One simple word. Craft.
A design that is pretty much copy & paste for $100+ printed over a gildan tee?
Garbage ….

So i’m a little sad that i’m just now catching up on game with this brand. I started following them on IG about a week or so ago and what caught my attention about them was a shirt a friend of mine liked. So I started following them but really didn’t look into it that much. Until today they posted a picture up and so I decided to go to website. looked up their videos and they had this theme of Grand Theft Auto San Andres video and so I instantly question whats going on here? I look at their previous look books and mannnnn …. Their Fall/Winter 2012 look book is by far the best one, and most creative one i’ve seen yet. The picture below explain it all.
LORRAMIDCITY
I recently started following this guy on Instagram that has some interesting pictures. I don’t even now how it is I want to describe them but he was recently the model for the Now & Then Summer Collection. He revealed his website today and so I decided to check it out. From the main page that is very (Flash) it instantly attracts you in. The video below is a preview of his collection which that itself looks well put together. From a shirt, to sweats, to air force ones.
Follow him on Instagram @ midcityyjiro & @LORRAMIDCITY
Supreme
Supreme released their fall/winter 2013 lookbook today and like some hip-hop song I think I might have look at the pieces over and over again to look more in depth of them. One piece that really caught my eye was the Supreme racing jacket. I knew it wasn’t long till that “nascar” look a like style started to grow more popularity. The box logo is a classic and like every other piece of the project i’m sure that the box logo tee is going to fly quick. All in all I liked the pieces. Supreme is sure never to disappoint with their drops.
Personal Preference
I recently got asked what upcoming or established brands do I like. I figured I’d put you all on game and share some of my few favorites at the moment. Enjoy
STRAY RATS
DERTBAG
RARE PANTHER
NOW & THEN
SINCE1769
THE UNICO 1990
FUCT
Aside from the fact that this video is quite old, this is always my go to “get inspired” video. Erik Brunetti is hands down my favorite. Let alone Fuct is my favorite brand. So to any one in the streetwear industry as my man would call it. I recommend you see this if you have yet to do so.
Story telling Art
Give yourself a second to think of “El Comino” if you’re like most people you might of thought of chevrolets El Camino car. Or if you’re a good cook you know that cumin is a plant seed which is mainly used to cook Mexican dishes. In this case “El Comino Co™” is an upcoming streetwear brand from Montbello, Colorado. Creative Director Alfredo Contreras is portraying a story about his father throughout his twenty years of life. There is where El Comino comes from. Since a young man Alfredo’s father had the nickname El Comino and the reason being was because he was short, and still fairly short. The cumin seed is very small. See the connection? Simply story telling art. From goofy cartoon art of his father, to bold typography that holds so much within every word. The upcoming brand is looking to drop its first shirt late this year and rumor has it that the first shirt will be on the house. So with that being said, definitely keep an eye out for El Comino CO™
