While few events in history have been able to incite millions of people to migrate to one focal point, all of the world will turn their eyes to the most historic U.S. Presidential Inauguration ever to commence on 20 January 2009. With masses drawing in from all parts of the globe to Washington D.C., one can only expect that groups and individuals will take on the task of representing their countries, cities, or in our case borough with what they wear! To mark this Inauguration Day with a fashionable twist, NEW premium apparel brand,
HUMAN INTONATION has created Brooklyn’s very own men’s and women’s Inauguration T-shirt for Brooklynites and wannabes alike. The slogan
“From BROOKLYN to BARACK” gets right to the point of how much we love being from Brooklyn, NY and support Barack Obama. As a fashion apparel brand, HUMAN INTONATION is dedicated to creating social awareness and raising funds for three of today’s social and human rights issues, providing 15% of the proceeds of each sale to their non-profit partners. Although the brand does not normally bring pop culture into their collection, founder and Creative Director Verneda Adele White could not envision passing on being apart of history.
As a small business based in Brooklyn, HUMAN INTONATION is also depending on President-Elect Obama to turn the economy around. "The more our brand is able to succeed the greater we are able to benefit our non-profit partners. We are inspired by Barack”, White says about what inspired the Inauguration Tee that includes the commemorative date on the back.
Success will allow HUMAN INTONATION to continue to use fashion as a medium to bring light to social & human rights issues that do not receive constant coverage in the media. While the brand has connected with non-profits include Hands On New Orleans, the Darfur Peace & Development Org, and Advocates for Youth, these organizations tangibly address social causes such as renewal post-Hurricane Katrina, the effort to continue education among youth most affected by the unrest in Darfur, and programs catering to youth and minorities HIV/AIDS prevention.
