0 comments Published by Solemates...Chicago on Wednesday, May 6, 2009 at 3:37 PMi know you've heard me say over and over that Autumn and I are cooking up something special. well, the first part of the stew is almost complete. we've been blessed with our design team that has taken almost a year to put together but i must say everyone is on point especially our graphic designer/all-around fashion consultant lauren from our favorite brand. luckily she's coming our way to join the SMC team. take a look at our new house label SIR AND MADAME, a men and women's lifestyle collection. if you know autumn and I then you know it's gonna be a classic line with our personal twist. we will keep you posted on the release dates, make sure you stay posted!!!

here goes a few flicks that i snatched from the BKc guys. the event at diety bar and lounge was great...dj kohey, spinna, and frei did their thing on the wheels while the fuzz band played live music. everyone was dressed to impress, everyone also brought out their own flavor which was extra dope...

autumn made me do it.......
0 comments Published by Najee Obama on Monday, April 27, 2009 at 7:00 PMafter autumn's post it was only right that I post one of my absolute favorite movies. from the storyline (matt damon was an EXTRA creep in this one) all the way to the setting in some of the most idyllic locations of italy. if you haven't already, you need to watch this movie. oh, and an appearance from phillip seymour hoffman didn't do any damage either.


this is another film i can watch endlessly for the storyline, wardrobe and set design. cary grant and audrey hepburn in charade. check it out, i wouldn't steer you wrong.

3sixteen is a brand that has grown from doing traditional streetwear to a clean cut line with more cut and sew peices. all of the product was made right in the good old USA. we recently picked them up for fall 09. here is a video that brian from 3sixteen sent over...the line is super clean with a little inspiration from one of our favorite stores in SF...
