Not many people are creating art that represents who they are, instead just trying to earn a paycheck by following trends. Inspiration and ingenuity are stagnate and everyone flocks to the latest manufactured fad in hopes of standing out as a unique individual. Gifted Unlimited clothing doesn't represent your normal corporation trying to take as much money as possible out of your wallets and pad it to our bank account. We're not just interested in replicating what's popular in pop culture. We have a passion for what we do and want to share what manifests itself with everyone in the world. We have aspirations in life, messages we want to deliver and we've chosen to take a few different approaches, creative at that, to share what's on our minds.
It started out as a few friends who met thru music. We did a few shows together, collabed on a few songs and created some really impressive graphics for musicians cd covers. We always bounced around ideas of creating our own clothing line because we were sick of seeing the same t-shirt, just with a different brand name and logo. We all had original views on the world and yet had the chemistry to each add our own personal flavour to a visual concept. That's when G.U was born... We're about making clothes with meaning. Clothing to make you think or just pleases the visual senses. We'd like to call ourselves hip hop but some days we feel like jumpin' on our skateboards and headin' down to the park, which would lead us to be labelled skater. Sometimes what's on our minds is politically driven, so then we'd be considered political activists. Other times we'd hit the books, studyin' hard for the next test, so we'd be considered students or maybe nerds to some. Then there are the days we're sellin' cds and t-shirts. Some would say we're hustlin' so then we'd be hustlers... That's when we realized that when all our minds are combined we could be considered a lot of different labels, so why choose one? Instead we focused on centralizing our thoughts onto a cotton canvas and creating originally concepted clothing, while keepin' it as fresh and cheap as possible.
We pride ourselves on seeing people wearing our clothing because it's appealing to them and is affordable enough to allow them to have enough money to show it off at a pub or skate comp later in the day. It's always nice finding a t-shirt that is cheap without jeoparidizing the quality and appearance... Gifted Unlimited strives on making dope clothes, period. We're not going to cut all our tshirts into v-necks and handwrite painful words across the chest because it's what's popular to the mass that worships whatever television hypes up at the moment. You'll never catch us puttin' diamonds or glitter on our shirts, or pre rippin' our hats to give it that 'authentic' trucker look that all the celebrities are claiming they started. We'll never jump on a trend and then look back like the eightees and say, 'what were we thinking...'
Our clothing is for everyone and anyone. Label it what you will just be sure to include fresh, dope or original somewhere in your sentence. We're clothing for the inspired, the passionate, the artsy, the skater, the hip hoper, the entrepreuner, the world. Here at Gifted Unlimited, we promise to never sell out NOR sell you out. Our shirts will maintain a reasonable price and never will we raise the cost to customers because we've gained a little more success. We make clothes because it's one of many inspirations that lead our life journeys. Catch us hangin' off a body loiterin' at a quick stop convinience store near you...
