About Cruzado
ABOUT CRUZADO
The name “Cruzado” was inspired by one of my favourite characters in one of my favourite movies; Blood In, Blood Out.
Cruzito was a talented artist.
He had heart, vision, and potential. But life crossed him, he broke his back in some gang-related trife, and it lead to addiction, pain and loss.
Even with everything against him, he still saw the world like a painter does: through colour, contrast, and truth.
(Blood in, Blood out is free to watch on YouTube)
That’s what Cruzado represents.
Taking everything that’s hurt you and turning it into something worth showing.
Making art out of what tried to break you.
Cruzado means crossed.
When life hits you sideways.
When people doubt you, trick you, disrespect you.
When things don’t go as planned and you’re forced to decide:
Fold, or stand strong.
Cruzado was born in those moments.
Crossed by people, by circumstance, even by your own mistakes.
Every decision, every relationship, every path you’ve crossed brought you here.
Still finding your way forward.
Knowing the bad moments don’t last forever, and neither do the good ones.
Cruzado isn’t about being loud or chasing trends.
It’s for the ones who move in silence…
Who take pride in the small things… a sharp crease, the fit of a garment, the way the work speaks for itself.
Every stitch, every fold, every print reflects that mindset.
Cruzado is for the ones who been crossed.
The ones who keep moving.
The ones who didn’t fold.
Get Crossed.
Keep Cruzin’
