Joshua Kissi shared thisPhotography and Visuals for “Love is the New Gangsta” for artist 6LACK upcoming album. Love is the new gangsta isn’t just a title. It’s a life. The choices you make, what you build, what you leave behind for your kids to look back on. Honored to be the one trusted to visualize that. Thank you for having me. ———————— Photo & Direction : @joshuakissi Creative Direction : @sageaflocka GD: @virgiliotzaj Director of Photography : @blakegmyers Styling: @marquisemiller Graphic Design : @spit_bite @conner.mccormick Color: @kbaycolor Production design : @winstonstudios @carlosanthonylopez @imanjordanmusic Digi tech : @willazcona 1st Assistant : Mike Lopez 2nd Assistant : Jaison Cabebe Production : @mecca.studios Executive Producer : @davidwept 1st AD : @izzymenow Producer : @basil.ct Thank you to @lvrn @justicewearscoolpants @seanfamoso @junia.abaidoo Head of creative @carlonramong LVRN

Joshua Kissi shared thisGAP for HFR : photography by me. The real challenge? Finding the right blue 🫠💙 The blue that holds emotion without overpowering it. The blue that feels like history and future at the same time. Once we found it, everything else started to speak. Thankful for every hand that shaped this one. 💙

Joshua Kissi reposted thisGAP for HFR : a celebration of denim, imagination, and five immaculate designers. The color blue holds so much feeling… history, possibility, mood. We built a denim box to step inside their process and each moment a glimpse into how they see the world. 🌎 Denim is the people’s fabric. Denim is art. Denim is love. Denim is for everyone ✨👖 Thankful to every single hand and mind that contributed to this campaign.

Joshua Kissi reposted thisAt the end of the year I try to slow down and ask better questions. Not about output. Not about wins. Not about a flex. Just about what the work was doing to me while I was creating it. I turned that into 10 questions. Sharing in case it helps you in anyway. 🤎🙏🏿

Joshua Kissi shared thisCreating with my family is something I’ll never take lightly. Can’t wait to revisit this years from now 🤎🫂Joshua Kissi shared thisWritten, directed by and starring Joshua Kissi and the beautiful Kissi fam. CAST - Joshua, Mekdes Kissi and Ezra + Hosanna Kissi Josh writes… “My dad used to say, ‘You’re a family of two before anything else’. That always stuck with me. The memories, the rhythm, the values; and they begin before the kids, before the noise. Mekdes and I always held onto that idea of curiosity and discovery as our compass. ‘Where We Grow’ came from that, not a polished version of our lives, just a present one.” “Where We Grow” by Lincoln Director: Joshua Kissi Managing Directors: Kamila Prokop & David Richards Founders: Patrick Milling-Smith & Brian Carmody COO: Andrew Colón Producer: Gillian Altman Line Producer: Manny Caston Production Manager: Darby Wesel DOP: Spencer Mann 1st AD: Julia Zsolnay 2nd AD: John Cano Production Designer: Alessandro Marvelli 1st AC: Castor Gil 2nd AC: Elizabeth Coggins Chief Lighting Technician: Kazmo Kida Asst Chief Lighting Technician: Adam LoNigro Hyphenate: Richard Arana Key Grip: Leo Ibanez 2nd Grip: Britten Fay 3rd Grip: Juan Reyes Hyphenate: Hydouk Honarchian Prop Master: Noah Castro Sound Mixer: Tommy Cella Transportation Captain: Darren Goldberg Van Driver: Dustin Meisner Welfare Teacher: Sam Kline PA: Phil Swaidon, Phyl Moore, Jordyn Williams, Cameron Raser, Hayden Bradley, Tyler Hou, & Vanessa Berceo Edit Co: CARTEL Editing & Post-Production MD: Lauren Bleiweiss EP: Viet-An Nguyen Editor: Michael 'Middy' Ofori-Attah Producer: Erin Bates Color: Fairchild Colorist: Cameron Marygold Producer: Brayden Deskins Music Supervision & Sound Design: Jolin Ras Group Mix EP: Katie Cire Finishing/Online: TRANSFORMER VFX & Post Production Finishing Artist: Ted Stanley Finishing Producer: Chrissy Bruzek

One for the books! Analyized the best music releases of the year with Ebro, LowKey, Eddie, Nick, and special guests Wale, and Clipse. Much appreciation to the entire Apple Music team and everyone who joined us.

Joshua Kissi liked thisJoshua Kissi liked thisSteph Curry debuting Kyrie Irving's ANTA Group sneaker last night is a dope strategic play. While Kyrie can’t wear the shoe himself this season (due to injury), Steph bridges the gap and keeps the momentum going. Smart, relationship-led marketing that doesn't feel like marketing.

I’ve stepped into a newly created role leading Brand Marketing Strategy & Special Projects for Men’s Polo, Purple Label, Double RL and Kids for Wholesale, Outlet, and Ralph Lauren Stores in North America. These past seven months managing Men’s Polo Wholesale marketing laid the groundwork. Excited that the scope now expands. Grateful to the Marketing Leadership Team for the trust. Time to execute, after all, it’s all the consumer sees.

Handbag Designer 101 Podcast • 10K followers
On this week's episode of Handbag Designer 101 Podcast, we meet Rafael de la Vega, who used a single on-field embarrassment to become the spark for Salt Athletic. Rafael de la Vega’s patented cleat bag is designed for the athlete who uses it and the parent who buys it. In this episode, Rafael shares how early missteps with PR, broad targeting, and hype burned cash, and how a hard pivot—economics first, accelerator support, and factory access in Mexico and India—turned the company around. A near-dead runway led to a bold performance-ad strategy that paid for itself, and a key insight reshaped everything: the user is the player, but the buyer is the parent.

The secondhand market for fashion in the United States is booming, as 93 percent of consumers have purchased a secondhand item over the past year, according to the 2025 Recommerce Report by OfferUp in partnership with GlobalData, and Gen Z is reportedly at the forefront of this growth. Secondhand shopping has reached mainstream acceptance, with 70 percent of Americans reporting diminished negative perceptions over the past year. The resale market continues expanding, with 19 percent of consumers making their first-ever used purchase last year. Part of a broader growth within the 200 billion recommerce economy, secondhand fashion currently only accounts for 25 percent of the multicategory market.

Guerrilla marketing works best when it feels intentional — not intrusive. For this activation at Ponce, we partnered with Anwuli Eyewear to execute a guerrilla marketing moment designed to integrate seamlessly into a high-traffic environment. From planning and product placement to on-the-ground execution and real-time decision-making, this activation required clarity, adaptability, and a deep understanding of how people move through space. I’m sharing the behind-the-scenes planning — including the steps and considerations — inside Patreon for those interested in applying guerrilla marketing strategies to their own brands.
