Positive Times is a women-led brand inspired by the connection of mind, body & earth, and the confidence that manifests from it.
We believe that what we wear directly affects how we feel, how we perceive ourselves, and how we project ourselves to others. We think not just with our minds, but with our bodies as well. Dressing with intention is a great way to start each day with purposeful self-expression. Everything we make incorporates materials and messages meant to evoke strength, positivity, and healing. Each piece is handcrafted and assembled mindfully with these core values in mind.
DIVISION is a design & fabrication studio based in Brooklyn, NY. With a background in architecture, the studio has been involved in the production of projects across multiple scales and mediums, from interior renovations, to large-scale sculptural installations, to product and furniture design. Our care for materials and methods is an extension of our continuing investigation of digital techniques and new ways of making.
Born Prince Adetomiwa A. Gbadebo in Abeokuta, Nigeria; Prince Gbadebo uses his Yoruba heritage and experiences to create his pieces based on emotions and the journey that life stitches; as well as embody a spiritual trance while he creates. As multiple beginning ideas develop in his conscious and unconscious mind, they tend to evolve into much more with the guidance of his Yoruba ancestors, Orisha’s and Philosophies. He also pushes to teach humanity to truly see what they are choosing not to, question all conscious solutions given; while selflessly aiming for positive progression for all alike and different. Yoruba spirituality and cultural music as well as activist and Afrobeat founder/musician Fela Anikulapo Kuti also has a huge influence on why he creates fierce and strong works of art today.
Yanbo Li turns ideas into things that people can see and sometimes touch. He engages the sweet spot between architecture and painting, fine art and design, thinking and doing, beautiful materials and beautiful ideas.
