Loving @BrooklynCloth , Their Passion & Their PRIDE

 BB answered an email titled- LGBT PITCH: PRIDE collection by Brooklyn Cloth, and is so glad she did!  As is customary, BB received clothing samples to faciliatate the post, pero what is not customary was the calidad, definitely sobre lo usual.  Lo bueno es Bueno, but the quality of clothing, and the message behind them were so espectacular que Babushka and BB’s Little One had to take a ride down to St. Petersburg for the perfect backdrop for these perfect piezas.  

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!

"Introducing the PRIDE Collection by Brooklyn Cloth, with a focus on awareness in regards to the LGBTQ community and what it means to be proud of who you are. The clothing line is centered around love, equality and unity, with the most iconic symbol being the rainbow because of its inclusivity into the community, welcoming every color. The collection incorporates all the splashes of color onto the garments, giving each piece boldness. To counter all hateful rhetoric, the founders incorporated common, yet powerful symbols such as the smiley face, peace sign, and the heart to reinforce that the message of “love."

Brooklyn Cloth is a fashion-forward line in the “fast fashion” junior’s market, co-founded by Daron Jacob while working with Urban Outfitters and Tilly’s. Jacob noticed many of the men’s products in the mass market were too pricy, so he created fresh designs for a low price point with Brooklyn Cloth. Created to fit the laid-back, yet distinguished individual that roams the boroughs of New York City, the design team mirrors this demographic and lifestyle. The energy and attitude of bustling streets and the vibes of the East Coast are woven into the fabrics of the garments, giving off an authentic, pure aesthetic of this unique lifestyle. The makers design their own fabrics, beginning from the yarn level— focusing on items such as Joggers, Shorts and tees using Space Dye and Snow. Jacob notes, “We are focused on the Gen Z consumer. Someone who is not defined as one fashion or style but likes to change up their looks depending on their mood.”

Marvelous mensaje verdad Beautifuls? Gen Z may be their target, but BB's Millenial fell in love with them imediatamente. Any and all ages can wear these. Honestly, seeing her so feliz and comfortable in the clothing filled this Babyboomer with hope y nostalgia. Si, Pride in every sense of the palabra.

Little One feeling happy and worthy.

Feeling Bella gracias to Bella clothing and surroundings.

Gracias Tio Sam & Happy Birthday America

If you've been following Babushka you know I'm all about the positive, wonderful things in life. So if you think this is a political statement JU SO FONII!!! Ok, si, maybe a little, but mainly it's about gratitude. Gratitude to a country that welcomed and still welcomes my people from Cuba.

Mil Gracias to you mi querido USA,

 for as a first generation Cuban American I can never say it enough.

 I know what my fate would have been if you hadn't welcomed my family.
