We are dedicated to the thriving underground and remaining free to be expressive no matter what.  

C.N.A. is a lifestyle spawned from the love of music, art and fashion from the streets. C,N.A has created a unique family of Artists, Musicians, Vinyl Djs, Models, Dancers and Freestylers uniting to showcase various talents at our own “One of a kind” events. Although we are quickly growing and expanding to involve and rep talents, we pride ourselves in delivering the best.  Come to one of our events and experience something unparalleled, something for the senses. This is unique clothing for unique people. Sometimes chaotic, always progressive, extremely creative and truly expressive, we are one. We are all stars but some shine brighter than others. Are you ready for C.N.A ? Then, what’s your D.N.A?

History 

  

  

We have been in business since September 2007.   

Within just one year we have expanded our inventory from a mere 10 hats to over 200 hundred in total inventory.   Our inventory has grown to include Custom Painted and designed Denim jeans & Jackets, Shirts, Tanks, Leathers, Boots & More.  We have moved from just a unique local underground clothing company to partnering with other companies to do events to finally doing our own events.  We have seen our staff grow from the two of us to over 20 in total staff.  We have our own models, Djs, Musicians-rockbands, Rappers, breakdancers, gogo dancers & more.    

 

The future for us seems endless as we intend to take this underground company and its growing family to Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Miami and Finally Europe.With just over 18 events alone in 2009 and a new store opened in 2010, we seem to be making our own unique path here in San Diego and soon the world.  One step at a time as we patiently grow and keep our ideas new and fresh. 

Music is what drives and motivates us.  It is the music that fuels our creative energies.  From Oldschool Hip Hop to Break-beat electronica,  the beats keep us flowing.  Our passion is the key to our success. Be Expressive, be true, be progressive, be you.  Be fearless.  CNA  CnA Clothing: One of a Kind, Built to Last. 

 BIO:  CNA is a Small, tight, talented and creative family of Underground Artists, Musicians, Djs, Models and Entertainers that believe we can change the world with a simple but special Idea.  We are NOT like ED HARDY or other companies alike.  This is a family of misfit artists, created by two people in LOVE with a unique idea to combine fashion, music and art.

City Beat July 08 issue 

CEO Christopher Sean   

 So far we been featured in a few local magazines.  944 said some cool stuff about us in their May 08 Issue.  We wer surprised to be featured in City Beat as Upcoming street Fashion/Street Style.  To quote City Beat “The word “Urban” has pretty much lost its true meaning.  You hear it everywhere–from Downtown-condo marketing schemes to new restaurants that want to reach the younger,hipper crowd-but the twosome behind C.N.A Clothing, a San Diego  line thats been around for about a year now, can call themselves “Urban” without a hint of hesitation.  The street-inspired, hand-painted hats, jean and tanks are covered in wearable graffiti art mixed with powerful expressions like “Army of love” and “Fuck War”. pg 17. 

 944 May O8 Issue 

944 May o8 issue 

Pg. 34 quote: CNA ClothingThe Underground art movement isn’t underground anymore, with emergence of CNA Clothing.  Fusing all things art, music and fashion from the underground scene, CNA specializes in hand-painted, one-of-a-kind denim, caps, tanks for men and women.  Express your inner Van Gogh as local San Diego artists keep CNA progressive and creative.  The line is literally a walking fusion of art, fashion and self-expression.”
