inside the mind of drovision

“Drovision lies between streetwear and performance art... we strive to create a community through the lenses of open minds, empathy, culture, and of course, fashion.” where did the name DROVISION come from? my full name is lisandro, but everyone calls me dro. the name DROVISION. came from me.. only i can see the way i see. i just want to give people a little bit of my perspective & maybe they will see things a bit di erently. what inspires you? my mind is full of references, may it be an image, music, a piece of fashion or art, & i create something out of something so small and try to elevate it. what does DROVISION think about fashion in 2022? it’s all mid, only balenciaga is taking risks & i think more fashion brands should take more risks. we should all be wearing robot suits by now in my opinion. i’m really into smaller brands right now. i love what my friends make. tallwood & visualsbyjada are my favorite clothing brands right now. you’ll always catch me wearing their clothes. over the past month in Tallahassee, your brand has been able to pop up around the city & have various promotional events. where do you think you will take the brand to next? i want to keep creating & pushing boundries while never staying in a box or being complacent. i can destroy DROVISION tomorrow & start making candles if i want to, i just wanna have fun. me and my friends who are a part of the emerald vision, we want to create things people couldnt imagine. who would be your dream designer to collaborate with? my dream is to collaborate with ass pizza, i love everything he does. he sometimes goes to all the walmarts all around the usa & sells custom garments out of a uhaul truck. i think it’s pretty sick. where do you see DROVISION venturing in the future within the fashion industry?

DROVISION isn’t just sunglasses, it’s more than that and soon it’ll be shown to more people.

DROVISION will continue to engineer and create to push the fashion industry from staying in a box and see things di erently. i’d love to venture o into creating more performance art. i love getting certain reactions out of people especially through art and fashion. i want to provide experiences that people will never forget. an experience or feeling means so much more than just a price tag. the value people put on art & fashion is something so surreal to me .. they value the mona lisa like millions while it only took a couple of dollars to make & i think that’s why art & fashion is so powerful.

The night sky was shining down, my young mind was at a loss for words. I felt something in my hands. Looking down, opening my hand is when I saw it. A little globe covered mostly in blue.

I held it looking in wonder, at what it had to o er. The weight was so heavy but it felt so delicate holding it. That’s when I realized there was so much to learn, from the lights of a city, the wilderness of the jungle, to the deep blue of the ocean.

Looking at this small world, that’s when I felt the feelings, the emotions. The beauty it had; all its wonders made it precious to me.

That’s when I heard everything. All at once, my mind became polluted. The sounds of a horn in the background, mountains of trash, ice melting, beautiful creatures being killed; horrific. I dropped the globe. Stepping back from what I just witnessed. My eyes were tear-stained and my hands shaking. It was only a minute, but it was a lifetime of pain I just experienced. I looked back at the globe wondering how something could be so beautiful. But treated as if it were nothing. When it was so much more. As if it was a nightmare created by our hands. The planet.

Find Me There

By: Daniela Astralaga

Forgotten field of summer

In between dark forests. Never have I seen a sunset so pure, Dreams could not compare to its peace…

Many forge along its beauty, Entering with fear, but struck with hope.

This place that stories describe, Here, untouched by the faithful many.

Enjoying the sounds of silence

Remembering how simple the journey seemed, Echoed through my mind.

Find Me There.

Solace

By: Quinn Wilson

The stress and weight of the world

Is inescapable and dreaded but There is solace found in sleep

With sleep comes dreams

With dreams comes comfort, Hope, happiness, and wonder

When sleep ceases and reality begins again

Hold on tight to the feeling, To the thoughts, To the hopes

That dreams can come true

Where the world is forgiving

The world is accepting

The world is changing

Missing The Afterlife

Walking to the water, the serenity of it all. The peace. I felt no tears - no fears. My mind. Clear, but my thoughts were inconclu- sive. Looking below is when I saw him. His eyes were the same as I last saw them. Happy, I could see the smile. I tried to get to him, but the water separated us.I look into his eyes again, he seemed sad. That’s when I tell him I missed him. Miss him by my side, especially at night.I miss him waking me up.

Making noise when I would arrive home.“I miss you.” Those were my final words to him. The day is clear now the grass below was soft. Now, he turned around and called my name. I looked at him and ran to him. I hugged him.“What’s with the hug? You never hug me.”One statement made me regret so much in my life. The hug wasn’t real. There’s no warmth. No feel- ing. That’s when I woke up. It was all a dream.
