This is a short interview to give you an idea what Onore is about.
Yes that’s definitively true, there are many straight edge company but, it was like I wanted to have something I created by my own and I had so many ideas that I thought it was the right time for me to start something.
Could you tell us who is involved in Onore Edgewear? What are the primary objectives of the company?
I’m the only one involved in OEW but a lot of friends help me for making designs that come from my brain becoming real! I thank them for the bottom of my heart: xCYRx, vPIERREv, ALEX. The only aim that I have is to make shirts with designs that I like, including things that I feel right for me as being Straight Edge and Vegetarian.
How would you describe the style of Onore clothes?
I would say that Onore Edgewear has a very classic style, mixing hardcore and tattoo's image.
Your designs have images of straight edge and vegetarian phrases. How important is it to you to spread this message via your designs?
For sure designs include straight edge and vegetarian’s elements because of those things are the root of the brand but one thing who's really important is not to include rude or violent words; I don't want people who are not vegetarian/straight edge to feel judged, all is about respect; I want people to think by themself.
Running a clothing line can be a very tricky business. Could you drop some advice on kids who might want to follow in your footsteps?
I don’t think I am able to give advice on kids because of all of this is very new for me!
What are some of the bands from your local scene you’re down with? I know that you’re personally involved in Providence…
There are many bands that I’m working with right now: Lazare , Fierce, Strike Back. And of course my band Providence. A cooperation with xConfrontox should start soon!!!.
Where can people find your clothing?
People can find clothes here : www.uselesspride.com and at providence’s shows! Soon they could order from the myspace via a Bigcartel.
What are your plans for the future with Onore Edgewear?
Making new designs!
