Our Story:

In a world where people are afraid of being judged, there are people in communities around us where people are judged by their past instead of their present. Most within our community aren’t blessed with beautiful pasts to continue relying on. Instead they have pasts they are trying to forget.  The heart-wrenching pasts that never allows them to avail job and credit opportunities. At such a stage, where tens of thousands of people never get the chance to make their future bright because of such a barrier, Avant becomes the sight of hope to the millions of people reminding people to try and see others for what they will become rather than who they were. 

Avant is here to represent our community and motivate our youth and people living in disappointment, to rise once again and chase their dreams and to live.

We selected Avant, as the brand name which means “before” in french. Printed on the hoodies is “Avant est fini” which is not grammatically correct in french but it means “before is finished”. It is chosen to remind everyone that the past should never be the reason it stops you from being bright. The dark is temporary. The sun always rises. Rise!

Our Vision:

We shouldn't rely on the past; the past is finished; we need to think about the future. We could motivate young people to be honest, talk about themselves, speak up for their rights, and be brave. We'd use unique methods to reach out to teenagers. We will bring a change with a brand and motivate people to push through that barrier no matter how heavy it is.
