City Kid Weekend is a movement that transforms second-hand fashion into wearable art, merging sustainability, social justice, and creative expression. Through up cycling, design, and community-driven storytelling, we challenge fast fashion, uplift marginalized voices, and create a future where fashion empowers both the creator and the world.

City Kid Weekend is more than a clothing brand—it’s a movement. Founded by Moises Lemus, a designer, engineer, and lifelong advocate for social justice, our brand is rooted in a commitment to art, sustainability, and community empowerment.

Moises has dedicated his life to fighting for social justice, from co-founding and leading student organizations focused on equity and activism to curating art shows, music events, and community outreach programs. While pursuing an AS in Physics and Math at LACC, he helped establish and run Students for Social Justice, a group committed to advocacy and direct action. Upon transferring to UCR for Electrical Engineering with a concentration in robotics, he launched Engineers Love Arts, blending creativity and technology to foster a culture of collaboration, artistic expression, and community service—organizing events, supporting local artists, and feeding the unhoused.

At the same time, he never stopped creating. Clothing, music, videos, design, engineering, and project management have all shaped his journey. But one thing remained constant: his dedication to making a real impact.

That journey led to the creation of City Kid Weekend. More than just fashion, it’s a way of reclaiming art, identity, and community through upcycling and sustainability. Every piece is upcycled, repurposed, and carefully crafted. Until we can manufacture our own goods, we remain committed to sourcing from sustainable, eco-friendly, and ethically responsible distributors.

Our mission extends beyond fashion—it’s about economic justice, racial justice, Indigenous justice, and environmental justice.

In a world where corporate interests dictate both art and labor, City Kid Weekend stands as a rebellion against that system. Much like the way engineers and artists alike struggle for ownership of their work, Moises believes fashion should empower both the creator and the community.

This isn’t just about clothing—it’s about legacy. A commitment to sustainability, creativity, and justice. A testament to the power of art, technology, and activism combined.

City Kid Weekend is for those who dare to disrupt, who challenge the status quo, and who see clothing as more than fabric—it’s a story, a symbol, and a movement.
