Mosiah Clothing Company - Dem a go hard!

The Mosiah Clothing Company has been around since 1997 providing Jamaicans and Jamaican fans alike with urban, cultural clothing in earth tone colours and top-notch designs. They’re primarily a jean company coming from a different place than the usual Bob Marley-esque designs that have become synonymous with Jamaican cultural designer lines. They have done Caribbean Fashion Week a couple of times and have been seen on many of our Jamaican celebrities such as Spragga Benz, Busy Signal, Baby Cham and Richie Spice and have graced the backs of international stars like Talib Kwali, Scott Storch, Lil’ Kim and Akon.

I recently sat down with the man behind the Jamaican leg of the Mosiah brand to find out what’s the latest. His name is Richard Pearson and he and his brother Marvin carry the Mosiah Jamaica flag. Here’s what Richard (pictured above) had to say:

Why the name Mosiah? The line was started by Aidan Jones and he is a big admirer of Marcus Garvey and his movement so he decided to pay tribute to him by naming his own movement "Mosiah’
What exactly can I find in the Mosiah line? Mosiah is a full line offering blazers, jeans (skirts, pants, shorts), tank tops, t-shirts just to name a few
What sets apart Mosiah as a Jamaican urban brand? we don’t just print things on t-shirts, we take our time and carefully design our pieces and our quality is superb
Do you customize pieces? Not really but we are looking into that, we recently did a piece for Akon

Where can I get my hands on Mosiah? In the US you can get Mosiah @ 799 Rogers Ave, Brooklyn New York. In Jamaica you’ll soon be able to get Mosiah in all major stores.
What was the response like from doing Caribbean Fashion Week? Our first fashion week was good, but as it relates to the last one, personally I think we were cheated. Being the first line displayed on the first day did not sit well with me as you are the "Guinea Pig" and it leaves you open for any mistakes the production team may have, like the lights going out in the middle of our set, the wrong music being played and it being a Friday no one was really there. But respect to pulse still
The after-party held for fashion week was hot! Any more parties soon? Remember we’re not just a clothing line, this is a movement, so the party was the launch of our clothing line, and our first party for Mosiah Ent. Look for more blazing hot parties coming from Mosiah Ent…
What is the latest with Mosiah? We have just placed the final artist on our first riddim (Mosiah Muzik) and is set for released early late this year early next year. We’re also looking forward to having the line placed in some of the major department stores here in Jamaica.

I am a huge fan of the colours of the line and the way they mix the urban with the cultural feel. From hot blazers to cute skirts and high waists (which you know I love) Mosiah is blazing a hot trail as a clothing line and promises to keep it burning. Check out their line from CFW 07 in the FOS Galleries and stay tuned for Mosiah ENT updates. Richard can be contacted at richard_pearson07@yahoo.com for any Mosiah enquiries.
