Stylistically, this startup unisex streetwear brand embraces the idea of global nomads who travel light.
Many streetwear brands represent locality, where they are from, or certain subcultures like skating or surfing. But Foreign Resource—a startup developed by third-year Northeastern University students Robert Yang and Matias Belete—manifests something invisible, metaphysical—the third culture.
