We had the good fortune of connecting with Christian Atkinson and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Christian, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
I was tired of going into stores and my size just never being there, Or the fit was just not right. I decided I can just make my own to fit perfect, I had some of my friends say the same as me. Then I’m like I do love fashion so why not go learn how to sew so I can have my fashion line. Plus I started out with hoody’s and joggers and tees, all custom all dope and fresh.

My brand is affordable wear,  for anyone wanting to feel glamorous, Unique and confident but don’t always have the Coinz  then Carr is here to make that dream a reality.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Sewing keeps me busy lol, I sew everyday if not for a client or myself just to improve my skills never hurts to learn new things. But I’ve made masks which I’ve made since I started out designing it’s crazy that this is the trend now. But since COVID I do limit myself to certain things I have gone on two celebrity yatch events which I decorated of course it was safe mask on all night lol. But just sewing and creating new things honestly keep me busy. Plus Rona has kept me from making the regular Coinz.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If my friend was visiting me let’s say my mate from the uk, then I would definitely take him to a pub for a pint before he even drops them bags off. Catch up take them to a few local spots in Fort Lauderdale I’m sure my mate will love hooters, the Hard Rock Cafe. Then drive on down to Miami south beach and hit wet willys for them frozen drinks then bar crawl. This is how we have proper fun. But this was if COVID wasn’t around.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
So I have a few people I believe need recognition for supporting me and vice versa. First has to be someone who so talented  radio personality, boss she does it all, she’s a go getter my friend Christina. Secondly I would like to thank Ricky virtuoso this man is a really g.o.a.t I am too now but gotta give him praise for giving me opportunities and the new connections he has introduced me to. Lastly has to be my models you know who you are  for always giving me 100% when I ask for it.
