Becoming iconic requires divine approval.
‘Ghetto until proven fashionable’ illuminates the unconventional and panoramic vision of April Walker. The human brain is life’s most advanced, researched, potent, and fascinating component. Brainwaves are electrical impulses that fire off in the brain.
These impulses are identified as brainwaves. There are different types of brainwaves, each associated with varying states of consciousness. Theta brainwaves are essential for creating and storing memories, dreaming, and creativity.
April Walker’s brainpower is unsurpassed in the world of design, fashion, and cultural empowerment. Natural-born visionaries experience a significant flashpoint in life, which creates a life-changing lifestyle shift. In 1984, April attended ‘Fresh Fest,’ and her creative flame was forever lit. Fresh Fest, established in 1984, was a highly successful Hip-Hop tour that featured a lineup of Run-DMC, Kurtis Blow, Newcleus, The Fat Boys, and Whodini. Representatives reported that the tour grossed over $3.5 million in sales for only 27 dates.
Inspiration is an undeniable emotion that comes alive in unpredictable moments. April’s beautiful mind saw a different visual experience from other people in attendance. April’s eyes caught a clear and open lane of opportunity in the world of urban fashion. Without hesitation, April opened ‘Fashion In Effect’ from her home, and the dream converted into reality. April’s at-home business became an instant success, and within a year, she opened a brick-and-mortar shop on Greene Avenue in Brooklyn, New York.
The popularity and sales demand of ‘Fashion In Effect’ gave birth to Walker Wear in the early 90s. Hip-Hop is the most influential music genre ever invented. Iconic entertainment public figures such as Tupac Shakur, Notorious B.I.G, Jay-Z, Wu-Tang, Hype Williams, Aaliyah, and more have adorned the brand of Walker Wear. April’s unrivaled design patterns, color schemes, and brand material represent black fashion’s extravagance and mass appeal.
Walker Wear is the brainchild of April Walker and has converted into a multimillion-dollar global retail giant. April wears multiple hats of empowerment in 2023, which includes being an author, professor (TISCH/NYU adjunct professor), fashion designer, philanthropist, and cultural icon. April’s theta brainwaves are moving faster than ever in 2023. She’s opening doors of opportunity for black and brown people and planting legacy seeds that will bloom for generations to come.
