GUILTY USA was founded in November 2016 by three St. John’s University students. After meeting during our freshman year, we decided to turn our lifestyle into a clothing brand. The GUILTY USA team is Jibril Mitchell, James Dearing, and Kevin Horsey. As we got closer to each other and talked about each other’s previous experiences we realized that

no matter what we did people would always perceive us as being guilty. Although we were college students and came from middle class

backgrounds, to the outside world just from the way we look and dress, we are still considered guilty of any criminal action whether it’s true or not. Once we came up with the idea we blended our fashion styles together and started coming up with concepts.
