manifesto
1SOUL is our forum for raising consciousness in the community. Operating as a grassroots organization, 1SOUL has funneled profits into youth development projects and social conscious efforts in the form of cultural exchange programs, mural tours, workshops, fashion shows and film screenings. We have worked with communities in NYC, San Francisco, Cuba, Vieques(PR), Mexico and Guatemala.
Whether it be visual art, music, performance art or literary, 1SOUL believes there's a social responsibility that comes with every art form. It is for this reason we have dedicated our work to the uplifting of our community, our peers, and the youth, not only through our designs, but also through 1SOUL's mission to promote social awareness and influence social participation.
about us
1SOUL is a grassroots Brooklyn based independent clothing company developed with the goals of inspiring, educating and stimulating the public to provoke change through culture, spirit, thought and political awareness. We are dedicated to the art of uplifting the consumers mind. We are tired of being prisoners of the commercialized fashion realm; we are always struggling to bring back "the message" in our designs.
1 SOUL was established February of 2004 fusing many styles. From Urban hip-hop to punk rock eclectics, mixed with the 70’s soul movement, its goal is to bring to the fashion world a different genre of style. A style where substance establishes over the commercial norm. Like its birthplace BROOKLYN, NY its is a melting pot of self expression. 1 SOUL bridges the gap between artist and fashionistas. Here to educate and inspire, every design comes with upliftment.
Our Designs are created with meaning, a meaning that is unique to the wearer. Considered art pieces within themselves, there is poetry in the designs, activism in each piece and there is a revolution in our craft. 1SOULDESIGNS brings to you liberation. Don’t let the movement
