Q1 Pease tell us your brief background.
Kingly Coverings was established in August 2004, by Troy Hollinger, (although jotted down in the journal/dream world in early 2000). Troy is a local southern California boy who has wanted to be in fashion design since the 80's. Troy is 26 years old to date. Only with the divine partnership of his close mate, Curtis Anderson, has kingly been able to grow from dream to reality. |

Determination, desire and the faint feeling of child hood dreams, drives these two. It is only a matter of time before this company, engined by dual partnership, is distinguished as one of the best. The vision of the company is to decorate the world and it's people with artsy, unique, comfortable, righteous clothing. In all aspects, Kingly is aimed at worldwide apparel. The plan of attack is ingenuity, perseverance, stableness and following the path of boyhood dreams.
Q2 Would you tell us your career as a fashion designer?
It is a constant pursuit, we have recently butted heads with getting to the point where we might have to drop our day job and souly focus on owning Kingly, but we have not come to the conclusion of making this choice, one day...
Q3 What kind of fashion style do you like?
Rough.. Tough.. Artsty, well thought out, streetwear mainly.. |

| Kingly means, to be like, or in the fashion of a king. Kingly exists to promote a better way of living. Living like a king, being royal. Putting others above yourself, loving your neighbor, giving, being mastered by nothing, fleeing the endless repetition of greed, lust, hate, fret, and being Kingly. There is a better way to live. Pride leads to ruin. Humbleness and selflessness preserves you through the ages. Be Kingly, and miss not the King and His Kingdom. Long live the King. Coverings is another word for clothing, just at the root of what clothing is all about... covering your privates. Kingly Coverings. Covering privates since 04. Kingly believes in freewill. Kingly believes people are much more than what is communicated on the exterior. Kingly believes in the interior, that soul is deep. Soul is on the inside of man and woman, and that clothing is a reflection of the inner person. Soul cannot be contained nor constrained to what the mirror tells us. Skate, surf, Graf artist, dj or rock-n-roller... be you. Be free. Kingly will be a relevant, long lasting, well known, highly wanted, worldwide clothing company built for the ages. |

Q4 Would you tell us about your brand? What is the concept behind it?
No formal schooling or instruction manual has been used to fuel kingly, we live this, this is deep in our bones and straight from the heart. The school of hard knocks is our university. The ambition of needing more than what is offered on this earth, aches and pains internally, hence light in darkness, pure in impure has begun to move, breathe and bring hope that dreams and the thoughts written deep in heart are realistically chased down and brought to this bland reality of touch and feel, "stranded in skin and bones" episode of eternity we are stuck in, momentarily. After all is said about Kingly, the most important bit is clothing with heart, by people with heart, for people with heart...
Q5 What do you think the trend for this season?
Shoot! whatever we say..Just kidding, flannels have been resurrected, and kingly kids on harleys!
We wear what we want, thought provoking (fashion) is a must though. |

Q6 What is your greatest inspiration when you make pieces?
The ambition of needing more than what is offered on this earth, dreams and the thoughts written deep in heart, traveling also is very inspirational, but I must say that bloody Fella who hung a lower case has captured my attention and is very good inspiring my little world. |
