Hellz Bellz proudly presents to you their new Spring Collection, “Obsessed with You,” a collection photographed by Brooke Nipar and modeled by Xian. Usually Spring season being bright and colorful, Lani sways away from color and focuses on the unique and simplistic details of each silhouette. This collection, according to the brand’s statement, reflects an obscure view of modern fashion and the obsession that it becomes.



“The Killa, in particular, is a cowl neck tunic given a hint of seductiveness through the use of a subtle zipper detail at the back of the dress. An exciting new take on the traditional blazer is Coat Tailz, which features a circle cut and a unique draped back.”























With this new and daring collection, Hellz continues to cross boundaries with a well thought-out design and carefully crafted details as well as demonstrating that fashion may be work to some and it may be a hobby for others, but for popular culture it will forever be an obsession.

I love how Hellz Bellz always sets themselves totally different from the crowd. Instead of making this seasons collection bright and fun, Hellz Bellz decided to take its own pathway and leave its collection to a minimalist feel to it. I’m still feelin’ it! The jean vest is absolutely amazing. Hellz Bellz never fails me!

For this season, Married to the Mob has dropped their Spring “Gramercy Gardens” collection.


This time around, Head Bitch, Leah McSweeney, decided to bring along her younger sister, Sweet 16 Sarah under the MOB spotlight bringing all of us double the trouble. This collection’s vibe is based on Grey Gardens, which is of heavy red velvet curtains, rich colors of royal blue and family love. According the brand’s statement, the collection draws forth visions of a confident woman who maintains a fine balance between life that’s both scandalous and refined.






“Of course you’ll find an array of our classically infamous t-shirts: a depiction of one of Leah’s favorite famed fashion icons Daphne Guinness, a candy-filled mouth, and sayings like “Girls That Do” are a few that made the cut. The line also has a great selection of flirty cut n’ sew pieces which incorporate lighter weight fabrics such as satin, mesh, and slub jersey. Breezy mini dresses, delicate short rompers, ruffled tops, and a light weight twill jacket are some of the key items in this delivery…” -Leah McSweeney



















This MOB collection brings out the classy with a bit of risqué and both play together quite well. I’m a romper lover and I definitely want to hop on the royal blue romper. This collection is perfect for spring, what are your thoughts?

10 Deep - Spring 2010 Preview Video

Wednesday
Mar 10,2010

Although a little late, 10 Deep is getting ready to launch their Spring 2010 line and lookbook. Here is a little preview video of the lookbook shoot…

Continuing to be Proud to be a Problem in 2010, our Spring collection is hitting stores this week and we wanted to give you a teaser from our lookbook shoot that took place. Originally intended for the bunkers of a top-secret, down low NYC public park, the forces of nature thwarted us (three times!) into taking things indoors, where we proceeded to let the flags fly.

The line drops March and April of 2010.“

These guys are just good at what they do.

Seems like Cudder is a big fan of releasing multiple music videos for the same song, and well, I’m a fan of that. Here we get look into a very different side of ‘Pursuit of Happiness’, as Kid Cudi goes for a more melodramatic and melancholy feel…

The original version was more of a solemn celebration that really captured the feel of the album being released, which I absolutely loved. However I do agree that this version captures the vibe of the song a little better.

Thoughts? Comments? Concerns?

So check out the first batch of their Spring Releases for 2010.

Futura 2000 - Artist Profile | Video

Wednesday
Mar 10,2010

Stumbled upon this great artist profile of Futura 2000, in which he goes pretty far back to his start as an NYC graffiti artist as a kid, and the general progression of his work and reach. Also talks of where his obsession with aliens came from, and how that developed into his famous point men characters. Then wraps up with a solid few minutes discussing his addiction to gaming…

I feel like a broken record for just saying this about the Ambush interview, but it is just always great to get into the minds and humble origins of these legendary artists and creators.

If you are somehow unfamiliar with Futura 2000, he started as a NYC graffiti artist but has grown to be one of the most respected in his field, having done multiple works for the likes of Nike, Bape, his own apparel label (Futura Laboratories), music artwork for UNKLE and The Clash, and tons more.

BONUS: Video of Futura’s functional “District 9″ inspired weaponry made entirely of Legos

I learned one of the most important lessons from this book. I read Chasing Cool about a month ago as it was recommended by my friend Yvonne of HeyDoYou. As I started reading I begin to think it was a composition of articles throwing out catch phases and cliches about going within to find yourself and not copying or looking at others.

It talked about avoiding trend reports. What a foolish thing I thought, how can you design relevant pieces that people will buy if it’s not on the mark or what is hot.

The more I read into the book I realize the whole book was that one theme. But something change, it was me. I started to fully understand what it means to be yourself and not care about others. I knew what it meant to be authentic, true to your brand, your vision, and who you are as a brand.

That have been an important lesson, at the end I knew who I was, what JUZD Streetwear stands for, what I have to do create and not follow. It’s a simple lesson “be authentic”, two words but for me to understand the meaning behind the two words I had to read 227 pages and it was worth it.

What we have been doing was looking at the trends and fashion reports and works of other designer. However it felt very strange, incongruent. The first JUZD collection came out and it was very well received. Even to this point people are still ordering it. Yet when we did the first collection I didn’t know anything about fashion, about trends, about reports or the shirt industry, I did it because that’s what I thought was good art.

As I am working hard on the current collection no longer do I care what others are doing or what is doing well in the stores. JUZD is not in the business of copying others or even following paths of other lines, we are in the business of creating our brand, our own direction, and our own style. It’s even better if our line doesn’t look like what’s hot out there. It means we are original, and when you create good art, those people who appreciate it will buy it.
