It's all about the details

Ron Finley’s Freedom Pant and Uprising Hoodie are complemented by his Necessities Tote, Necessities Tee, Values Long Sleeve and Garden Bandana, which feature positive affirmations and artwork created by Ron’s son, Kohshin. 'I mean, our basics aren’t really what I want to think of as basics,' Ron says of his designs.

’There is no trash, there’s only art waiting to happen and that’s what I love about what we’ve done.’

‘I studied tailoring when I was 15 and with that I realized that clothes weren’t made for me. It just got me into a thing that my whole life should be customized.’

Read our interview with Ron where he discusses the details behind his designs, measuring success, levitating and more.

'The line is somewhat of a social statement, it’s just a way for you to look at things differently. If you operate from a place of comfort, everything is going to be beautiful. Nobody can fuck with your happy, you realize that you make yourself happy.'

Daily Affirmation

’When I wake up I’m successful,’ says Ron. ‘I’m not measuring my success by what we’ve been trained to think success is. What gives you value? The watch? The phone? The shoes? No, motherfucker, there’s only one thing that gives you value and that’s you. It’s that simple. You can have value just by saying ‘I have value.’’

The Ron Finley Project

As with all EVERYBODY.WORLD contributors, Ron will receive 10% of the sales of his Freedom Pant and Uprising Hoodie, which are going to his non-profit, The Ron Finley Project, and EVERYBODY.WORLD will be matching his donation. For all other pieces in his collection, 100% of proceeds will be donated to his organization.

Ron is the first Contributor that's a designer by trade, breaking our one rule to only seek non-designers. But Ron is singular—and what we're really seeking by finding everyday extraordinary people to design something missing from their wardrobe is to learn, and there's a wealth of knowledge in Ron Finley.
