or work for?
S: I have worked for Nordstrom’s in the suit department, styling and taking measurements. I learned a lot about how you are supposed to look and carry yourself. Everyone is different and everyone will wear anything. A lot of people want to look normal, but Unorthodox Clothing is here to let people know that they can wear whatever they want to wear. We provide clothing and style for individuals.
