This exciting news marks the brand’s international expansion and solidifies its position as an urban lifestyle-fused clothing brand. Known for its unique and edgy style, Passionate Rebel has gained significant notoriety in the fashion industry, and its debut at Paris Fashion Week is sure to be a highlight of the event. With its bold designs and commitment to pushing boundaries, Passionate Rebel is a brand to watch out for in the world of fashion. Here is the exclusive interview on the major news.
What inspired Passionate Rebel’s debut collection for Paris Fashion Week 2024?
Our introduction to the Passionate Rebel brand always highlights the characteristics and beliefs we embody as people and as a brand. Our placement in Fashion Week Studio’s PFW show is an introduction to a new platform, world, and community of Passionate Rebels. With that in mind, our goal for this collection is to create a conversation visually, with our new audience. Each piece allows the viewer to learn of the mission of Passionate Rebel, beliefs we stand on, and how we represent Passionate Rebels worldwide!
How does Passionate Rebel differentiate itself from other streetwear brands?
The overall message of Passionate Rebel is universal. Creative wise, our ideas are inspired by people from all walks of life. We’ve become multifaceted in a sense of creating clothing that connects with community initiatives. This connection serves as a bridge that allows various communities to connect with our movement. Our aim is to always inspire people to tap into their inner Passionate Rebel. Being a Passionate Rebel is about growing within society, and that’s what we push for as the end goal with our brand.
Can you tell us about the materials and fabrics used in your debut collection?
The preparation for this collection has been very rewarding and exciting. I’ve been able to gain more insight on how to put together a strong collection through various resources. From the beginning, I’ve been able to connect with people working for manufacturers who are very knowledgeable of the fashion field. The exciting thing about this process is the different fabrics I’ve been able to experiment with such as Jacquard straps for our Fanny Packs, Polyurethane leather for our duffle bags, jacquard knit fabric, acrylic, and cotton material used for our sweaters. Also, we’re experimenting with the use of matte woven shell and lining for our newest Ponchos, and digital printing for our khaki pants design.
What kind of message does Passionate Rebel aim to convey through its clothing?
Our message is simple: Rebel Against Not Following Your Passion! Our logo and clothing are symbols of graduating in life by acquiring things that aid in the betterment of not only yourself, but for others. Each clothing item promotes individuality, conveys unity, highlights Self-Direction/Passion Awareness, and generates positive dialogue throughout our community. As a brand, we not only want to be accepted across various markets, but we want to make sure we’re accepted in the appropriate fashion. We want to uplift people internally as much as we want them to look fly and cool externally.
Who is the ideal customer for Passionate Rebel’s debut collection?
There’s no short range on the ideal customer for this collection. I believe anyone that’s into fashion or just creative things will sport these items. Your World Traveler, Fashionista, Doctor, Blogger, Magazine Editor such as yourself, or Teacher will look very cool in our Passionate Rebel poncho, Signature Bubble Coat, or PR Sweater with our Signature Passionate Rebel Duffle Bag. Again, our designs are created to embrace people from all walks of life.
How does Passionate Rebel plan to incorporate sustainability into its future collections?
Everything fluctuates, especially in business and fashion. For Passionate Rebel to incorporate sustainability is by applying great business practices. Just knowing that our collection needs to be adopted across the market, supported at all levels, and our brand acts with the best intention to protect people and the planet.
Can you give us a sneak peek into upcoming collaborations or partnerships?
Lol dang you guys are nosey, just joking. Currently, we’re just taking 2024 to focus on getting everything done for Paris Fashion Week. The entire experience requires a great deal of time beginning from the build up to the actual show and to the completion of the show. The hope is that after Fashion Week is done, we’ll have generated a myriad of connections for 2025.
How does Passionate Rebel plan to stay relevant in the fast-paced fashion industry?
The fashion industry fluctuates by the second. Staying relevant requires major production capabilities, quick responses, and capabilities to adapt to changes. For me, I’m visible in my field of work. Such is achieved by a daily practice of actively maintaining communication and a level of engagement by attending fashion week or networking events, working closely with my team, and working with my youth ambassadors. I rely more so on my communications with my youth ambassadors, who in turn convey “what’s hot, what’s not, and what’s needed.” Often, I direct my focus on what’s needed.
Can you discuss any challenges or obstacles faced during the creation of the debut collection?
Yes, many! I’ve done NYFW before, but the preparation for Paris Fashion Week is immensely different. This is Passionate Rebel’s first Fashion Week display out of the country. Hopefully, not be our last. Obstacles such as making sure the manufacturer is on point in creating all designs that are submitted, arranging travel, and preparing marketing photoshoots are just the beginning phases. Working with the manufacturer is a challenge because we’re at a distance when these items are being completed. I believe the biggest obstacle I’m facing right now is hoping that my major support system will be able to be present for the show! Allah (God) will provide, so I’m not worried.
What can we expect from Passionate Rebel in the future?
Passionate Rebel is looking to expand into various retail stores with new collections. Hopefully, with success and exposure from PFW, Passionate Rebel will gain a great deal of followers and generate global interest for the brand. We’re going to stay active in what we’re doing and remain connected to our core followers.
