Legacy in Motion
Our Story
A Seed Was Planted.
You Helped It Grow.
More than fifteen years ago, a seed was planted — born of pride in a school that shaped a life. What began as typography designs reflecting Dillard's legacy became something far greater: a movement stitched into every shirt, every sponsorship, every mentorship session. 1907 Collection was never about clothing. It was always about movement.

February 2026
Black Excellence Baskets
BSU created "Black Excellence Baskets" honoring alumni teachers — a living symbol of the cycle of legacy. When students invest back in the people who invested in them, the movement has come full circle.
2012 – 2026 · Giving Back
Every Purchase
Is a Seed
1907 Collection sponsored the BSU Care Package for the Homeless in December 2025 — because legacy means showing up beyond the campus walls. Every purchase you made helped make moments like this possible.

2011
A Seed Was Planted
It started as pride in a school that shaped a life. No one knew then it would grow into a movement.
2012
Design Becomes Purpose
Typography designs reflecting Dillard's legacy. The art began asking: how do we make history wearable?
2012 – 2016
Fabric as Affirmation
Girls Basketball, Boys Flag Football, Custom Uniforms, Girls Flag Football apparel. Each donation came from purchases. Each shirt funded a seed.
2016
"Sweet Sixteen" Launches
The first major concept. Storytelling stitched into every thread. Not just apparel — a declaration of legacy.
2017 – 2018
Showing Up
Returned to campus not just as a designer — but as a mentor. Speaking. Encouraging. Investing. 1907 Collection became presence.
2019
Legacy Goes Digital
1907Collection.com launches. Legacy was no longer limited to campus — students could wear what they were inheriting.

Purpose Never Paused
The pandemic slowed production — not mission. Zoom sessions with athletes and students continued sharing Dillard's history. Purpose does not quarantine.
