Noi Le Persona

 
unitedcivil-1 What is Civil, you ask?  "Civil was created in the year 2003 in southern Los Angeles. One mind thought of a concept of supporting all the cultures he grew up on or respected. Skateboarding, surfing, bboying, graffiti, bmx, fashion, basically most urban and street cultures.Most of these cultures have unsung heroes within them. The goal is to shine the light on the people who don't get the recognition they deserve. The underdogs. Civil doesn't generalize itself as one fad. We don't consider ourselves skateboarders, breakdancers, graff artists, or greasers. We consider ourselves a symbol of these cultures because we either admire them or lived them.Thus, leading Civil to represent everything we grew up on and appreciated.We are a moving, breathing, entity, and a representation of street/urban cultures. Noi le persona..which means We the people. Civil represents the people." Civil just finished their fall/ Holiday 2009 Collection. They are really excited to present this body of work, as they feel it as progressive and represents a forward thinking aesthetic that fits in well with LA and the artistic community.
