100 - A Video By Ibe

Here's another video our boy Ibe shot while I helped him move into his new apartment. In order of first appearance, it features: him, his girlfriend Capri, Me, and our boy Taurean. The awesome song blessing your ear drums is "Say Goodbye to Love" by Star Trak's very own Kenna.

Enjoy.

THE FITS

Ibe is rocking a Flight Club Brooklyn Bridge hat, a DURKL tee, a Ducksworth bracelet, Levi jeans, and Adidas sneakers. (Don't forget that you can get 20% off of DURKL with the "swaggerdap" code)

Capri is wearing a vintage hat from Fabulous Fanny's, a Top Shop shirt, American Apparel leggings, and vintage Charles David boots.

I'm sporting a Stussy hat (and Capri's vintage hat), an E5 Charlie tee, Uniqlo jeans, and Nike Trainer Dunks.

Taurean is decked out in an Obama Promo hat, a Converse tee, Abercrombie & Fitch jeans, and S. Carter sneakers.



FYI - Ibe is an underground music producer that works with dope artists like Mickey Factz, Jade, and Curtis Santiago; but he's also getting pretty good at shooting and editing videos. Be sure to check out his blog.

Adventures in DC: The Inauguration

As I said in an earlier post, we were bussed down to DC yesterday to witness one of the most epic days in US history, The Inauguration of the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama. We didn't exactly get to see the man or anything but it was a great day, and here are some pics.

Epic newspaper cover

This was the line just to get on the subway in Maryland! At 6am none the less! Took us like 2 and a half hours to get in to DC from about 10 minutes out. Every bridge and road into the city was closed.



Then you had these bad boys parked on every corner with army dudes posted up.

To stay out of the crazy cold and away from the other 2 million people in the area, we headed to our friends place at GWU.

After the speech we headed out to the masses. It was seriously nuts. Not a car on the street, just a mess of people.




Us and our friends Sarah and Constantina! Whattup!? (nice bubble jacket Meez)

Lastly we hit up Stussy DC to check out the aftermath of the party..... as you can see it was a little less packed.

We also came away with these bad boys.... more pics to come.


Overall the day was utter madness. People really came from everywhere just to be in DC for this event, and even if we didn't see the actually event the vibe in that city was good enough.

Quick thanks to Constantina, Sarah, Lucas from Stussy DC, our bus driver Fred, and Prez Obama for making this day possible.


Gotta have HOPE

Stussy DC x Commonwealth - Inauguration Tee

Stussy DC chapter and Commonwealth are collaborating for a very special Presidential Inauguration tee shirt.





The shirt hast the signature Stussy "S" with the Obama "O" and Commonwealth's "C" logo all in the spelling of HISTORIC. The shirt is being released right now at the release party in Stussy DC where Wale and Bun B are performing.

I have a feeling these are going to FLY off the shelves because of how monumental this moment is in history. Going to be a crazy day in DC tomorrow as the SwaggerDap team will be heading there for the festivities.

A Day in History

Runway to Change

So I've realized that we post a decent amount Obama content on this blog. We aren't trying to push political views or anything here, so don't take it wrong. It's just that this man is inspiring a lot of people to do a lot of really cool and creative stuff that no one has ever seen before from a political figure.

The new project from the Obama camp is Runway to Change, which brought together some of the top designers and artists in the world to make some tees and totes supporting Mr. Obama's cause.

Change by Jay-z


Obama Stands Out by Pharrell Williams


Vote Hope by Tory Burch


America Deserves Better by Russel Simmons


Obama Button Tote by Marc Jacobs


There is much more in the online store from the likes of Vera Wang, Juicy Couture, Beyonce, Rag and Bone, Isaac Mizrahi, and many more. Everything made in the US.

Oh and there's also a Yes We Can CD with Kanye, John Legend, Stevie Wonder, Maroon 5 and many more.

Well that's enough politics on SwaggerDap for the time being.

Stay up America.

No idea why people are making a big deal out of this but Obama knows what Dap is all about, and that's whats up.

Undrcrwn Online Exlusives

Undrcrwn has just released a set of four exlusive t-shirts to its online store.

The Obama Dunk Tee above .....

and Lil' Weezyana ...



(dusts off business school books) We have seen a few brands do this online exclusive method recently, possibly to increase brand awareness and online presence in the marketplace, or it could also be to cut down on distribution costs by taking out the third party vendor out of the picture.......or you know what, maybe they're just lazy, who knows?

see the other two designs and buy em all at their online store (which i already linked to above, what do you really want it twice?.....damn! fine, click here for em)
