Angry Hero Clothing

 Angry Hero Clothing was created by some friends of mine out here in Chicago. Theres no better way to explain the concept behind the clothing than to have a quote from one of the designers....


"A lot of people have been asking what exactly is an ANGRY HERO... well the best way to answer that question is to start with the logo. Our logo is a cartoon hand holding up the peace sign with stitches in the index finger. The peace sign is representation of what everyone's idea of peace is. Most people are at peace when they are pursuing their passion and doing whatever it is that makes them truly happy. The stitches in the finger represent the point where something comes along and cuts off or discourages you from pursuing your dreams. This setback can stem from insecurity, an ill relationship, depression, lack of responsibility, or an uncontrollable situation. Instead of becoming angry and complaining, become angry and save what’s left of any opportunity to stitch together YOUR PEACE... Become an ANGRY HERO"

Black Fashion in the 1940's

Clean cut, fresh looks were the focus for Black fashion in the 1940's. Tailored pants, shirts and suits for men as well as tailored dresses and skirt suits for women. Looking good everyday was the motto and even babies were dressed in their Sunday's best.

First Recognized Black Fashion Designer

Elizabeth Keckley (1818-1907)

Born a slave in Virgina Elizabeth's mother taught her how to sew at an early age. Her outstading skills earned her money from family members and even her slave master. After buying freedom for herself and her sons she opened a dressmaking shop in Washington D.C. Her dressmaking impressed First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln and she was asked to design a gown for Mary's Inaugural Ball. President and First Lady Lincoln were so delighted by her dress that Elizabeth became Mary's personal dressmaker.
