Streetwear has always held meaning 一 its roots exist in the underground culture from the 1980s through the '90s including graffiti, hip-hop, and skateboarding, which still exists today. But what about religion?
Cosigned by God is the Houston-based streetwear brand that fills in the gap.
Created by Tianna Jenkins, the spiritual label birthed right here in the city is the consummate intersection of streetwear and divinity. Branded as “simplistic streetwear for the Kingdom of God,” the brand features an assortment of merchandise, like tees and bucket hats.
The brand chose its name because, “your existence is a reflection of God, and God has already cosigned your future,” according to their founder, Tianna Jenkins. Cosigned by God launched in March of 2021 amongst friends and family, and soon turned into something much greater.
“When it comes to streetwear [Cosigned by God] is basically bridging the gap between what you see in like a Supreme or a Bape, and brands like that,” says the founder. “I wanted to create a message that shows people that, God is cool too.”
By creating “simplistic streetwear for the Kingdom of God,” the brand is spreading positivity throughout the Houston area with its signature apparel. Gaining some immense traction in the city, you can catch a billboard, on I-10 eastbound, promoting the label.
