Getting to know Mr. Crawford....

Check out his insights...it may re-arrange your thought process......




Todd L. Perry II:

Well Sir....Introduce yourself to the people:

Andrew Crawford:

I go by the name of Andrew Crawford. Many know me as "Drew", but I think it's time to let the world know exactly who I am.

TP:

Ok...Drew the streets are ready....let em know:

Loading...

AC:

As the streets know, before I began dressing to impress, I had what many call "hoop dreams." Basketball was my passion since I was three years old, and I was fortunate enough to play for many different city squads [Sonny Hill, Bishiop McDevitt High School, & LaSalle University]. The game of basketball allowed me to express myself on the court, but off the court, fashionable streetwear was another form of expression that I began to favor. To make a long story short, I became one of the city's flyest. My oldheads took notice, and so my fashion taste combined with loyalty that traced back to my younger days was how I began working at Afficial.

TP:

Thats wassup, so tell us a lil bit about Afficial:

AC:

I'm proud to say that the store has been up and runnning for about 3 years now, supplying exclusive kicks and clothes for people all across the map. We just recently remodeled the store this past summer giving it the look of a public pool, and the people say that they love it! So we are looking forward to the future. Come check us out! (608 South 5th Street - Philadelphia PA)

TP:

Yea, the store does a lot for the scene in philly. Everyone always asks me(Todd) "What exactly does Drew do in CHIT?" You know people love to dickeat...can you explain to them please:

AC:

Haha, well marketing is my shit. And I immediately noticed the potential of CHIT from a marketing standpoint, which is why I'm glad to say that I am the Philadelphia Street Team Manager/ Marketing Executive. I (Andrew Crawford) am the look of CHIT, and by the belief and marketing ability that I have, others recgonize that CHIT has the streets on smash! They know wassup...

TP:

I know thats right., do you have any personal projects/store projects that you are working on:

AC:

Personally there's nothing that I'm working on, but on behalf of Afficial, I'm letting the people know that major moves are in the works for January '08...stay tuned!

TP:

Damn...I thought you was gon' reveal some low key shit lol, outside of bbc/ice cream what other brands are "afficial" (pun intended) :

AC:

I'm really feeling Bottega Veneta, I kill it with the stunna shades! I also get down with Orisue, which is a brand that only few are on right now. (Sold in Afficial by the way) Everybody knows that Louie and Gucci shit is heat...Lemar & Dauley, Diamond, the hommie Marc Jacobs, they are all doing their thing. I wouldn't mind any of them sending me a box of their shit!!!!!

AC:

Oh yeah, me and my hommies are wating to get our hands on that Pastelle shit too...

TP:

TP:
