BRAND PERSONALITY

Alife who? If you don’t know now you will

This is the brand that puts it out there. We have been the supreme before supreme. What we do di erent is that we care about the cra more than going commercial. That’s why we live on, and don’t care about climbing up so fast.

Once upon a time, no.

Cut the humble underdog story that makes you shed a tear or twoand takes you on a guilt trip for not making something out of your life from the age of 25. We not gon do that. Howeva, issa hella cool story. Listen without the guilt.

Once upon a time in the nick of time a group of 5 built a brand from a basement everyone was going through the shit of their lives that shit still did not go, does it ever really? It just felt a whole lot better cause fashion was their outlet. They believed in streetwear before it was a thing. Now it is. They Been here eva’ since 1999.

BRAND PURPOSE

VOICE

Watch your mouth

This is how talk we carry around a new yorkian accent. Whatever the hell that means. Feel free to be slang, feel free to type it as it is. Write it as it pops up in that big ol’ head of yours. For the sake of clarissa and clarity - think: slang, relentless, morphless. If you know what I mean. If you don’t get it, ask us or anyone from New York next to you.

slang relentless fulfilled loud morphless Sound like me

not a store.

We’re a shop

& art museum.

Be real. We put people first.

If you make people feel like a walking credit card, you’re fired.

Act right

We can write a whole buncha words that never make it. Like your cousin’s rap career. But we just won't do that. Cause we just don’t have the energy for things that lead to no where. Wanna act right? Wanna Alife? Live your life before judging the world. Do your thing. Respect. Love. Create. Build up, build on, build through. Shit, I wanted to keep this blank cause it don’t ma er what we say - if it don’t match how we do.

LOGO

GIMME

SOME

SPACE

All great logos have the guts to say no.

To set their boundaries.

We’re no di erent.

HOW MUCH SPACE?

You see that big circle above the a? That’s Circle 1.

Circle 1 is the center of the universe for now.

You chop up Circle 1 in half and spread it all around the logo.

That’s all the space we need.

Don’t show o your IQ by distorting, rearranging or remixing our logo without our permission.

We also added an illustration on the le , if words are not enough for your visual brain cells - wri en with love (kinda).

WHICH LOGO TO CHOOSE?

Go with your gut.

But if your gut’s not going, we got some guides...
