Someone that doesn’t front and completely comfortable in their own skin. No matter what weird interests they may or may not have. Someone who doesn’t pretend to floss. Also to be a well dressed dude. And not well dressed as in designer clothes but you just know what looks good and you roll with it.You being a Trill Girl, what does that mean to you?
It would be the same thing. Real ass girl that doesn’t front and goes with whatever she likes and is GOOD AT IT. And someone who can dress, and not in the sense of what I like, or what someone else likes. But in the sense she just owns whatever she wears. She wears it to the fullest and isn’t embarrassed or shy.

What is City of Trill?

City of Trill is an online thrift store that specializes in rare and vintage clothing for both men and women. The website is CityOfTrill.com.


What made you want to start City of Trill?

City of Trill has been an idea I’ve had in mind for a while. I’ve been purchasing my clothes from thrift stores and ebay exclusively for the past 4 years. It all started with me not wanting to pay $65 for some camouflage shorts. So I found an army surplus store, bought some pants for $8 and cut them and there I was with the exact shorts I wanted. After that it became an addiction seeing clothes that were dope that very few people have because they’re old and/or discontinued. So I figured why not sell this to other people who had a very unique style without the designer budget. If it looks good, it looks good and if it doesn’t it doesn’t.

Why the name City of Trill?

I love the movie City of God and if anyone knows me they know I speak/tweet/and text in mostly pop culture references so it would only make sense to use wordplay on a popular movie to name my company. And the reason I used to word Trill is because that’s what I want City of Trill and it’s audience to represent. Fly people wearing shit they think is fly not cause the label on the tag or the logo but because….it’s fly.

Where do you see City of Trill going?

I see it going as far as the people want it to go. As long as the general public feel I provide good product at good prices City of Trill will forever be successful. I get the product you see on the site from all over so if I’m constantly looking I will find something my consumer is interested in.

What do you want people to think when they hear City of Trill?

Just dope clothes and the I don’t give a fuck. Do It Yourself attitude that started this idea. I didn’t hire any photographers or models. I was just blessed with the people around me who support me and the vision.

When does it officially open?

A large run of the clothing we have available will be on CityofTrill.com Friday March 9, 2012 at 12PM PST/3PM EST


Anything else you want to add?

Yes. There will be new shipments every Friday so make sure to check back with CityofTrill.com to see new product. There will also be a new collection every month bringing you a brand new selection of clothes. Also every month the 2 women who so graciously try on my clothing for me will be the Trill Girls of the month and I will give you a taste of their personality on this tumblr before the collection drops. Later today, I will be revealing the first Trill Girl of the month and tomorrow will be the second.
