THE.TREESON: ANGELS

THANK YOU.



I was going through some personal shit last night.

To relax I went for a walk by myself down Queen West. Aimlessly, I somehow found myself at graf store, The Bomb Shelter.

There I meet Zion, he turns to me and tells me a story about hidden angels. How they come in all shapes, forms, and personalities.

The next morning I wake up to find the answer to what was bothering me.

Thanks Zion.... Hidden Angels do exist.

GOODS: CREATE.BUILD.DESTROY WINTER '08 LOOKBOOK

OH. SHIT!
YOU'RE NOT
FROM NEW
YORK, EITHER?

The good people at CBD recently sent over their winter '08 collection and I sincerely want to take a moment to congratulate them for probably what I would consider their strongest collection to date.

From the tees to the crew necks, the folk inspired artwork is unique and radiates a very eerie but intriguing aura. The collection is mysterious, thought provoking, and I can't help to think why...how come?

The well executed look book is also responsible for these very real emotions. The monochrome photography and the multi-layer poem draw me in further.

Leaving me very interested and "In Search of Greener Pastures".....

















Thanks to Alex from CBD, the future is now... we believe.

GOOD READS:" A BATHING APE"

WWWHHAATT!?!? BIGGIE... IN BAPE?? WHO KNEW...

Rock him, diss him, either way I can care less. WHY? Because its undeniable that our man Nigo has weathered all doubts to create an empire that stands in its own category and transcends beyond the fashion world.... I only have respect for this man.

Truth be told I love to collect books; art books, architecture books, photography books, comic books, porno books(word) - anything, I'm down son. Not much satisfies me more than turning a page of the perfect book, absorbing and appreciating every element. Hopefully I will be doing that soon with "A Bathing Ape".

"Recently releasing his retrospective book, A Bathing Ape founder, Nigo relives the past 15 years of his company’s history. We take a journey back to the time when the label was rocked by Biggie and his first tee production in 1993 to its late 90’s boom. The book holds a unique tribute to street wear, educating the reader about a history clearly better read than heard and a look into what has become of the small entity turned Japanese empire. Holding a mass influence in fashion around the globe, this Bape piece is definitely a must have for any fan or fashion enthusiast." - Luis Ruano from Hypebeast
