Cooch Styles provides Industrial Singers for TA.

We had the great privilege to meet William "COOCH" Mackson yesterday. In the 80's, William created the brand "Cooch Styles", a line of fashions that was the precursor to today's Hip Hop fashions on the street. Long before Hoodies and over-sized wear became en vogue and lines like Phat Pharm, Karl Kani and Echo Wear came out on the scene, William was what Little Richard was to Rock and Roll, An innovator and creator of the first Black Hip Hop clothing designs that helped to create the culture. Without a doubt, the first in the area of the small town of Lakewood, NJ.

William is now creating childrens books in an effort to help children learn to read and appreciate the art. Trenton Atelier has the pleasure of adding William Mackson to our family! He will be giving us weekly lessons on how to create our own clothing.

Expect to see TA clothing in 2011!
