Slumflower


Two years ago, a visit to his old Bronx neighborhood prompted some questions in artist Joshua Kissi’s mind: What would it take to alter perceptions of these spaces that many people write off as “poverty-stricken” and “dangerous”? What if everyone who lived there looked different? The idea clicked and led to an examination of black and poor stereotypes through clothing.  
The last idea clicked. As a man who rose to prominence blogging about fashion under the moniker Street Etiquette, Kissi, along with his friend, collaborator and business partner, Travis Gumbs, found himself in a unique position to comment on the role of clothing in shaping public perceptions, -  Zac Cheney Ric (Mic News)
