New Summer Hoodies from Kidrobot!!

Thursday, July 26th, 2007

Kidrobot drops new Hoodies and a matching hat from artist Tilt!! Each is limited and numbered so once they’re gone, they’re gone! The great thing about this is you and your Boo can get all matchy matchy!!! If there is one thing I have learned from the love that is Ice T and Coco, is that it’s important to be “united” in your dress, it could be as simple as wearing the same colors or in this case, hoody…it’s important to let the people know who your with and what better way then with Kidrobot’s new hoodies!!! (I hope someone out there knows what I am talking about re: Ice T and Coco)

SWNDL Fall 2007 Collection

Wednesday, July 25th, 2007

swndl_001.jpg

Several new female streetwear brands are evolving, I’m glad they’re acknowledging that there is a market for the ladies in the dominant male streetwear game. SWNDL is a new female streetwear label set to debut this Fall (mid-late August). SWNDL was first established as “Swindel Designs, Ltd.” in April 2007 serving as a business platform for creative work. An abbreviation of the word swindle, their name is a direct reflection of their outlook: a collective of young city talent out to get theirs. Combining their love for Brooklyn and popular sensibility they form to work on various projects, mainly their street wear apparel line.

Art HERstory: Barbara Kruger

Tuesday, July 24th, 2007

(I love the image above! I do that in my head when people are punks to me…)

Ok, I cannot go another week without posting something about Barbara Kruger! Whether you know her name or not, her work is inescapable. Her juxtaposition of word and image are highly recognized and always thought provoking.

I have to give my liberal high school props for having Ms. Kruger’s book, Remote Control: Power, Cultures, and the World of Appearances, in the library. I checked that book out a good 8 times from sophomore to senior year because the images intrigued me so much. Her work definitely impacted and steered me into the direction of graphic design.
