Tradeshow season is back, and we’re back so lean back.
UNIF, 7′ light box
Huh?
Stopped by Pool to say what up to the Durkl group. Their new Durkl x Sabre eyewear..
Will, fresh back from a beer run.
Pool, uh?
Back to Project.. JFry, and we out.
With Project approaching there seems to be something weird in the air, seemingly running hand in hand with my friends I’ve come across.
Jason (Cyana Lab) the new selling force behind Stampd’ LA, at the Revolve Clothing store opening, and yes, that is a mini truckin’ shirt with a teal unicorn cigar..
No adjustments needed for this one. Lulu, designing for those Affection types..
Tom just shot the new lookbook for JoyRich, Cottrell lost his lid a little during the shoot. Stress.
Eric (Matisyahu for a day) and Christine, dialing in the details for UNIF.
This has no relevance.
YESSIR
A timeless classic in the making. Here’s just a glimpse into what we’re stirring up next week in Vegas. (Look closely at the details)
Taz Arnold and Big O present TI$A Phenomenon..
Raf Simons, Dip Dyed Hi’s.. Eric turned me on to these and I’m in love.
The good majority of mornings I hop on the 101 heading downtown, I find myself sitting in an endless bumper to bumper battle zone. Someone starting their Monday with traffic being the least of their worries..
Saturday was more eventful than most. Drew stopped by to rap about haircuts and sunglasses. He peeped my new Goliath, Ultras and was envious..
Had to give it to him for his Goliaths.
Got into talking about the new line of shades I’m doing. Here’s a sneak peek of COMB, which will be debuting in Spring 09.
Stopped by the Insight offices to sift through their weekend long sample sale and chat it up with Jake. Here, their freshly stacked line up.
Jake, Miles.
Insight, show room.
Ksubi’s offices are attached to Insight’s, both of which sitting under the same corporate umbrella. Here, a pile of the Jeremy Scott love Ksubi denim, waiting for sale.
Linked with Chris and Noa for the Neckface art show.
Then to Box Eight.
Afrobots, where my koalas at.
Jerry on the grind.
The good and the bad behind LOVA.
Eric, and another UNIF groupie, right before she stole his phone.
And we out.
Sometimes certain building just look dope on the way home..
So do fake flowers..
Back (now with more hair)
In the latest issue of Antenna magazine they paid homage to my home town of Encinitas. They get talking about how the emerging street wear / fashion scene in E-Town is sticking together, creating their own niche in an ever saturated market spanning globally.
It was just a few years ago when I first went into UNIV (Encinitas based concept shop), met Tim and Mirko, and worked with them on a pair of custom kicks for their shop. It’s inspiring to see them not only making it work, but blowing up, becoming noticed throughout the industry. They are now closely working with brands like One People Project, Alphanumeric, Vapor Design Studio to name a few, and on their way to taking over San Diego by storm.. Check Robust Flavor, and UNIV to see what’s good.
