ABOLISH
Starring: Mazen Alsafi, Daequan Brooks
A documentary short surrounding up and coming fashion brand Abolish and its creators Mazen Alsafi and Daequan Brooks. I dive into their motivations and struggles as they strive to release their first product into the New York streetwear scene.
When we think of New York and fashion, we often think of New York Fashion Week and supermodels and clothes that most people will never be able to afford. I wanted to bring to life the New York street wear scene in a way that’s grounding and inspiring at the same time. Abolish’s story, one that many Black creatives can relate to, is a story about staying true to your identity and carving your own way within an industry profiting on your likeness and culture.
