Bapy to Return in 2010

Female Bape heads rejoice!
Now under new direction, Bape will be bringing back the Bapy line for the upcoming Spring 2010 season.



Not much information past that for the time being but I am really happy to see this news. The 1st time I visited Japan I was lucky enough to check out the original Bapy store before it, and the line, ceased to be. It was awesome to see an entire store dedicated to women, and not only clothes as there were all sorts or accessories and daily goods. Such a difference from the average Bape store that showcases only a corner or so for the women, the store was a refreshing feminine twist on the brand.

Personally I hope that the store reopens as well, but for now we'll have to wait and see...

Patta x Nike Air Max 1 TZ "Precinct 5"

I schooled y'all on the Patta movement not too long ago, and they are keeping up that momentum. Their new store with Stussy, Precinct 5, has opened doors and there is yet another Air Max 1 dropping for the occasion...





Simple at 1st glance but just as ill as the past couple AM1s that we have seen from Patta. Peep the details:

"The chosen materials on this installment are a heavy-duty plain-woven canvas overlay and a high quality ballistic nylon underlay both in black. Subtle accents appear in signature Patta green. Other details include coated metal eyelets, natural gumsole and Patta tongue branding."

As far as we know, this will be dropping exclusively at Precinct 5 on the 18th of this month.

Yours Truly - Holiday '09 "Fuck the Economy"

Better late than never, Yours Truly has just released a lookbook for their Holiday 2009 collection which is bluntly called "Fuck the Economy". I shot the lookbook this past weekend, so hope you enjoy...

"The checkered craigslist pattern was created using real New York City craigslist ads. These comical yet scandalous craigslist listings are seen throughout the collection, which includes a reversible funnel neck, reversible zippered mini, leggings with ankle zippers, long sleeve raglan with striped pattern accent, and a dress with asymmetrical shoulders and adjustable length side drawstrings. The graphic and photo tees are also inspired by the depressed economy and include statements like "Ain't nothing going on but the rent," "Fucking Economy," and "New York City - Where else could I get away with this shit." The lookbook takes you inside the life of a modern day New York fashionista, who with no food or money to pay the rent, still manages to look fierce and live a fabulous life."

I also shot the artwork for the 2 photo tees, so I'd love to hear your feedback on the collection and the lookbook!

Everything should be available by the end of the week through Yours Truly online shop and in stores.
