Tear.co: The Path Of Streetwear for the Creative Soul.
Origins- creative kid inspired by Japanese cartoons
Been on this creative ting since 05
As a kid, I always was the creative type constantly envisioning characters inspired by anime that I’d watch such as Pokémon and games that I’d secretly take from my older brothers room and play such as dragon ball Z to satisfy my curiosity that was inspired by this type of foreign art.
I’d spend hours making my own characters with backgrounds and unique story lines on the floor which would seem like random pictures to overs, only to splash a whole load of color onto a once great piece of art, but in my head I was envisioning the story play out and was very happy with myself.
See picture down below of proof of the antics-
As I grew up and met my partner in crime a true brother to me in secondary school with the core of our friendship being facilitated with our love of anime, it was not long until we decided to get our pen and papers out to write our own story’s and our own anime.
Through many years this ragtag collection of stories, our dreams our constant back and forth’s of storylines grew and became a fully fleshed out series in our heads. We wanted to create a anime which spanned across different timelines showing countless depictions of history and highlighting our own African-Caribbean origins.
I then started to explore different creative mediums, and was always the kid that could make whatever i wore stand out and look good, I was Mr put it on and my peers, and family realized this, so would constantly ask me for advice on fashion, I was the guy they called when they was going up town!!
I guess I gained my creative niche of fashion from my mum who to would design clothes in art school and would as I grew up sow and make pieces from fabrics, so her creative spirt has been pass onto me.
Then a bright idea came my way which was to design a brand which not only targets other creatives but also act as a bridge between fashion and character design.

The brand- aim..
I believe streetwear as expressive as it can be has become stagnated in London with the success of brands such as Trapstar which I do mess with heavily and other brands which follow a similar narrative.
One that has broken out of this is Cortez which has paved the way for more creativity in the field and acts as a huge inspiration for this project of mine.
So the true meaning of Tear.co is to be ambiguous and not contained to norms, to be Expressive and fun, so with each drop I plan to have a story which others can interpret and have a theme behind it.
What does streetwear mean for me?
In the vibrant world of streetwear,fashion isn’t just about what you wear—it’s about how you express who you are. For those who thrive on creativity, streetwear serves as a powerful canvas, allowing you to showcase your individuality.
