<\/h3>\n

Sean L. Banks,\u00a0Corrosiv Material Clothing<\/a>, I’m the owner\/designer of the brand.<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

What kind of products does \u00a0Corrosiv Material Clothing\u00a0specialize in?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cut n’ sew streetwear! Corrosiv Material Clothing is\u00a0a bout to come out with tees and one style
\nof denim to start but will move more to a complete line in the coming
\nseasons.<\/p>\n

How did you get into this business?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I did an internship for a menswear brand Michael Wesetly Clothing.<\/p>\n

When you were a little kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Either a BMX Freestyle Pro or in the NBA.<\/p>\n

As a clothing brand where does Corrosiv Material Clothing\u00a0\u00a0get it’s inspiration for designs?
\nWhat kind of thought process goes into Corrosiv Material Clothing?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Everywhere, living in the NYC area you see all types of style to draw
\ninspiration from. I usually get my notes together on a board, pick out
\nthe best ideas, choose fabrics, sampling and then production.<\/p>\n

How do you fell about “Brand Jacking” where a brand mimics the
\ndesigns of another brand?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It just depends, some of it’s clever but it has seemed to overrun the
\nindustry.<\/p>\n

\"Corrosiv<\/a><\/p>\n

How did you come up with the name Corrosiv Material Clothing? What does it mean
\nor stand for?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Corrosiv was actually the name I gave to a pair of destroyed jeans I
\nwas designing and thought we should design a brand around the name.
\nThe meaning of the name is, Corrosiv: The ability to kill or destroy.
\nMaterial: Anything made of matter. Corrosiv Material Clothing<\/strong><\/em><\/span>: Killer
\nstreetwear.<\/p>\n

With the explosion of social media, what does Corrosiv Material Clothing\u00a0do to build
\nbrand exposure? What social network is most important to\u00a0Corrosiv Material Clothing?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I would have to say Instagram is the most important for Corrosiv Material Clothing. It allows you to
\nget your info or newest products in front of a global audience as they
\nare released.<\/p>\n

What is one style from the past that you wish was still popular?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Corduroy garments, we all had them heavy as kids. I know I did.<\/p>\n

What is a current trend that you cannot stand?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The cartoon hands…. So sick of them!<\/p>\n

Snapback or Fitted? Why?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fitted, it’s more personal.<\/p>\n

Low tops or High Tops? Why?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have both it just depends on what i’m wearing.<\/p>\n

\"Corrosiv<\/a><\/p>\n

What are Corrosiv Material Clothing\u00a0thoughts on todays street wear scene?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s cool, I like the fact that so many people are trying to live out
\ntheir dreams. It also keeps all of us on our toes which will push the
\nprogression of the industry.<\/p>\n

What does Corrosiv Material Clothing see\u00a0for the future of this industry?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Continued growth, It’s taking over. Now you see designer brands like
\nGivenchy dipping their toe in the streetwear pool. That’s flattering
\nif you ask me.<\/p>\n

What is one of the best things about being in this industry?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Enjoying what I do. There is nothing worse than waking up and dread
\ngoing to a job you hate.<\/p>\n

\"Corrosiv<\/a><\/p>\n

What is one of the worst things about this industry?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Minimum order quantities! lol<\/p>\n

How would you quickly describe your past 5 years in one short
\nsentence.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A lot of late nights and hard work!<\/p>\n

How long is your average work day?<\/strong><\/p>\n

8 hours<\/p>\n

How many core members\/employees are on Corrosiv Material Clothing?<\/strong><\/p>\n

3<\/p>\n

What sneakers did you rock as a kid?<\/strong><\/p>\n

This question made me smile. If I had to name the top 5 I wore (not
\nin any order) it would be; Suede Pumas, Shell toes, Dunks, Chucks, and
\nVans.<\/p>\n

What brand names were you rocking back in the day?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My style was all over the map between prep and skatewear. I would
\nwear Vans, Vision Street Wear, Benetton, Gap and Ralph Lauren.<\/p>\n

In your opinion, what other brands (except Corrosiv Material)\u00a0are on the come-up in this
\nindustry?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I like Above Avrge Classick<\/a><\/span> tees.<\/p>\n

If you had to give up Corrosiv Material\u00a0today and go work for a fast food
\njoint, which fast food joint would it be?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Applebee’s, I know it’s not exactly a fast food joint but that’s
\nwhere I’d work.<\/p>\n

What was your first job?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Activities Assistant for a Veteran’s Home.<\/p>\n

What will see coming from Corrosiv Material Clothing<\/a>\u00a0in the future?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Corrosiv Material will have more cut n sew. I have a strong background in this area and we feel
\nit is the next progression of the streetwear industry.<\/p>\n

I’m bringing back the cords!<\/p>\n
