A Fresh Start For Inland Fashion

(SAN BERNARDINO, Calif.) The Inland Empire has become a Mecca for the fashion industry. Local residents shop at specialty boutiques, attend fashion shows or begin careers as fashion designers. Paul Martinez, a San Bernardino resident, plans to be a leader in this movement with the launch of his clothing brand, Fresh Clinic, early next year.

Martinez has been obsessed with fashion since his first day of college at UC Riverside. “I remember thinking that if I wanted to make myself presentable to employers in the fashion industry, then I better start taking my clothes more serious,” said Martinez.

As a new college graduate, Martinez struggled to find a job and fashion internships were competitive. Financial setbacks and the economy made Martinez a fashion entrepreneur. Fresh Clinic started as a blog for Martinez to express his love for fashion, but because of the weak job market it’s now become a business. Fresh Clinic combines urban and upscale clothing for a unique take on modern fashion.

Martinez embraces what his home, the Inland Empire, can bring to the table. “I believe it is important to buy from local designers, hire local models and work with local professionals. The only way the Inland Empire will be competitive in this industry is if we work together and bridge the gap with professionals in Los Angeles,” said Martinez.

Martinez works with local graphic designer Luke Vicious (http://lukevicious.com/), of Rialto, to design a collection of shirts. “I have been following Luke for a few years as a fan of his art, but now it’s cool we are working together,” said Martinez. Vicious has made his impression on the fashion industry for the past few years, and designs for Los Angeles brands StampdLA, TISA and JoyRich.

As a young veteran in the fashion industry, Vicious is confident in Martinez’s future success. “Paul is a great client to work with, being that his ideas have meaning behind them. It motivates me to do my best, and I see his graphics as works of art that tell a story. These original concepts will always stand out because they can’t be bought on a site or duplicated. This makes Fresh Clinic a rare, valuable brand because it keeps fashion traditions alive,” said Vicious.

Martinez also works with Amanda Pelaez (http://www.amandasilvia.com/), a graphic designer and graduate of Cal State San Bernardino. “I like Amanda’s work because she is able to design the ideas I give her without needing much direction. She is definitely a self starter who does not waste time,” said Martinez.

Pelaez is excited about her work with Fresh Clinic. “Working with Paul has always been gratifying. He knows what he wants, and he tells you clearly & concisely. I look forward to the future of Fresh Clinic,” said Pelaez.

Martinez is hopeful for the future. He now has a job and is managing his own business. “I learned to create opportunities for myself, instead of waiting for them to come my way. I encourage everyone, especially the youth in our communities, to do the same.”

Fresh Clinic’s goal for the community is to provide free fashion shows, fashion events and scholarships to Inland Empire residents. “I want to give our people something to look forward to, to bring hope back into their lives. We all have a long road ahead, but the most important message is to never give up. I’m happy to say my team has no room for quitters.”

Kid Frost: The O.G. Chicano

Posted on June 25, 2013 by freshcliniclife

If you’ve ever visited San Bernardino, California, then you know it’s not a pretty site. I should know, I was raised there. However, once in a while a glimmer of light passes through the city that brings hope. I met hope at The National Orange Show a few weeks ago, and he was a bad-ass Chicano named Frost.

The Man:

If you’re not familiar with Kid Frost, he was the first rapper to bust open the doors for Mexican Rap Artists in the United States. He is the undeniable Godfather of the modern “Chicano Rap” genre, and he doesn’t take shit from anyone.

Frost made his first big impression on the rap game with his song “La Raza” in the early nineties, spawning a string of hits that includes “La Familia,” “Ain’t No Sunshine,” and my personal favorite “East Side Rendezvous.” Listening to these songs, I am reminded of how great Chicano rap once was, and where it could go if today’s Chicano rap artists could spit like Frost.

The Encounter:

As me and my family were looking for the best fried, greasy Orange Show Festival food to eat, a booth caught the eyes of my father. Dad noticed a black sports team shirt that read “Los Angeles,” the Clippers name below being replaced with “Chicano.”

At first I felt a little uncomfortable at the booth. A white dude with blonde hair tapped me on my shoulder, and as I turned around he asked “Can I help you?” I thought he was some random guy that was tripping out on speed. He was skinny and seemed out of place in a predominately Latino crowd. He turned out to be one of Frost’s employees.

My dad wanted to know if the LA Chicano shirt came in a Lakers style. An older gentleman chillin’ in the back of the tent started to answer my dad’s questions. He was a humble, calm man, but the chains around his neck spoke of a different character.

I couldn’t quite place where I had remembered him from. Was he a family member? Maybe one of my father’s forgotten friends? I started to piece this riddle together: older, gold chains, looks Mexican, hardcore look in his face, tattoos…he’s got to be a rapper. It all clicked when I remembered seeing some photos of music producer Scoop Deville and his father Kid Frost. I was standing in front of a Legend!

I stepped back and noticed the giant “Meet Kid Frost” sign at the booth. Kid Frost CDs were sprawled on the table. What I found interesting about Frost was his non-pushy personality. Not once did he pressure us to buy his music or clothing. I guess he figured if you were really there for him and respected his talent, you would buy it regardless.

I didn’t say anything to him or act like a groupie. I hate groupies. I walked away with my father. A few minutes later I told my dad who he was, and he insisted that we go back to Frost’s booth to introduce ourselves.

After my dad said his hellos, all I told Frost was “I like your son too, he’s a good producer,” to which he responded “He was here earlier, he just left.” I thought “Damn I came so close to meeting one of the rap games hottest producers, but I’m happy I met the man who made him.”

Frost’s Ropa Clothing Line can be found here: http://www.ogkidfrost.com/Frost/ROPA.html. Sadly Frost does not have the Los Angeles Chicano shirts on his website. I knew I should have bought one at the fair!

I’ll leave you with a cool video and quote from Frost:
