“Bliss” – (A complete state of happiness)
The new definition of BLISS began in 2006 when and Indiana kid (Darius) skateboarded his way to ATL (not literally of course) and found himself trying to fit in as the new guy. Skateboarding seemed to be his welcoming pass and passion. Not only was he skateboarding but still had a side hobby of experimenting with custom painting shoes, skateboard decks & clothes. After finding a diverse crew to skate with they began a skate crew called R.U.D.E (Remaining Unified During Escapades) Woodpusha’s. After many occasions of Cops vs. R.U.D.E Darius began to expand his thoughts on his love for both fashion and skateboarding.
“As time progress, I realized you can’t fight fire with fire forever. I started to grow mentally and physically searching for something that really complimented who I am. So Heaven was my first pick for the name. It was too cliche. I wanted something more subtle but powerful. I sat down and asked myself, “What makes me happy?” I answered, “skateboarding” and that’s where the name BLISS derived. That’s when the clothing line started to fall in place for me.”
2006 was the Summer where skulls and crossbones were “super dope” and Darius used that idea to build the BLISS logo but instead with a twist. He combined two skateboard trucks and four skateboard wheels with a halo at the top instead of a skull to show his love for Christ.
Paulding County, GA was the only place where you could find BLISS clothing in 2006, at the Inland Board House skate shop. But now BLISS has be found online as well as in ATL fashion shows.
“Year after year I run into people who feel BLISS is for skaters ONLY. They are wrong. I want all my customers to know you dont have to be, act, or look like a skater.You can be who you are just trying to live a blissful life doing what makes YOU happy. I found my BLISS now let me help you find yours.” – Darius CEO
