Interview by Shirlene Alusa-Brown (jamati.com) Photography by Bernos | Posted Monday, April 6, 2009
Bernos stands for quality. Bernos stands for cultural pride. But what is Bernos? Bernos is becoming a cultural phenomenon in the Washington DC area. Their shirts have been seen on K’naan, featured on several local news outlets, and are poised to make a difference in a big way in the region. Their fans have been growing and their t-shirts can be spotted on any given day in the DC area. What made them such a phenomenon? Jamati.com caught up with them to find out.
Jamati: Bernos has come a long way from its humble beginnings. How did you all, as founding members come up with the idea to make t-shirts?
That’s a good question. The idea behind making Bernos t-shirts is simply organic. We were all looking for a way to express ourselves creatively and felt it would be a great avenue to do something that came naturally. Being lovers of t-shirts, and it being the main source of our fashion statement, we wanted to design t-shirts that expressed our historical and cultural landmark. Each one of us plays a respective role in the daily operations of the organization. Together we each bring our individual skills in the areas of business, fashion, graphic design, and photography. With all our talents combined it was inevitable that our brain child Bernos was born.

Good work! I dig the blogging – but I must confess, I want to see MORE SHIRTS!!! In fact, I’ll even give you an idea – just cuz’ I’m that type of dude. Ready? A basic scan of an old Ethiopian Shekla – that hasn’t been reissued, of course. For example, there is a Mulatu Astatke shekla from back in the days on Addis Ababa Records – that would be v. cool!!! Or there is another one – pressed in Japan many years ago – where the text is all in Amharic! I wculd buy a whole bunch of those!!!!! I’m sure EthioJazz could get you the scans. Keep it up!!!!!
