Helping others through fashion


Glenn A. Hughes has been reaching to better his life since the early 1990's. He has been a StreetWise vendor for over ten years and is now participating as an atrist in the five ACCESSORIES' income generating program called 'Off The Street'. Glenn is making picture frames adorned with unslightly litter such as transit cards and sports ticket stubs collected off the streets of Chicago.


When asked what he wants to write on his personalized hangtag that accompanies each product he makes, Glenn decided to say the following:

'Never look down on anyone until you are reaching down to help them up. In order to know where you are going, you need to know and appreciate where you have been'.
