The street brand is amazing no buts about it, i love the retro early 1990's fashion a la Karl Kani mecca and Fubu. i almost expect to see or should i say love too see Gazelles , Kangol and Kufis. their designs remind me of the good days of black / pan african nationalism thats is greatly needed today. Agi studied Fashion Design at Manchester School of Art and Sam studied Illustration at University of Lincoln. While producing print for Alexander McQueen, Karl Lagerfeld, J.W. Anderson, Armand Basi and Carolyn Massey, he learnt the theory of production, colour and fabric. Agi trained at a Soho based tailors, before spending a year with Alexander McQueen working alongside the menswear team. At McQueen, he learned primarily the importance of research, and the extent at which creativity can be explored. He then went on to work for himself briefly before setting up Agi & Sam.
