Our Editors’ Top Five Urban Clothing Brands

Teens love fashion, and that goes to say all of us. With recent trends growing real fast, it is highly coming up to be a pacesetter in what society and the young community desires. Fashion editors of High School Magazine considers these to be the top urban lines of 2021.

Fear No Man

The ”Fear No Man” Line is one of the composites of Kulaperry Clothing. Kulaperry Clothing is comprised of three lines, which are; ”Fear No Man,” ”Royalty” and ”Loyalty”. Since its release, news of the clothing line has gone viral as many wonder about it. The ”Fear No Man” clothing line Logo portrays a white human face with a red strip across the eyes of the face. There is definitely some level of mystery to this very interesting logo design.

The young entrepreneur explains that, the ”Fear No Man” logo represents the African heritage. The color white was chosen for the face because it stands for cleanliness and purity. The red color for the strip represents the hustle, toil and struggle of Africans endured in achieving their dreams. In deeper context, the position of the red strip across the white face depicts the act of meditation and prayer when one has to actually close their eyes and focus on God. The entirety of the logo seeks to highlight on the practice of seeing and speaking no evil. ”Fear No Man” is a line that stands as a symbol for people who fear nobody except God.

Exklamation

Started by Augustus ‘Tagor’ Quartey Tagor, his love for fashion was developed at an early age. In describing his introduction to fashion and merchandising, and the inspiration behind Exklamation, Tagor says:

“When I was growing up, we didn’t have TVs. We did however have a lot of storybooks, magazines, and atlases. My mom used to travel, so we had publications like SourceVibe, and Essence Magazine, and up-to-date storybooks from countries like the UK and America. She did her best to make sure we were well-rounded, so we could speak well with varying demographics. When I read Source Magazine, I noticed that after every 3 or 4 pages there were advertisements, like Sean John or Mecca. That used to inspire me.”

“I ended up reading more about branding and understanding the importance of it. I applied all of this to Exklamation, which I began planning in December 2016, and launched as a thrift store in March 2018. I am now transitioning to a clothing brand. I have a lot of sketch artists, graphic designers, etc who work with me and who are the backbone of Exklamation.”
