The 4ce

Gregory Dubuisson and Emmanuel Carboo

Two self-taught designers with a passion for fashion, music and painting created a platform where artists can meet, teach and grow. The clothing designers, Gregory Dubuisson and Emmanuel Carboo combined their two clothing brands to empower the youth of Worcester to embrace and enhance on their talents. The 4ce is the combination of both clothing brands WAVVZ New Page and Urban Pigeons. This brand originated on January 1, 2018, when Dubuisson and Carboo met at a hookah lounge in Worcester.

Sameness is uncool and if Vogue’s summer trend report reveals anything, it’s a shift toward customization. My macaroni necklace is better than your macaroni necklace. Why? Because I made it. Worcester’s design community is keeping pace. Take, for example, Gregory Dubuisson and Emmanuel Carboo. Dubuisson and Carboo have merged their respective clothing brands, Wavvz Newage and Urban Pigeons, to target local youth and evoke their talents by organizing fashion shows under the brand: The 4ce. The 4ce hosts workshops and sewing lessons in an effort to help young participants create their own professional portfolios.

"Gregory Dubuisson grew up in Haiti, while Emmanuel Carboo was raised in Ghana. Through their drive and self-taught sewing skills, they found themselves partnering in The 4ce 2.0 here in Worcester and revitalizing the creative arts scene.It was never their intention, though. Dubuisson attended Anna Maria College, then Worcester State University, with hopes of becoming a doctor. He tossed that idea when he realized a true passion for fashion.The events that the pair have put on involve more than fashion – they incorporate music and painting.“It is tough to combine three (creative outlets) for one event, but there is a need for it – talking to people around here, they wish it would happen more,” Dubuisson said.

A bond forged in fashion: Two Worcester men create clothing line with aspirations of reaching designer stardom

"Gregory Dubuisson and Emmanuel Carboo grew up on different continents. Eventually the pair would find themselves both working at Lowe's in Worcester. Carboo was sketching designs on receipts."I do the same thing," Dubuisson told Carboo when they first met in 2013.Their passion for art, music and fashion has blossomed into a friendship and now the creation of their own business called The 4ce 2.0.The energy between the 25-year-old men, who share an apartment on Uxbridge Street in Worcester, is palpable. Their drive resulting in them meeting famous singers and musicians, Wyclef Jean, Steve Aoki and Desiigner.
