Congrats to Kareem Collie and Donald Franklin II, on the look they received in New York Magazine last week.The two are partners in Dimitrious, Inc.. a design firm based in Brooklyn (also the design team behind 21st Century Hustle Magazine's next 2 covers).
The Dynamic Duo was caught on the streets of Manhattan headed to a meeting when the reporter roped them into a short interview about style and fashion. However, them being Go Getters on the grind, it trancended into a business conversation.
An excerpt from the interview:

KAREEM: I had a client walk into a meeting one day and say to me, "If you had come in here dressed any other way, I would ask to see your portfolio. But I can tell by the way that you're dressed, that you're sharp, and that you're on it. Let's just do it."
