BRIGADE FOR THE @NYGIANTS AND GOT MY @JAZZYSWORLDTV INTERVIEW, WE ARE NEVER GOING TO FAIL!!! Thank you to everyone who made this possible. Almost a year ago I told my pops The Giants reached out to us and dude almost crashed the whip. Growing up in a Giants family, I knew we had to do it right. And you know when it came time for it, I had to put him in the commercial and lookbook! Legendary shit. Thank you to the goat @christianflamio for bringing the video vision to life every single time. Top 3 dude for sure. Thank you @teflontom for connecting the dots. @chuckys.play @ap.sk11 & @firing for working with me and locking in on the commercial and lookbook. @paulmerelle for shooting the lookbook. @harrisongable for consistently knocking shit out the park with me. And of course @sarahmaldonaudio for being the H(pregnant)BIC 🤰🏻 The collection is now available on our webshop as well as Giants webshop and at MetLife Stadium. What can Brigade possibly do next?!! 🤪

Brigade for @off____white SS26 “STAFF TEE” If you would’ve told me when I started making tees in my childhood bedroom 11 years ago that I’d get to make one with Off-White and see it being worn all over their SS26 runway show surrounded by murals painted by artists I grew up being inspired by, I wouldn’t believe you. 2025 has been a very exciting year for Brigade. This is what they’re going to look back on and reference in the next decade. Thank you so much @sarahmaldonaudio @harrisongable for trusting me and locking in on the brand. As of late, it feels like no matter what design challenge you lay in front of us we know what to do and where to take it. Grateful for what we’re all building together. Included are some scrapped designs we pitched. Tees dropping soon! FW25 still on the way hahaha what a crazy side mission!

FUTURE NEPO BABY ON THE WAY 👼 Found out we were pregnant on Day 3 of Paris Fashion Week back in June. Just when the world thought we didn’t need anymore Pisces, we’re excited for ours to arrive in 2026!

Gettin recognized in Paris 🅱️🇫🇷 Our first PFW Pop-Up and Showroom in the books. Grateful for everyone involved in making it happen. We told the boys “if we can design and develop a whole collection before June, we’re going to Paris.” Ngl, didn’t think we’d accomplish it. Was a surreal trip from the moment we landed to the moment I started writing this caption. Major love. Back to work!

FACES 6: @FAMILYSTYLEFEST 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒🏠 An ongoing medium format portrait series of the people in my life and travels.

NOW OR NEVER: A SHORT FILM BY BRIGADE This project was one of the wildest things we’ve ever been naive enough to try to pull off and I couldn’t be more proud of the pain we put in and the final product. The premiere at Extra Butter was hands down the best event we’ve ever had. The energy and love in the room could be felt from blocks away. Hearing everyone’s genuine reactions and excitement to each scene had my internal gratitude on levels I’ve never felt before. Thank you to everyone who came through and showed out! Everyone was fly af too!! Stop playin!! Shoutout to the whole @extrabutter team who made this feel and look effortless! Thank you to @tom.seager_ for putting in REAL PAIN and shooting/editing a whole 15 minute short film in 6 days on top of jet lag. @vondonunitednyc @bobothe_kid @jaemilez @ghostnacekillah @bigmanjugg @99.sense @vice.virtues thank you for trusting me with bringing this wild idea to life! Yall really some actors what the hell 😂 @subjxct5 thank you for creating a whole new score and letting us access your unreleased heat with @youngwhy @papo2oo4 @lordunknown718 to bring this to a whole different level sonically. @dnbdog thank you for accepting the gig the night before and showing up fr! Without knowing any of us or what we were even trying to do haha @harrisongable thank you for always putting in pain in the name of 🅱️ @sydneyschiff for always coming through with the plays that make the brand more and more thorough 🥃 And most importantly, thank you @sarahmaldonaudio for believing in the wild things I tell you we can accomplish together and seeing it all the way through with me. I love you in this life, the last life, and the next life. If you made it this far, trailer drops tomorrow! Full film will go live on YouTube this week 🫶

The big 3-0 🎂 Proud of who this little dude has become. Grateful for what my 20’s taught me and the people it brought into my life. Looking forward to the next decade of lessons, W’s, and most importantly L’s 🏆

🅱️O & @romestreetz T.O.N.Y. Bobo called me out of the blue and said he wanted to do a shoot in the FW24 Camo Suit on some War Report timing. Pulled up and made it happen for the young visionary. Salute to @vondonunitednyc A rising tide lifts all boats!
