Achievement
Imran Ciesay (aka his DJ name “Auxgod”) and Solomon Boyede (“Soulz”) are the two brains behind Places+Faces. The burgeoning platform has grown exponentially from a photography journal with incredible access to a phenomenally successful merch line, hosting a series of events around the world. 2018 saw the duo continue as they meant to go on, continuing its womenswear selection alongside a POLYTHENE* OPTICS collab. The burgeoning brand even created merch for singer Daniel Caesar. While the group didn’t make any huge leaps this year, they continued on their path of creating an instantly recognizable brand that still garners queues wherever it goes.
