ISSUE 1 NOTES:

ME-RA-KI

SAINT.

THIS ISUUE HAS BEEN INSPIRED AROUND

THE PANDEMIC THAT HAS EFFECTED

ALMOST EVERYONE’S DAY TO DAY LIFE

AROUND THE WORLD. OUT OF THESE DARK

AND UNPRECEDENTED DAYS , AN ARRAY

OF BRANDS & NEW BUSINESSES HAVE

SPROUTED AND CREATE SOME LIGHT. MY

LIGHT WAS PLANTING THIS SEED OF

SAINT.MERAKI TO SHOWCASE ALL THE

CLOTHING, ACCESSORIES AND SNEAKERS

THAT I & MANY OTHERS CREATE AND

LUST OVER EVERYDAY. THIS ISSUE WAS

INSPIRED BY HOW PEOPLE HAVE TAKEN

THIS TIME AND FOUND A WAY TO MAKE

SOMETHING GOOD OUT OF THIS

SITUATION. NOT ONLY HAVE WE HAD

CORONAVIRUS ATTACK ALL OF OUR

HEALTH ,BUT THEIR HAS ALSO BEEN THE

INNOCENT MURDERING OF INNOCENT

CITIZENS IN AMERICA THAT BRUTALLY

LOST THEIR LIVES DUE TO THEIR SKIN AND

INNOCENT MUSLIM CITIZENS IN CHINA

LOSING THEIR LIVES DUE TO THEIR FAITH.

WITH ALL OF THESE THINGS HAPPENING

AROUND THE WORLD, I WAS EVEN MORE

INSPIRED TO USE THE FREEDOM THAT I

TAKE FOR GRANTED EVERYDAY TO SHOW

THE SMALL THINGS THAT KEEP ME GOING

IN A WORLD OF MADNESS AS WELL AS THE

POSITIVE THAT HAS COME OUT OF LO-CK-

DOWN.

SWOOSH

SOCIETY

WRITTEN BY @JXYBELLE

THE CUSTOM SNEAKER BUSINESS HAS STARTED TO

TAKE OVER THE WORLD. TAKE A LOOK INTO ONE OF

LONDON'S CUSTOM SNEAKER COMPANIES

SWOOSH SOCIETY IS A UNIQUE

CUSTOM SNEAKER COMPANY

INSPIRED BY THE ENDLESS

POSSIBILITIES OF A CANVAS. AS A

SNEAKER ENTHUSIAST I ALWAYS

LOOKED IN STORES AND AT MY OWN

COLLECTION AND WAS NEVER ABLE

TO FIND THE PERFECT SNEAKER THAT

I FELT SHOWED WHO I WAS.

COMBINING MY LOVE FOR ART AND

SNEAKERS I WAS ABLE TO CREATE

EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR.

WHEN I REALISED THE POTENTIAL OF

WHICH THIS HAD FROM OFF CUTS OF

FABRICS AND SPECIALIST PAINTS, I

BECAME HOOKED. AND BEGAN TO

RECIVE COMLIMENTS AS WELL AS

GET NOTESTED AND CONTINUIOUSLY

BE QUESTIONED OF THE

WEARABOUTS OF THE SNEAKERS I

WAS WEARING. THIS IS WHAT

FURTHER INSPIRED ME TO TURN THIS

INTO A BUSINESS, ALLOWING ME TO

FUFILL OTHER PEOPLES CREATIVE

BREIFS INTO A SWOOSH SOCIETY

CUSTOM.

DURING THE LOCKDOWN

ENCOURAGED ME TO PUSH THE
