FOUNDER AND CREATIVE DIRECTOR I was born in Jamaica and grew up in New York City where I attended the High School of Fashion Industries. I began to create costumes after attending my first Burning Man in 2013, where I was impressed by the level of beauty and creativity on playa. Seeing people express their individuality through dancing and costuming is one of the most beautiful things I've witnessed at Burning Man and other transformative festivals. I left my career in business administration, and since 2015 have been designing full-time creating wearable art. YOSHI

After years of attending parties where I'm motivated and inspired by the people around me, I believe that costume culture and the Burning Man principle of participation should be the norm everywhere. When you contribute to the aesthetic vision of an event by expressing yourself in transformative couture, you make the experience better for everyone around you. Mediocrity should not be the norm. My goal is to spread good vibes on the dancefloor through my designs, and inspire others to express their authentic selves. I want everyone who wears my clothing to experience a transformation, feeling empowered because they're adding beauty to the world.

ART DIRECTOR / MEN'S WEAR CO-DESIGNER I was born in France and grew up in Marseille, I began photography in 1998 and then also delved into the other fields of digital visual arts. I am a self taught artist who took advantage of our digital era where you can learn almost anything you want online if you are consistent with tutorials. I worked with different big name brands in the sport industry over 10 years producing digital content for their advertising campaigns (pictures, films, graphic design). I also had several solo and non solo photography exhibitions in Marseille, Paris, Nantes and NYC on various themes like Burning Man or People of Bangladesh. GILLES BONUGLI KALI

My motto is « Diversity Makes Sense ».

that is also why I don’t stick to only one photography style or even one artistic discipline. I love to take a picture as much as to edit a video or design a laser cut wearable piece.
Nowadays my main goal in life is to help my wife to grow our brand.
I will put all the techniques and everything I learnt in the past years to achieve this goal.

From 2019 onward, we will be traveling around the world, exploring new countries and international festivals, creating artistic content and blogging about our adventures abroad. I'm excited to find new sources of inspiration and connect with people from different backgrounds. Please get in contact if you would like to collaborate on any artistic projects! FUTURE PLANS
