- About Me ...
- Coskel University is a clothing company based out of Brooklyn New York, being recognized as an "ambassador of the true Caribbean culture" in the US, and considered as more than just a fashion label. Founded by a team of Trinidadian designer Xolani Heylon and Japanese artist Machiyo Kodaira in 2005, the brand has shown collections inspired by cultural heritage of the twin isle republic of Trinidad and Tobago, specially inspired by Calypso music and Soca music, Steelpan, Trinidad Carnival, or even unique species of plants, birds and animals from the islands.
For many Caribbean descendants and Caribbean music fans in New York City, Coskel University is beyond a fashion label; it's become a cultural icon that fulfills a missing link between an emerging new generation traditional culture. Coskel University represents that the Caribbean that is more than just "Bob Marley and beach resorts". Excluding stereotypical imagery of the Caribbean, and instead focuses on the richness of Trinidadian/Caribbean culture.
The popularity of the brand has spread rapidly, throughout the world, regardless of the cultural or racial differences, the brand's strong and positive message has already gotten to fashionable crowds in major cities of the world; such as Miami, Toronto, Port of Spain Trinidad, London, Tokyo, Osaka, Yokohama, or Sapporo in Japan.
Coskel University have been featured in articles in national newspapers such as Trinidad Guardian, major culture/fashion magazines like Caribbean Beat, Crème Magazine, Luire (Japanese) and Street Jack (Japanese), and a documentary film broadcast by Gayelle TV network.
Coskel University's "wearable art" pieces have been favorite of many Caribbean celebrities such as; Mighty Sparrow, David Rudder, Black Stalin, Calypso Rose, Scrunter, Mighty Shadow, Lord Nelson, Dane Gulston, Shawn Noel(Da Ma$tamind), Liam Teague, Hemo & Moofire, Rihanna, Kevin Lyttle, Maximus Dan, Shurwayne Winchester, Kevon Carter, Trinity, Bomani and more.
