Fineart used to Create Fashion that Becomes Art
We create wearable art and combines the love of fashion and art into one.
The initial company that was formed by Derrick Grant and Julyan Grant had the goal to use artwork created by Derrick to generate images on fabrics that then would be used to make T-Shirts, leggings, sweatshirt and hoodies for sales online and in stores. I have always thought about expropriating the art that we see on walls in the museum and galleries and having it personally with me everywhere I go. In the Digital Age, many people can now have art pieces appear on the screen of their phones as a way of keeping images they like with them. This approach to fashion would generate a concept of wearable art.We accomplished this through the process of Dye Sublimation printing, since it is able to reproduce the colors of the art exactly and it is durable. I decided to begin creating high-end designed fashion garments using fabric printed with my artwork. This would personalize the fashion items and be uniquely created for clients. Personal identity has always played a major role in the discussion of fashion, especially as individuals make consistent fashion choices as to the way they want to display themselves to the public. Fashion acts as the most explicit presentation of ego (conception of ourselves in our perceived reality) as our fashion choices play out our artistic expression. |

Dkdesignfashion's main goal is to combine art and fashion. Many companies sell clothes that contain simple meaningless graphics, while here we strive to create clothes that are wearable art and have meaning rather than just your average graphic tee. In a world where science, math, business and technology evolve so quickly, art can be left behind. We strive to bring art back to society without the focus of a price tag. We bring art to fashion and our style are designed to stand out and make an artistic statement.

NLW-MasterPioneer Awards at the Brooklyn Music School
Fashion Event- 2017
This show was coordinated by Mr. Tyrone Farley (@Truefasionistanow). This show demonstrates the merger of high fashion with creative natural hair styles in black males. Extending back to prehistoric era we have evidence that hair is the most essential and original fashion statement we humans possess. Even before we had the ability to assemble animal hides into clothing, primitive people ornamented their hair.
In effect, the show is a modern-day attempt to reclaim the dignity of those early African cultures by appropriation of European colonialist style in combination with African clothing. Thus these garments help us to regain strength through-creative reconstruction; i.e., reparation of our cultural-identity by reversing the historical superpower-roles of the Europeans. Thereby, we not only rediscover our identity and our past through our hairstyles, but with the use of new fashion, we are also establishing our future empowerment. Thus, metaphorically we are overcoming our constant struggle as black Americans, by destroying the post-colonial cultural-ego placed on us by the creation of new conceptual fashion that embodies our ancestral heritage in a novel way.
