Josh Coker - The Christian Designer finally ready to take the leap of faith

For this episode we were joined by Mr Mysterious, Josh Coker, Founder of streetwear brand SWAMP. Josh prefers to be behind the scenes in favour of letting his designs do the talking, but thank God he made an exception for us because this episode has keys for dayssssss.Josh is a Christian who tells uplifting biblical inspired stories through his arguably gothic presenting brand SWAMP. Sound like a bit of a juxtaposition right? It is when you take the brand off of face value, but after listening to this episode you'll definitely understand more about the brand and I'm sure you'll be endeared to it too! The brand name stands for Society Will Always Manipulate People, Josh shares why the brand has such a strong message and how this translates through his designs. Unlike many, a love for fashion wasn't Josh's reason for starting a brand, it was in fact his desire to tell stories with streetwear just being the medium he chose to do this. Josh even considers himself an author rather than a designer, so I'm sure we'll see him telling narratives in different ways in the future. Josh's interesting and often quite dark designs are inspired by things he's battled with in his life such as the fear of failure. Throughout the conversation Josh takes us through his whole journey so far and what has led him to the point of being ready to his currently successful brand to the greater heights he KNOWS it is destined to reach. He candidly shares the mistakes his made, the opportunities he's passed up on and most importantly what he has learned on his journey so far. Since recording Josh has continued to drop meaningful pieces and push the limits of design! His latest collection is dropping on the 26th of February! Follow Josh's Instagram to keep up to date with his personal growth alongside the growth of SWAMP. Josh has said that he's about to turn things up so let's keep an eye on him!👀
