fear no
man is
something
i created
to express
myself
Ghanaians. I set out to meet and have a chat with
this enterprising individual to find out more about
him, his journey, his inspirations and Fear No Man.
I’m thinking of a number of questions to ask him.
It’s not every day I get to do interviews like this so
it has to be how I want it – interesting, informative
and inspiring. One question keeps popping up –
which I really want to ask him; ‘Why the name
Fear No Man?’ Sitting in his chair with his eyes
locked on the screen of his cell phone he responded
“Fear No Man is a move movement. It is something
spiritual and requires individuals with high spiritual
sense to understand what the brand stands for. Fear
No Man stands for a lot of things. The Man in the
phrase is a metaphor for anything that embodies
the nature of man. Man represents many things –
opportunities & failures – standing block and what
have you; essentially Fear No Man means don’t be
afraid of anything be it failures, standing blocks,
danger and so on. What we ought to fear as human
beings is God and nothing else. Being a spiritual
person and someone who connects to divinity
through humanity, I couldn’t think of a much better
name”. Urban fashion is certainly not a new culture.
There are several urban fashion brands out there
on the global market; Off-White – Dope –Supreme
– Vans and a lot more. So having a Ghanaian brand
competing with the best in the industry seems
exciting. Inside his studio where we are having
our conversation, I thought to myself ‘this guy is
an art scientist’. Everything in this square space
summarizes up the nature and personality of
Kulaperry. The interior is everything art and urban
culture. Hanging on the walls are paintings which
he did himself, relics of urban culture – helmets –
skateboard – masks- bats – let me end it here.
Now I’m inspired to get this interview rolling. How
did it all start? “I will say my dad got me started on
this journey. Growing up he will buy luxury brands
and items for me. I grew up knowing what style is.
