MILES Culture is a conceptual space located in the heart of Crown Heights on Nostrand Avenue specializing in original graphic designs, deadstock clothing and artist collaborations. Only a few months away from their 5-year anniversary on Nostrand Avenue, Tariq Holloway had this to say about the brand’s evolution:“When I first started the brand in 2011 I was asked to relocate from my home town of Philly to NYC to run a big box retailer. Brooklyn felt the most like Philly and so I planted roots in Bed-Stuy. Initially while working my full-time job, I would vend my graphics and deadstock clothing at some of NYC’s coolest outdoor markets–Hester St Fair, Afro Punk, Curl Fest, etc. The positive response from those festivals drove me to continue pushing the brand and look for more opportunities to get MILES Culture out there. I was lucky enough to apply for a pop-up space with a local non-profit in Bed-Stuy and won a month-long stay at an actual commercial storefront on Nostrand Ave. After the success of that pop-up I was pumped to open up a commercial space but was shocked by the price of NYC commercial rents. It took two years from that pop-up to secure the current space on Nostrand. This July makes 5 years in the space. That’s why our slogan is “Brooklyn based with love from Philly.”MILES Culture: 717 Nostrand Ave., Brooklyn, NY 11216 Tariqh@milesculture.com @miles_culture milesculture.com -- source link
