Our good friends and colleagues Josh and Trav just gave us the heads up on a project they’ve been working on for Black History Month. The Street Etiquette<\/a> duo has been hard at work with multiple projects, and this latest one they’re pulling off from their sleeve is nothing short of amazing. Enlisting the help of friends, SE has beautifully executed an editorial honoring some of the most influential and most stylist icons from Black History’s pasts. The group channels the styles of Miles Davis, Sammy Davis Jr., Cornell West, Nat “King” Cole, Gordon Parks, and more for their “Sewn From the Soul” editorial project. <\/p>\n

Sewn From the Soul is an online editorial project brought to light by seven friends who have all collaborated together in order to see a bigger picture; ultimately meshing and intertwining Style and History. History is important as it gives us the ability to trace back what has occurred previously to help us better direct ourselves to the future. Style contributes to one\u2019s overall character and truly dictates our persona in everything that surrounds us. We all contributed our individual style to this editorial and used a primarily monochromatic palette to assist the Black History Month theme.<\/p>\n

The video below is a behind-the-scenes look of what occurred at the photo studio, starting off with an amazing poem by Brooklyn resident and Street Etiquette friend Joekenneth Museau . There is no way to emulate the magic of that exact date, but to know that something tangible resulted from this gathering allows us, at long last, to begin to write our own scripture in history.<\/p>\n

This video is meant to honor individuals from Miles Davis to Dr.Cornel West with a splash of our own Street Etiquette style. We hope you enjoy the editorial just as much as we did. I would like to thank everyone who took part in this , it will definitely form into a bigger project in the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn essence, this is the time of the year when all blacks, be they African- Americans, Haitians, Liberians, Nigerians and all people of color need to reflect on their African heritage, culture and how far they have come in understanding the struggles and sacrifices others have made during the days of yesteryears in America.\u201d<\/p>\n
