Oh it’s true, there’s an EMBARGO! Anyways, the question I get asked most frequently is, “What does embargo even mean?” I know some people will probably roll their eyes, but I genuinely get asked this on the regular!
“In international commerce and politics, an embargo is the prohibition of commerce (division of trade) and trade with a certain country, in order to isolate it and to put its government into a difficult internal situation, given that the effects of the embargo are often able to make its economy suffer from the initiative.”

So, how does that translate into a name for a clothing company? Well, it doesn’t but it sounds COMMANDING and the word looks sweet on tee. It’s also a very political word and I like to think my shirts have some political significance. I do have my own personal spin on the word and how it fits as an appropriate name but it merely me just being creative. But in all honesty, the word to me holds a certain essence that just makes it RIGHT!
So when are the new designs coming out? I ask myself that same question everyday! Having a 9 to 5 and filled weekends doesn’t leave much time to work but no more excuses! Spring 09′, it’s time to shine…
Peace ya’ll
