FUBU and Its New Window at Macy's
story by Mandela Jackson photos by Jamal Severin Khalid Muhammed

 

 

What Was It Like?

When I saw the FUBU window, I didn't think it was all that great, but anyone who can get their own window in the world's largest department store (Macy's) has to be given some sort of recognition . Otherwise the showcase is real nice. I recommend that you see it for yourself and decide.

What Was Said ?

Mandela : Do you think that FUBU (For Us By Us ) as a company will ever pursue business outside of the fashion industry?

Team FUBU: "Right now our main goal is to make clothing .We don't know if we will ever take that up, but it is definitely a possibility."

Mandela: Most of the time when I go to a clothing store, my Mom says she will buy it for me , but when she see's the price , she does not want to buy it because it's so expensive . Please try to make your clothing a little more inexpensive.

Team FUBU : "Your mother is definitely right, but we can't change our material because we want to give our customers the best . Our clothes are priced by the material used to make them, plus our prices are already 10 percent lower than other clothing companies ."

Background Information
