Our community is often erroneously portrayed in cyber space as a culture that comfortably recline in the depths of poverty, while being guided by the sophomoric inclinations of sex, drugs and Rock & Roll. Statistical reports attempt to argue that we are a demographic that has increasingly become dependent upon and complacent with government resources. They argue we overwhelmingly utilize these handouts to live a daily/nightly “turnt-up” lifestyle in the dilapidated sections of the city. Staying true to our brand, The Flyy-Life decided to produce a quarterly segment, entitled “We Dem Boyz.”  In this segment we directly challenge these blanketed assumptions by alluringly highlighting some of the most vested and upwardly mobile stakeholders within our community and the City of Chicago. These are the fellas that are making noise and making moves. We define vested stakeholders as those who are utilizing their marketable skill-set and resources to add a vested footprint on our city/community.  Our intent is to illustrate, we are not all consumed with a lifestyle of impoverished frivolity. There are men within our community that are making waves in the community and the world at large. Nothing is freely given, but the future belongs to those who believes in the beauty of their dreams and make it happen….Here we go…

Julius Martin- The Designer Julius bio pic

 

Julius has always been destined for fashion greatness. Graduating from Howard University in Washington, DC with a Bachelors of Arts degree in Fashion Merchandising, Martin then moved to the fashion mecca, New York, studying at the Fashion Institute of Technology. He is currently studying at Harrington College of Art and Design in Chicago. Once in New York, Martin worked as a designer for Sean John, Fishman & Tobin, Liz Claiborne, Calvin Klein, Steve & Barry line inspired by New York Knicks player Stephon Marbury and Steve Harvey’s suit collection.  Through Martin’s collective experience, he mastered boys and menswear, which ultimately inspired him to launch his own brand.

model 44

After graduating from Howard  University and living in New York for over eight years, Martin relocated to Chicago. Martin states, “it’s important for me to design a line and introduce it to the Chicago area because I wanted to know how well it would be received in the Midwest. There are great designers here in Chicago and I wanted to bring my innovative and creative designs to the Chicago fashion community.” Martin feels as if the Chicago architecture landscape helps to inspire his collection. “The Chicago architecture is really distinctive because of the combination of old historical buildings and modern world-class skyscrapers. I think my fashion line is a fusion of the old and new. I look at my line as having two different concepts; traditional because of the durability of the fabrics I utilize but, with modern touches and details enabled by new technology.” Martin has built his line on a strategy that infuses the old and the new, and this is what Chicago is all about. The Berdan man is a man who works hard and strives for success every day. He also strives to look fashionable and modern while doing so. The Berdan man is knowledgeable about trends, but also appreciates clothes that are well constructed and durable. Much like Chicago’s landscape, Martin starts with the traditional concept and design of boxer briefs and then adds modern and innovative fabrication while incorporating intricate detailing for a tailored fit. His trunk show is scheduled for August 23rd at Red Kiva Lounge.

Figuratively speaking.” After college, Randy went looking for work and it was a tough market. Randy majored in Fine Arts and minored in Psychology so he had no clue make-up would be in his future. “I went to a store at the time that was, Hechts (now Macys) located in D.C. to apply for a visual merchandising position. Only to find out that it was filled. The HR rep suggested I apply for the shoe department which had an opening. Me needing a job I agreed. While waiting to be interviewed, I walked the store and stumbled upon the Cosmetics Department. MAC, a pretty well-known brand was there and had a ‘now hiring’ sign. I inquired. The manager at the time, asked me if I had ever done makeup. Ha! I had never done makeup on another person in my life but I told her, sure. I’ve done a few weddings and private clients. Lying but strategic, she set me up for an interview shockingly. Long story short, she had a model for me to do makeup on during the interview. I then discovered that I had a natural talent for beauty. I got hired and my friends were shocked.” MAC isn’t an easy cosmetic brand to work for, especially with little to no makeup and sales experience. Randy reflects back that he would have never guessed, way back then, that his career would be in the beauty and fashion industry. He’s living a dream and confident that there is so much more to come. “I am very excited. Stay tuned for future developments.”

He has effectively established himself as one of the crown jewels in the crown of Chicago’s upward mobility. Randy has proven that all things are possible and doors open when you embrace the upwardly mobile and hard-working mindset.  “My objective is to not fall in the typical realm of being just another Make-up Artist. I would like to set trends, break records, win accolades, be an innovator and exceed all mediocre expectation. I’d like to be an inspiration to a lot of people around the world. An educator. Make people and my clients happy and feel their very best. I get an authentic high from it.”

 Eddie Pierce- The Author 

319003_2149448208416_2935871_n

Eddie S Pierce is a two time self-published author and Chicago native. Eddie has been writing from a very early age crediting influences such as Richard Wright, E Lynn Harris and James Baldwin. “Their ability to give life to such vivid characters while exploring the complexities of the world in which they lived more than entertained, they inspired me to take a more critical and very necessary look at reality. I read their works and thought this is what I want to do with my life and talent,” said Pierce. Nearly three years ago Pierce began doing just that when he simultaneously self-published his first novel Love: Something Infinite, while launching his own publishing company Rainbow Room Publishing LLC.

Love Changes 1.0 FinalSince that time, Eddie has been on a campaign of self-acceptance and tolerance telling stories of loss and love, defeat and redemption in his second work Love: From Behind. “One of the most gratifying moments of my writing career was receiving an endorsement from James Earl Hardy an author whose works I have been following for years as I myself learned what it is to be an African American SGL male in our society,” Eddie commented. The bestselling author of the B-Boy Blues had the following to say about the central character named for and inspired by events in Pierce’s life: “Seron is on a journey to embracing love, realizing that it is not judgmental or conditional, that one’s capacity to give and receive it is endless… [He] stands in as an (Black SGL) Everyman. Struggling to define manhood–and, by extension, himself–in a world that too often refuses to recognize him as a man.”“Hardy welcomed me into the literary brotherhood. I knew I was on the right track,” Pierce concluded. Eddie is planning a much anticipated return to the literary scene with Love Changes, a four part eBook series scheduled for a September release.
