WEAR YOUR STORY, LIVE IN YOUR TRUTH 

"SHEEPBLACK was created to bring that concept of personalization and connection back to what we choose to wear. Mirroring Life, Art and Fashion together is the goal of SHEEPBLACK. Each design, is created to be a badge of honor that will touch your soul and you will exclaim, "YES " I can relate to that or "YES" I personally went through that but I overcame and persevered. Now your wardrobe becomes more than fabric, it becomes your own personal testimonial and conversation piece to others.  Thus creating our tagline"WEAR YOUR STORY"
Our mission is simply to give people confidence to feel good about themselves and have the opportunity to wear something that defines your life's story.
SHEEPBLACK is a staple that exclaims being Different is okay! Being known as the Black Sheep or being ostracized is only temporary. You have the ability to change your mindset and change your circumstances. Thus switching it up literally. Instead of the negative stereotypically stigma of a Black Sheep, you are now a Game Changer of Royal status and the Sole Commander of YOU. You are now officially a part of the SHEEPBLACK CREW. As a part of the CREW, you have the ability to allow your external to match your internal. Instead of masking ourselves internal with external wear to achieve the gratification of others. SHEEPBLACK gives you the unique opportunity to please only you! 

WOMAN BEHIND THE BRAND

CHERRISSE "RES" COLVIN
FOUNDER & HEAD DESIGNER OF SHEEPBLACK DESIGNS, LLC. 

Res Colvin, native of BIRMINGHAM, AL , created SHEEPBLACK as a creative outlet to express her own life story through ART. "I grew up in the West End district of Birmingham. I attended Wenonah High School, Class of 1999. After high school, I briefly attended The Art Institute of Atlanta, majoring in Graphic Design." 
"During my childhood I faced many obstacles and experienced many circumstances that had a major impact on me personally. This included but was not limited to low self-esteem, identity issues and battles with depression. I learned I had the gift of "ART" at a very early age. My earliest childhood memories are looking through my father's collection of albums, drawing cover art. I was always intrigued by African American history and Art. My favorite Art era would have to be the Harlem Renaissance period and my favorite Artists were Romare Bearden, Jacob Lawerence and Horace Pippin. 
According to Res Colvin, " SHEEPBLACK is a representation of my story. Being labeled as a Black Sheep, for so many reasons, I chose to turn that stigma around. Thus, creating SHEEPBLACK in the process. It's a visual reminder that I define my worth. My peace belongs to me. It basically reminds me that I control the true essence of ME. 
SHEEPBLACK is not just an apparel label, it's my own personal fashion statement. "
Res Colvin also hopes to use this platform to feature local artists. "Birmingham is full of talented individuals that just need a start to excel and if I could provide that opportunity - I WILL! "
