BRNDD: Conversations with Creatives

Author: Donte Cotton & Ronald James

Branded by dictionary definition in the commerce world means carrying the brand or trademark of a manufacture. In todays world, the definition of a brand has opened up to much more. Brands can be the label names we wear, the companies we support, down to our own individual selves. This podcast will focus particularly on Brands in the streetwear world. As a part of Debonair Material, BRNDD will interview not just people behind the brands but also some of the influencers on these brands. Musicians, artists, athletes and store owners have created their own brand and we want to examine how these worlds collide. So tune in as host, Donte Cotton, Owner of Debonair Material takes you inside the streetwear culture.
