Meet the Creator of Point Blanks

Founded by Phoenix Filichia, a passionate 21-year-old from the suburbs of Chicago. Whether he's producing his live "Beats Before Breakfast" series, dropping new music, or creating visual art, Phoenix is always making something. Always. Point Blanks is where his creative expression channels into the wide world of clothing.

In fact, he truly believes it to be an intrinsic part of his nature. From his mother putting him in gymnastics classes as a child for "having a concerning overload of energy", he has since become deeply invested and active in many areas of life, that same energy driving him today. Things like spirituality, fitness, travel, and creating art are just a few of the many things he finds himself immersed in.

As a kid, he knew he didn't simply want to create. He needed to. Almost like a calling, whether it be photography, drawing a sketch, or freestyling a song in one take, he was pulled into the world of creative expression.

In his coming of age years, Phoenix was found borderline everywhere. The hidden local sunset spot, inside any abandoned building with a "KEEP OUT" sign, biking around at 1am with his close friends. School was no different either. To chopping it up with the shy but brilliant nerds in his art class, walking around with the head-honcho football players during passing period, to sharing a laugh with the students who just seemed to go with the flow of school. By graduation, all that moving between new people and places was leading him, without realizing it, toward something bigger.

Fast forward to January 2nd, 2025. In a bold, risky, and as some would say, "quite reckless" move... Phoenix took a leap of faith. Taking him 1000+ miles away from his secure, safe, and comfortable lifestyle in his hometown, to a new, unknown town, in the southern state of Florida... completely solo, on his own.

Since then, Phoenix has been a continuous and prominent force of momentum in the pursuit of personal creative expression through art. With a growing catalog of music, active social media, and a burning desire to express art through high-quality, self-aware social apparel... came the creation of Point Blanks.
