KAPPA KONTROLL SS19 COLLECTION

After launching its first women’s collection last season, iconic Italian heritage brand, Kappa Kontroll, has mined its extensive archive for an SS19 collection that seeks to “redefine the festishisation of sportwear.” The spring/summer range recontextualizes the label’s past pieces and experiences, to take it in a somewhat different direction inspired by the likes of the British “scally” (a roguish, self-assured young person in Northern English parlance).

BIGGIE'S SON INTRODUCES T-SHIRT AS AN ODE

Yesterday it was exactly 22 years ago that Biggie Smalls was killed in LA. As an ode to his death day his son made a t-shirt with a picture of the place where he was killed. He never understood why there wasn't a monument of his dad on the place where he was killed so he made this t-shirt. Picture below.   Dit bericht bekijken op Instagram On March 9, 1997, my father Christopher George Latore Wallace was taken from the world on Fairfax Avenue and Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles right in front of the Petersen Auto Museum. Growing up in LA, I have watched that corner change over the years, and have wondered why there wasn’t a memorial for him at that location. As a way to honor his life and legacy, we created this limited-edition T-shirt. This will serve as a memorial until we can build something to honor his life, music, and the creativity he gave to the world. Thank You All❤️ #ThinkBig @comethinkbig LINK IN BIO Een bericht gedeeld door a Fly on the Wall (@cjordanwallace) op 8 Mrt 2019 om 9:38 (PST)

5 VESTS THAT ARE FUNCTIONAL AND FASHIONABLE

1. Junya Watanabe Oxford Check Vest Junya Watanabe Oxford Check vest $1275 USD A crass-meets-class utility piece that blends the two sides of the vest game into one wild statement. Need to bring a few camera lenses to a party? Pockets. Fly fishing at 6, but a dog show at 7? Oxford check. While most short jackets claim “versatility,” there are few that do it with such flair.   2. Seventeenthebrand Thug Life Vest Seventeenthebrand Thug Life Vest €89,95 If you're a Tupac fan, this vest might be the best for you! This black vest is easy to wear with a lot of pockets and light grey embroidery. If you are planning to attend a lot of festivals this year, this key piece is a must! PS: Seventeenthebrand is dropping a new collection soon!    3. C2H4 Reversible User Interface C2H4 Reversible User Interface Cords Down Vest $ 294 the Reversible User Interface is an overtly-adjustable down vest overloaded with cord pulls. From the arm holes to the pocket flaps, nearly every part can be modified for fit. And yes, as the name implies, even the color of the vest can be changed. On one side is tonal grey nylon; on the other, an electrifying red-blue circuit print.   4. Nike AAE 2.0 Vest   NikeLab AAE 2.0 Vest Rust Pink $209 One year ago, Nike introduced us to a line of radical sportswear called AAE. Short for “Advanced Apparel Exploration,” the first AAE collection (known as “1.0”) debuted with such innovations as The Short Sleeve Top, a shirt made from a single strand of thread. Now, in this season’s AAE 2.0, the Swoosh’s Skunk Works return. And they’ve brought a pink vest.  5. NemeN Guard Vest NMN Guard Vest Jacket Olive € 327,05 Most know Stone Island. Some know C.P. But NemeN? In the world of tech sportswear, the Milan-based workshop is almost a best-kept secret. Founded in 2012 by Leonardo Fasolo and Fabio Cavina, NemeN continues the legacy of the late Massimo Osti (Stone Island’s founder) by placing fabric innovation at the core of the brand.

ASAP ROCKY NOT A SNOB AT ALL

When it comes to brands, A$AP Rocky can never be accused of snobbery. Sure, the rapper doesn’t hide his penchant for luxury designers — like, in any way at all— yet despite his status as a global fashion icon, he’s just as likely to step out in a name that can be copped at the mall. Put simply, if an item is dope, Rocky will wear it. Like his favorite dickies pants which he is wearing on the post below, costs less than $ 40. Fashion does not always have to be expensive. Maybe he will be wearing SEVENTEENTHEBRAND soon...   Dit bericht bekijken op Instagram ALL 😁’$ Een bericht gedeeld door PRETTY FLACKO (@asaprocky) op 10 Mrt 2019 om 12:37 (PDT)
