There is a pair of blind brothers
In the financial sector has done very well
But switched to fashion designer
Even the color can not see, just want to circle a touching dream......
They have come up with a short cut, why pick the most difficult way?
New York has two brothers founded his own clothing brand, but also became a popular American talk show "the Alan show" guest of honor. After the popular, the face of the book on the video has more than 50 thousand hits, but also received a large number of orders.
There are several schools in the United States that use their clothes for school uniforms because they are cheap and the fabric is too comfortable.
From the photos, you will feel that the two men smile very sunny, full of confidence.
But in fact, they were 6 years old have been diagnosed with visual impairment, childhood spent in blind. Today, with the help of special glasses, can vaguely see the color and shape.
With the love of fashion design, they also founded their own brand Two Blind Brothers.
Before becoming a fashion designer, 31 year old big brother is a partner in an investment company, and Blaine, a brother of the age of 27 is a representative of data sales company.
Two people graduated from the prestigious Financial professional. It can be said that even in the heap, they are also very good.
Just last year, the two brothers changed to become a fashion designer, just because of an interesting lost.
"Blaine and I were shopping in the mall, but it was lost on the way. 30 minutes later, we met each other in the same shirt. It was found that the original cloth also has a sense of identification, especially when poor eyesight. Bradford said.
"Although we can not see, but the sense of touch is great. "They want to tell the public that there are advantages to blind people in fashion design.
The first one touched 10 thousand pieces of cloth
To do so, the two brothers set up their own brand "Two Blind Brothers", and opened a separate studio in New York designer street.
At first it was just a sideline, and the first T-shirt took 6 months. As the first piece of work, the two poured a lot of effort, together up a total of at least ten thousand pieces of fabric.
After selecting the material, they will confirm the version with a factory in New York. When the sample clothes out, they will try to check the comfort of the first time, but also ask friends advice.
Even a T shirt sleeve do 1/4 inches long, can over six months, shows the extent of its intentions. "If we don't get the result, we'll win the game. "
"Two Blind Brothers" clothes
"Our greatest advantage is the use of comfortable fabrics, the pursuit of texture. They are soft material as a selling point, for visually impaired people as well as ordinary people, such as the sale of T-shirts and basic clothing products.
Each piece of clothing, the brothers to test at least 100 samples, is to make the world's most soft and comfortable clothes.
Just short of manpower, the design cycle is very long. But after 9 months, they were invited to the Alan show, won $30 thousand angel investment.
Then hired 3 employees, dedicated to brand operation.
After the broadcast, but also received a large number of orders. Then in addition to selling men's T-shirts, they also began to get involved in women's clothing, accessories and other fields. The most expensive product is a long sleeved T-shirt, priced at $125.
The Braille element is a major highlight of the Two Blind Brothers product design. "We use a lot of Braille in the brand, because it symbolizes the way I grew up with Blaine," said Bradford.
They put their so-called "shortcomings" into a unique power, from their own conditions of the limitations of their own to create new value, people happy at the same time, but also happy for them.
To cure blindness by selling clothes
Why can get the famous American talk show "Alan show" favor?
At the beginning of the video, Alan said, "it doesn't make them depressed, but makes them more willing to help people in need. "The tough temperament of the brothers moved a lot of people.
They laughed a lot at the start. When Alan asked, "can you tell me what happened to your eyes? "Blaine didn't cover up, he said," Happily ".
And the relationship between the two brothers. "To be honest, we have a tacit understanding. But blindness is the reason why we come together. "
Their dreams are great, and they are already in action.
"There are a lot of smart people in the world who need financial support, and all I can do is provide money for the blind to be cured. "
Two Blind Brothers official website specifically stated, the brothers do not have any compensation, as well as the company's profit will be donated to 100% of the treatment of visual impairment foundation. "
"I'm a lucky dog"
Originally into the costume design circle, for ordinary people is not an easy task, for the two brothers is impossible to speak of.
Usually go out with a magnifying glass, even acquaintances have to chat a few words to recognize.
So just to family, friends, frankly, when the design dream, they have been questioned, we want to help the blind through the design of clothing, clothes to sell money to cure blindness. "
But constantly being discouraged, you almost can not dress themselves". Parents can not understand is why the brothers to give up the cause of stability.
In this case, who is to do, can not believe that the brothers can serve as fashion designers. A person who can't even see his eyes, how can he design good clothes?
"Although the eye is blind, it doesn't mean that you can't do what you want to do. "Blaine said with certainty.
When asked, "as a disabled person, what are the difficulties," their answer is very surprising.
"I'm a lucky man, my brother has been guiding me to fight blindness. A lot of people feel that they are only special, and we encourage each other, feel that they are normal. "
Instead of complaining about injustice, they focus on their careers, and use their own income for the treatment of blind people.
I can't feel the world of the blind, but I admire them.
