OGF Slick and his clothing brand GIfted Misfit have taken the world by storm. In an interview with Kendyl Kellum for Creative A Fever, the renowned designer spoke about his vision for the brand and how his background helped him create the style that has become a trendsetter.

As a designer, OGF knows what people love to wear, and he has put all that into creating a line of clothing that redefines urban style. But he insists that it’s more than just clothes. Gifted Misfit aims to provide a voice so people can be themselves and shout who they are to the world. 

He has slowly paved his way into the fashion world and decided to jump-start his clothing brand with a clear vision in mind. And he accomplished it as they became more than just clothes, his line became a symbol of the rebellion against conformity with the world as it is today. The success that Gifted Misfit has achieved is mainly due to the mix of urban aesthetics and brand identity. This is true when it comes to the brand’s main idea: being different from everybody else. This has resonated with their fans who have gladly embraced the concept and wear their outfits proudly wherever they go.

As Gifted Misfit reach new milestones, its creator, alongside his team, are working hard to to shape the future of the brand and it’s vision, allowing people to be proud of themselves and interact directly with the founder.

A matter of influence

The brand’s motto is very clear: “It’s not who influenced you, it’s what influenced you the most,” this speaks on the importance of the experiences that shaped the identity of every person, everybody is different, and that has to be celebrated. Slick found great resonance in Pastor T.D. Jakes’ teachings about accepting one’s differences served as the inspiration for the name “Misfit.” Jakes frequently discusses how those who don’t feel like they belong are the ones who are meant to be great.  

The brand’s central concept of accepting oneself is ideally aligned with this relationship to Jakes’ philosophy. More than just apparel, Gifted Misfit is a movement that inspires people to value their distinctiveness and the distinctive life events that have molded them. Greatness frequently comes from individuals who dare to be different, as demonstrated by Slick’s story and the brand’s statement and character.
