Fear No Man Clothing™
 

The best stylists with an eagle eye for fashion, popularly known in showbiz circles as Kulaperry,  CEO of Kulaperryoutlook shares his journey with us in preaching against fear through fashion.


Have a good read !


Code57: There's a lot to be known about a man who preaches fearlessness through Clothing. Do u have any personal experiences with the enemy called FEAR?

Kulaperry: First of all, what is fear? Because if I should say... my personal experience with fear is what has made me who I am. Because I met fear, I was born into it, then I defeated it and I became Kulaperry. Because at the end of the day whatever was fear to me, became my base of elevation.

Code57: Awesome, how have you been able to defeat fear?

Kulaperry: In defeating fear is more or less what you fear, so as a matter of fact I have to watch what I fear. What is at the other side of fear? That was my curiosity, so my curiosity was to know what was at the other side of fear. In doing that, I had to defeat fear wholeheartedly and see the other side. The other side was the birth of “Kulaperry”, the other side was the birth of “FEAR NO MAN” and the other side was the birth of a Young Gifted Black African.

Code57: Fear, being a common enemy has crippled a lot of potentials and still does .... how has the journey been  in preaching the subject of fear through your clothing line ? 

Kulaperry: As a matter of fact, the journey so far in preaching Fear, you know we’re in a third world country where Fear itself has crippled the whole nation. That people cannot self-actualize themselves, people can have aspirations, they can have determinations but they can’t acquire and achieve it. So at the end of the day, “FEAR NO MAN” as a clothing line has been able to penetrate into 67 countries right now. And what I will tell as a matter of fact is, anybody who has ever worn “FEAR NO MAN” believes that there’s something bigger than just being afraid, it’s about you not being afraid and being your actual self. So then, the preaching of “FEAR NO MAN” is where you don’t look at the next man to be the best man. You focus on God Almighty and at the end of the day you have to be the real definition of your creation

Code57:Let's talk about your logo design ...very unique and mysterious please  help us unlock the mysteries behind the Design.

Kulaperry: Right, this article does a perfect job in breaking down everything 


THE MESSAGE WITHIN.

The ”Fear No Man” Line is one of the composites of Kulaperry Clothing. Kulaperry Clothing is however comprised of three lines, which are; ”Fear No Man,” ”Royalty” and ”Loyalty”. Since it was released, news of the clothing line has gone viral as many wonder about it. The ”Fear No Man” clothing line Logo portrays a white symbolism with a red strip across the eyes of the face. There is definitely some level of mystery to this very interesting logo design.


The young entrepreneur explained that, the ”Fear No Man” logo represents the African heritage. The color white was incorporated into the logo as it stands for purity. While, the color black embodies the brand identity. Yes 

The entirety of the logo seeks to highlight the practice of seeing and speaking no evil. ”Fear No Man” is a line that stands as a symbol for people who fear nobody except God. I . The red color for the strip represents the hustle, toil and struggle of Africans endured in achieving their dreams. In deeper context, the position of the red strip across the white face depicts the act of meditation and prayer when one has to actually close their eyes and focus on God. The entirety of the logo seeks to highlight on the practice of seeing and speaking no evil. ”Fear No Man” is a line that stands as a symbol for people who fear nobody except God.


Kulaperry revealed that there are three sub lines under ”Fear No Man”. They however also represent certain core values within the clothing line i.e FEARLESS, MISUNDERSTOOD and KNOW YOURSELF.


i. Fearless which means having no fear for boundaries but always striving for greatness.

ii. Misunderstood means doing great things that are not easily understandable by many ordinary people.

iii. Know Yourself means being original, authentic and not impersonating others.


Kulaperry hints that in 2025 and 2030, he will release the other two sections of his clothing line respectively; ”Royalty” and ”Loyalty”.


Code57:Awesome !  There's always a strong team behind every successful business, tell us about how you approach Teamwork in the establishment of FNM.

Kulaperry: Co-work is a formidable force that helps with production. But in Africa, all the people that have come under me, learnt something, but never ever installed that discipline into the culture. So we had like almost 50 people on our brand “FEAR NO MAN”, now I could say we are just 3 people. And the 3 people, even none of them is here. I just have a personal assistant out here and I have 6 lawyers. Now everything is digitized, and I have to learn everything to be the best. Because, anybody who came in, came in with an intent, so with teamwork I think it’s about me, myself and how I go about my everyday dealings. Instead of me to bring people in, I have to outsource, they put in the best work out for me, then I have to pull it up. But then, for teamwork in Africa with our people who move with so much intentions, they can start it but they can’t end it. That’s the problem.

Code57: I see, does that mean working alone is to be chosen over  teamwork  ? 

Kulaperry⁩ : Work with a defined intent and outsource the best on the job and breakaway for another task. Cos most Africans ain’t loyal.

And they believe in eating and taking the bricks than helping build to live in. Yeah..they believe in eating now and taking the bricks rather than helping to build and live in. Why do you think the whole of Ghana, all the major industries are owned by foreigners? African started slavery not the Europeans. We are weak in believing in ourselves. We showed our weakness and they capitalized on it.

Code57 :What would u say to anyone who has been entangled  by Fear and is a victim for that matter. 

Kulaperry⁩ :First of all being entangled means you’re a puppet. So if you want to be a puppet and you are going to allow that to control your feelings and how you supposed to see life, then that is wrong! Because you have to have hold of yourself, you have to tell this person listen, you’re bigger than what you think, you are somebody not created for mediocrity. You’re in there to win and win it all. So, kindly leave where you are, because it’s not a place for you. Because the place for you does not look like this. The place for you is free spirited, the place for you is where growth is not far fetched.

Code57: What does it take to build a brand like FEAR NO MAN.

Kulaperry⁩: First of all, to build a brand like  “FEAR NO MAN” you’re supposed to have a Purpose, your prime Purpose that you have, should be backed by God Almighty, Persistence, Consistency, Humility at par and you being daring to achieve. If you fail, try again, try again until you get it perfect on the spot. So it’s all about consistency and determination, you should not leave no stone unturned and every minute of your life should make a lot of sense to you.

Code57 : Your Final words 

Kulaperry: My final words are very simple. What we don’t know is humility is a most powerful tool in learning new things that you never ask of. What you should know is God is the supreme, have outmost humility, be humble and don’t act humble, with whatever you believe in, keep on trying. If it fails, you try again in a new way. Don’t do the same thing over and over again. Dynamism is growth, so you've got to have new ways of doing the same thing until you hit on your target. And when you achieve, do not change, when you achieve is when you start the whole thing, when you achieve is when whatever that you ever wanted to do, you start doing it and you do it well. All other things, that was left you add onto it and GOD bless you all, you guys are a wonderful crowd and am so energized 🔥

POPULATION CONTROL: Is it a tool of the rich?

  As the world population reaches seven billion people, the BBC's Mike Gallagher asks whether efforts to control population have been, as some critics claim, a form of authoritarian control over the world's poorest citizens. The temperature is some 30C. The humidity stifling, the noise unbearable. In a yard between two enormous tea-drying sheds, a number of dark-skinned women patiently sit, each accompanied by an unwieldy looking cloth sack. They are clad in colourful saris, but look tired and shabby. This is hardly surprising - they have spent most of the day in nearby plantation fields, picking tea that will net them around two cents a kilo - barely enough to feed their large families. Vivek Baid thinks he knows how to help them. He runs the Mission for Population Control, a project in eastern India which aims to bring down high birth rates by encouraging local women to get sterilised after their second child. As the world reaches an estimated seven billion people, people lik...

LITTLE THINGS THAT MATTER

  -By Silent Beads Before I started writing this story, I counted the number of rules we’ve set for ourselves since we got married. Hundred? Two hundred? Maybe more. I don’t remember. We didn’t write them down so it’s hard to remember. The truth is, if we wrote them down, we would have needed a hundred yards of paper to be able to write everything down. Each day comes with different issues and each issue demands a new rule. The funny thing is, we don’t remember the existence of most of the rules until someone breaks them. This is how the first rule came about…I was at the kitchen cooking when my husband joined. I had fresh fish, salted fish, and mÉ”mÉ”ne on display. He tried to help with the cooking. A few seconds later, the scent in the kitchen changed. The scent started innocuously and got deadly by the second. I thought the scent was coming from the salted fish or the mÉ”mÉ”ne. I smelt all of them and they were good. Not knowing my husband had farted. The smell was so bad it stayed ...
