Collective Emotions is a brand that wants you to literally wear your emotions. Their line of sweat shirts and T-shirts inspire people in color to express their feelings. With a group of five men I'm sure their is no limit to their creative juices and the things that they can and will come up with. This team represents NYC and the DMV areas,but they are looking to be a global brand,and I believe that they will be. These men are truly passionate about their dreams and wont stop EVER!!! They went from Preparatory school and hoop dreams,to now a year later with a successful clothing line, that just started as thoughts and words. SO whatever your 3motions,let it be better expressed by COLLECTIVE EMOTIONS,this line will be sure to get your point across,while maintaining a sense of Fly.

Question15: What is your motivation to keep designing and pushing your line?

Reply: The motivation for us lies in our everyday lives. As a group we make up Collective Emotions, and it is a way of expressing our thoughts, views, and opinions to the world. We don’t have any specific motivation, for we just love what we do. One quote that we have always held true “Don’t aim for success, if you want it, just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally”
