Capo Vida translates to "Boss
Life." Capo is derived from Italian which literally means boss in English
and vida is derived from Spanish which translates to life in English.
How did this clothing line start:
Start has been an idea for
over a year but was pushed aside once we all began college due to the
separation. After we got comfortable with school, we started talking about the
idea of beginning a clothing line again. As time passed we started to become
more serious about actually launching a line. We sketched designs, did research
for people who can help us turn our ideas into reality decided to launch the
line in June of 2013.
Who is apart of CapoVida:
The main members of the
team are Danny, Tunji, Nate, and Stephon.
Who are y'all fashion
inspirations:
We all have various fashion inspirations. Marcelo Burlon,
Pharrell, Ricardo Tisci, Pusha T, Cristóbal Balenciaga just to name a few.
Why are they your inspirations:
These people are our
inspirations because they are able to make statement pieces but in a simple
way. They are always able to bring something new and creative to the industry.
An example is Marcelo Burlon's County of Milan. He was able to use abstract
designs to make a statement and bring a new idea of printing by printing around
the collar of his shirts.
