In October of last year, the Hawks and Atlanta Fashion Week (ATLFW) identified Honor Roll Clothing as a local brand that goes beyond retail and supports the Atlanta community. ATLFW is the ultimate resource for fashion designers and represents fashion as a conduit for expression in design, music, and visual arts.
“Through this collaboration, ATLFW and the Atlanta Hawks are both committed to creating opportunities that fosters equity and inclusion for independent brands,” said Angela Watts, founder of Atlanta Fashion Week.
“We appreciate the Atlanta Hawks supporting our mission of giving independent brands like Honor Roll the positive push, they need to shape a sustainable future for their business.”
Honor Roll Clothing was founded in 2010 by Blair Caffey, Chris Duncan and Darnell Shepherd. The unisex lifestyle brand is dedicated to utilizing its creativity to challenge the perspective of culture. Honor Roll’s clothing uses inspirational phrases and imagery to cultivate the community.
“Honor Roll Clothing is proud to partner with Atlanta Fashion Week and the Atlanta Hawks for this limited-edition collection,” said Duncan. “Together, we embody the soul and heart of what makes Atlanta great: perseverance, creativity and heritage.”
