TV, so fun!

We have been filming with the cast of "Out and About" this last week for their series to air statewide this Fall on FOX. It was a ton of fun to work with the cast, actually we had worked with Robin before in our last runway show. We will keep you posted when it airs.

2 steps to restore your broken friendships

1. Forgive them.
2. Ask for forgiveness...
Why make it any more complex, and simply make people valuable not obligations.

"Grow in Peace" my love

Every time I meet someone one and we talk about what we do for a living the conversation usually goes to "Where did you go to College" and/or "What did you Study". Now my response is a good one because it throws people off and they don't know exactly how to respond. "I have a degree in Agricultural Science, with an Option in Education". Now i own a clothing brand. Blank stare is the dominant response so far.

Our lives are twists and turns that put us in places we never could have foreseen. College taught me a lot about myself, but my mistakes have taught me more.
Being married you learn even more about yourself and my biggest hope is that when hard times hit you are able to recover, heal, and then grow again!
For my wife I designed this shirt. May she grow in beauty and in peace!

The Show...Part 2

Just received some of the pictures from our performance show we did last week.
We decided to incorporate some drama to the piece that represented themes that need renewal. Here you will see three, Addiction, Poverty, and Loss of Innocence.
All three in the performance were "Restored" from these afflictions and it was quite powerful!

Restored Fashion Show

WOW.. need i say more?? If you missed out on our spring 2009 Fashion Show, I mean it, you really missed out! Live DJ, photographer, female and male runway models, hip hop dancers, live band, huge catwalk, oh and restored clothing of course! It was a lot of work but definitely worth it. The crowd seemed to love the show and really show interest in what restored is all about.

It was really inspiring to see how much restored has really grown right in front of mica's eyes, its a dream come true to him and a much deserved blessing! On the note of restored growing, i have my first appointment for the end of this month which is a huge deal for me. In this recession we are going through, times have been really tough on everyone. So that's it for now, I will keep you posted as my life goes around!

Four Reasons why we are not just another Clothing Company

1. Restoration is a Human need
It doesn't matter where you from or what your life experience has been, you have been hurt, you have seen some form of injustice, or you have desires to grow through seasons of pain, fear, or affliction. Restored Clothing wants to encourage your personal journey and put out designs that reflect this human need.

2. The power to give is in your hands
We decided from day one that Restored's giving would be determined by the customer. We felt a strong desire that our clothing should be a voice for those we support financially and so it calls upon you to understand when you pick the size of the shirt you want you must also learn who you are helping when you pick a charity to give to. We wouldn't have it any other way...

3. There is more than meets the eye
When we work with a designer we ask them to tell us a story with their art. A story of renewal, of victory, or remembrance. It is facinating to see what the heart puts down onto paper and then we get to share it on our clothing. Take the time to read the stories behind the designs.

4. We do it the hard way
We have the joy of printing and embellishing each piece by hand. We feel that this gives the work the same uniqueness as the person who wears it. Both are fashioned in hope.
