From The Home Front: Revive Boutique

The mid-west has always been highly understated in my book. And considering I'm from Michigan, I think that we produce some of the best talent. We had the Motown Sound from Detroit, Gillian Anderson and Tim Allen, President Gerald Ford... Ohh and before she moved to the UK we gave birth to Madonna and her 4 minutes. And while Detroit Fashion Week doesn't have Zac Posen or Diane von Furstenberg we do have some of the best street and urban style around. If you're into the club scene here you will instantly know that a night out on the town in the D is most definitely a fashion show. You either do it B.I.G. or you go home.

And all of this is why I want to bring Revive to your attention. It's a nice little boutique nestled in Birmingham. They specialize in some of the best funky fresh kicks and street wear around. This store is strictly for the innovators. The store was originally founded in 2006 by business partners Aaron Cohen and Darvon Mcghee. Cohen who did a stint at FIT had once envisioned the store being an upper class boutique selling Hermes and Gucci, but later turned the store around and went in a different direction by showcasing some of his own sneakers and from there, the dream was born. Presently the shop is booming with business from youngsters in the area and people as far as Tokyo calling in orders for some of the rarest shoes and street wear around. Revive has taken the game to the next level and introduced the world how fly the midwest and Detroit can still be. With them carrying brands such as Claw Money, Premium Label, The Hundreds Married To The Mob, etc. I see Cohen setting trends for a long time to come.
