A few weeks ago a lond time good friend of ours, Yuske told us about Yone’s show over at the Reed Space as well as Fafi’s show in N.Y. to with Le sport sac. (Yuske knows I am a huge fan of both Fafi’s and Yone’s work.) He also has been working with Parra of Rockwell for a number of years now. He told me to check out Parra’s show when it comes to L.A. Last’s nights show was at the D.T. Standard. Open bar from 7-10pm. After party at the roof top/pool for invited guest…… Which then carried on to La Cita…..But I had to go home to burn a little midnight oil….

Check out some of the ill photos our man Rob shot.
Rob Hamada’s words:
Joie de Vivre
The idea behind this project was to create the most unique editorial possible. Many of the models come from a very historic lineage. Clark Gable, greatgrandson of Clark Gable, Dree Crisman, Earnest Hemmingways greatgranddaughter, Kian Mitchum, Robert Mitchums grandson, Margarita Kallas and Sean K, the current face of Sisley. Then styled by some of the most exciting new designers, The Cinch, House of Cassette and Brian Lichtenberg. All based on the aesthetics of French New Wave cinema and film noir to give a very sharp edge to a classic look.

Wednesday Night

It’s Wednesday night Rickey Kim and Rob Hamada stop by the studio to kick it before we headed out to Jeffery Sebelia’s first runway show since his tv show. I don’t normally like to attend runway shows but this one was right around the corner from our studio so it made it a little easier to go. Right after getting there I remembered why I don’t like going to events like these. There was a line for a drink at the bar.. a line to use the loo, and a line to show how vip you were…
Han Cholo O.G. Los Angeles jewelry maker.
After the show was over we headed over to scout for a bday party they were having.

Simple Pleasures

The last time Josh Madden was over with his brother Joel we rattled on about different artists and movies that inspired us. During our conversations he said he was going to send over a few things he wanted me to check out… Josh Madden is a cool ass botha. He sent over 6 dvd’s and a Edward Gorey book. Yup, that what I did this weekend.. The first one I watched was docu/movie The Rising Sun about Christian Hosoi. Christian used to be my neighbor back in the 80’s. Man, it brought back some memories of the good ‘ol days.
Thanks Josh!!
Edward Gorey 20 years ahead of his time…. An inspiration for our collection today.

The Madden Bro’s
Our buddy, stylist, DJ, and true inspiration Josh Madden(right) was in town from nyc. He stopped by our studio with his brother Joel Madden(left) to say hi. It’s really rare when after you meet with someone you change the way you see things. This is what happened to me when I met Josh. He has such a positive out look on life and things in general, his energy just rubs off on you. He was in town visiting his brothers of Good Charlotte before they leave on pre-tour(A world tour before the World Tour) this weekend. We talked about the inspiration of the pictures posted up on our studio pillars, art, guns, skating and movies. Joel said he collects guns and I my ears opened up.. I definitely want to see your quiver one day. I’m down to peel some caps any day Joel. I’ll bring mine if you bring yours. Smile.

James Hammonds (Left) and his friend Kamran stopped by the studio. James and Kamran are both very sharp! These two are keen to pick up on the smallest details.

Cheers guys, Thanks for showing us some love.

WGSN putting us Blast.
WGSN is a private internet site for trend forecasting and market research mainly for clothing, shoe and car design companies. I was first introduced to WGSN back in 1998 while I was at designing for Puma A.G./North America. What these guys do is attend most all the trade shows going on globally and recap the highlights of what took place. They also window shop all the major cities in the world, and post snap shots of their findings on the internet for their clients to see. We got news today that WGSN put us on blast as well as some of our friends.

We closed the studio for a few hours before sunset to roll out for a little field trip to the hills. As soon as we turned the corner from our studio, almost all of us in unison noticed the unusual sunset. We had to stop the truck for a picture.

Sunrise on the Westside.

After running around Las Vegas on fumes– I was looking forward to coming home and literally jump into bed for a week straight. But who has time for that. I would liked to have met up with some friends from nyc after dinner, but after some home cook’n I knock the fuck out.
The next morning– Zingg, I woke up before sunrise kinda upset wondering why my ass is up so early. I walked upstairs to brew up some coffee. Look what I see out my window.
I cooled out with my fresh brew and enjoyed the sunrise.

The Long Way Home.

We had to get up somewhat early and make our journey homeward back to Los Angeles. Ana Maria had to make it home in the afternoon for a few appointments. We heard that the fwy was closed down to one lane up ahead… So we took the long way home through the desert and up to big bear. Even though we were a bit late, we had to stop and take some photos of our road trip.. Here’s some photos of us having fun on our road trip back home.
You gota love Southern California.

Rickey Kim and Sky told me to roll over to Fruition which is one of the coolest stores if your looking for vintage gucci knock off’s swapmeet sweaters, offical spike lee’s “do’n the butt” puffy print sweat shirts.. While we were there we met up with a bunch of ny heads then headed over to light. The pick below reminds of this time while I was at Puma we packed 15 girls and guys on top of each for a drive home after a club in Germany.. I think I still have the record.

It was a good way to launch the week off in Las Vegas. 7-10pm was a powerhouse of mingling and rapping out with only a limited select few and then all the kids rolled through, it got retarded.
