SUPERbrand Surf

SUPERbrand Apparel

Our good friends at SUPERbrand are doing amazing and completely new things for surf culture. Founded in 2008, SUPERbrand stands out from the rest in their unique vision of merging skateboard culture and aesthetic to surfing. Come to think of it, there’s definitely a natural cohesion between the two. We’re so happy to be collaborating with Creative Director and friend, Tony Larson, who was in charge of designing SUPERbrand’s newest and freshest apparel line that is currently previewed on their website.

Pretty rad, right?

Also be on the lookout for future collaborations with Tony Larson and Poketo. We’ll keep this a secret for now, but, it’s part of a bigger project that will be huuuuuge!!

If you can’t afford the clothing sold at Opening Ceremony, you can at least appreciate a cute little nouvelle vague film they’ve made starring old time friends, Jason Schwartzman and Kirsten Dunst. I’ve always really liked Kirsten Dunst, mainly for her understated, cool, fashion sense, and was envious of her porcelain skin. But the chemistry between her and Jason Schwartzman was always enjoyable to watch as well.

This short film, which was set to air tomorrow at the newest store at the Ace Hotel in New York for the Spring 2010 line, is titled Non Plus One and was directed by yet another Coppola. This time, Gia, and Tracy Antonopoulos. Consider it a sneak peak! Or cover your eyes and listen to the laid back tunes of Schwartzman’s band, Coconut Records:

The readers of the blog will know how much we adore the singer song-writer, Neko Case. The coolest thing is that our love is mutual. Whenever we come out with new shirts, she’s one of the very first people to order them.

About 4 years ago, I remember getting repeated orders from someone named Neko Case. I thought…huh, could this be the same Neko Case? So I emailed her back, “Hi Neko, Thanks so much for your continued support. Just wondering, Is Neko Case your name, like the singer? You probably get that a lot…=)”

To my surprise, she emailed right back and said, “Hi Angie, the shirts I received were so great that I ordered the new ones. ( I’m wearing one right now!!! ) And yes, I get that a lot because I am one in the same. In fact the t-shirts are coming in so handy because I’m on tour and they are so soft and comfy ( I get loads of compliments, and pass on your info…..) and I need a bunch cause I never get to do laundry. So thanks to you folks for keeping me comfy AND sanitary on tour. take care and I’ll keep checking for your new designs”

How cool is that?

Last year, we went to her show at the Greek, and we almost fell when we saw her coming on stage in one of our shirts! Ted had to stop me from screaming.

Nowadays there are so many resources available to be green or eco-friendly, that we should have no excuse but to be more mindful of mother Earth. How wonderful is it that we can now even be eco-conscious in our attire with fashionable yet sensible apparel!

Ecouterre has beautiful styles created by designers who not only develop and create these wonderful pieces, but also have the environment and social effects in mind.
These would definitely catch the eyes of any fashionista, but at the same time, receive the respect from any green and eco-friendly friend.

Look familiar? You might have seen this hanging in your closet, and although you’d never expect to “wear” an umbrella, it sure makes a great fashion statement while recycling an item that may otherwise be difficult to reuse!

Another beautiful umbrella dress. How lovely!

Now we’ve all seen the hideous sterile hygienic masks used to fend off cold and flu viruses (especially for any fellow hypochondriacs out there), but why not protect yourself with style!

“Ecouterre is about changing people’s minds about what “fashion” design entails, beyond fleeting fads and mindless consumerism. Like any good product design, clothing production can be accomplished in a better, smarter, and more socially and environmentally sustainable way.”

Beautiful, sensible, stylish, and eco-friendly, what more could you ask for? Oh yeah, they also have Vegan styles!
