Today is the launch of 1:Face Watch - a movement to change the world through a line of fashionable watches that benefit 6 causes and charities. Each color watch is paired with a cause, charity, and specific metric. With each watch purchased, the charity will fulfill the metric, supporting that cause and creating a change for people that you yourself created. For example, 1 white watch (Hunger) feeds 16 malnourished children in Africa, courtesy of One Day's Wages. The other charities 1:Face is working with are: Charity:Water, National Breast Cancer Foundation, The Adventure Project, Keep A Child Alive, and the American Cancer Society.
We've been able to see the final stages of this year-long process come to fruition first hand through our close connection to Creative Director of Mirza Minds, Fam Mirza, and his 1:Face team here in Chicago. I couldn't stress enough the hard work they've put in to make these positive changes for the world possible and it's a movement that we at Gowhere Hip Hop gladly and fully support!
We encourage you to do the same by pre-ordering your watch over at 1FaceWatch.com. Get a closer look at the watch, what causes and charities the movement benefits, and all the info over on their site and via the powerful video below.
Recently I interviewed Fam Mirza, Creative Director of the Mirza Agency, a celebrity branding firm. You might have seen their recent project "The Bed Intruder Costume" which has been all over the TV & Internet lately. The costume is of the viral sensation Antoine Dodson known for his News Intreview which was turned into a smash hit known as the "Bed Intruder Song."
The Mirza Agency is a full service celebrity branding agency that specializes in brand management, product identity, event production, artist bookings, and much more. They are known for the Diddy party event concept, The Beyonce Experience, and the beloved Bed Intruder Costume.
Mirza said that's not all the agency is known for. The Agency is responsible for the split jersey worn by Nelly at the Super Bowl Half Time Show several years back. The split jerseys were one of the biggest fashions trends of the decade. They are in the process of relaunching the website splitjerseys.com which will be live before the Super Bowl.
