“Being The Original”
Being The Original does not mean being loud.
It does not mean playing king.
It does not mean looking like everyone else.
Being The Original means being who God created you to be.
Not fake.
Not copied.
Not driven by trends, gossip, or other people’s opinions.
But loyal.
Brave.
And responsible for the Kingdom you are called to build.
Today we see people — rappers, influencers and role models — calling themselves “king” and “boss”.
But at the same time:
– they take drugs
– live double lives
– and build their image on ego and status
That is not Kingdom.
That is noise.
At The Original, being a king and a queen means something different.
GOLD LION represents the King.
LIONESS represents the Queen.
Not because you rule over others —
but because you take responsibility for your life, your faith and your choices.
A real King protects.
A real Queen builds.
They do not spread gossip.
They do not live fake.
They stand firm — even when no one is watching.
Being The Original is not about looking different.
It’s about living different.

Brand Story / About Us
✨ The Story Behind me
A Journey of Faith, Loyalty, and Becoming Real
You might wonder: Why "The Original"?
Here’s the story behind the name — and behind me.
I grew up in a world full of masks.
My mother said one thing to my face and did the opposite behind my back. I had no real male role models — except for 2Pac. My uncles were self-serving, and their so-called friends were just shadows. And my father? That’s the most complicated part.
He’s the second son of Francesco De Virgilio, the engineer behind the iconic V6 engine. Francesco married Rita, the niece of Vincenzo Lancia — founder of the legendary Lancia car brand.
But I didn’t know any of this until 2019. That year, I met my father for the first time at age 35.
And sadly, he too proved to be fake.
But i grew up in Tanzania, rough living until i ended up in Denmark, when my mother found a danish husband. Denmark was better, but had to many scars and sorrows to stay on the good side of life.
🛐 But God had another plan.
In 2010, my life changed.
A miracle happened — and I encountered the presence of God. He showed me a new path: one of truth, loyalty, love, and courage. I began to rebuild — not just my life, but my identity.
I chose not to become like those before me.
I chose to become The Original — not by bloodline, but by transformation.
Because we are not born to be slaves of the past.
We were created to be kings and queens, made in the image of a loving God.
👑 Why I Create
My designs are not just prints.
They are reminders of who we really are — people of purpose, strength, and calling.
Each garment declares:
“I will not be fake. I will not repeat the past. I will be real. Loyal. Loving. Fearless.”
Wearing The Original is a message to the world:
You’ve been through something.
You’ve overcome.
And you're not going back.
“Dear God, please lead me to my destiny.”
— Aclam Giovanni De Virgilio
