Text EntriesCross Colours was a clothing company established in 1989 that rose to popularity in the 1990s. Founded by Carl Jones and T.J. Reed, Cross Colours aimed to promote positive messages of unity and cultural awareness through fashion. The clothing line was known for its bright and bold designs, featuring African-inspired prints and patterns. The company was a pioneer in the urban fashion movement and helped to bring attention to streetwear as a legitimate fashion genre. Cross Colours clothing was worn by some of the biggest names in entertainment, including Tupac, Ice-T, and Queen Latifah, helping to solidify the brand's place in the new wave of Hip-Hop fashion of the 1990s.
