YOUNGBLOOD RAIMENT: BEYOND YOUR STYLE

How was life growing up?

“Exciting and tons of challenges. Not so easy to be honest but you need to endeavor in order for you to survive.”


When did you first begin to witness you had creative talents?

“I never notice this. Only the people around me.”


How did the name YOUNGBLOOD RAIMENT come about?

“I’m not an expert sa mga bagay bagay kaya the brand itself is me, I’m a Young blood. Its a different meaning when you separate Young from Blood. Then, raiment is just only a counterpart of clothing, apparel. (If you read the dictionary).”


Why did you decide to choose making clothes your medium of choice?

“First I started as a reseller of some local brands back in 2011. Brands like Nick Automatic, Divit Clothing (Laguna), Skills and Bones. When I was involved in the music scene, nakita ko ang kultura at suporta ng mga tao sa mga local clothing. You'll meet and know different people. So nag decide ako why not try create own brand.”


With starting a brand, there’s always adversity you face in the beginning. What difficulties have you faced so far?

“Introducing your brand to the people. The marketing strategy na kelangan mo talagang pag aralan.”


There are a lot of brands out right now. How do you look to set yourself apart from them?

“The brand itself.”
