The work of an artist has always been a practice of articulation—transmuting one’s innermost imagination and ideas into the external world. Participants serve as portals between the unseen and the seen, as they tap into and reveal their boundless creativity. This praxis is essential to the craftsmanship of Dynasty and Soull Ogun, the founders of ­Brooklyn-based brand L’Enchanteur.

00:00I'm a big believer that you create your world that you live in.
00:10I think the most important thing is when we talk about the brand, it's always come back
00:15that it's like, oh, it's so much more than a brand.
00:18We're not separate from it, which is cool, but it also is really about being driven and
00:27anchored into self-healing.
00:49I was reading this book from before it was Into the Wu. It was a book about the Wu-Tang and the
00:54beginning of them, and I think the RZA wrote it. And he had this strategy, putting them in these
01:00different places and have them all drop and what that looks like and how through that they were able
01:05to share their philosophy in different aspects. And I think us sharing the work with others in so many
01:13different types of ways and also finding ways to express ourselves, not just through the garments
01:18and the jewelry, but through our art and through design and in a hundred years, it will be in so
01:24many different places throughout the world and then beyond the world, within the multiverse.
01:31What's interesting, we call ourselves the Mystic Healers of Flatbush.
01:38It's everything. It expands. It's the enchanter. So the idea of Lo Chanté is to
01:42enchant anything it comes in contact with. I'm a big believer that you create your world that you live
01:51in and then creation starts with a thought. So it's about thinking about what you want to create
01:59rather than, I guess, thinking about what you don't.
02:01I would say the brand is an incubator of sorts, a design incubator, and also a spiritual journey
02:15into oneself, going within to share without, to share with the world. It's a big experiment.
