Bespoken

As people who know me know, I love suits. Well tailored suits. James Bond-looking suits. So its only natural that this enthusiasm gets translated into my designs. Although my sketches may not be the neatest I assure you the end result will be so refined…. Jheez. Compared to off-the-peg, its like VHS to Blu-Ray, well that’s what I aim for anyway.

This week I’ve envisioned a menswear collection. Style: Tailored Formal vs Casual Urban. Demographic: myself! 

Where am I going with this? I think its time for me to hang up the New Era cap, fold the exclusive Tees and box the custom kicks (well maybe not the kicks). Its just a recent change in preference, which coincidentally, I feel with benefit me in the long run. Its time to represent my work; and to be taken seriously by others I myself must first take myself seriously. 


I’m quite excited about what I’ve come up with so far, so much so that I’ve decided to organize a photoshoot just for this. Check back for the pics yall, but AFTER the converse tribute!



Today I feel quite dense, I hope this post makes sense!

Walking the Hardest

2008 was the centennial year for Converse. Brands rise and fall, fads come and go, and surviving a century is defiantly an achievement not to be taken lightly.


August 1st saw the release of this leather jacket inspired Chuck Taylor, celebrating their 100th anniversary. Almost a year on, these kicks are STILL the most elusive trainers I have ever searched for. No one I know has even heard of them, let alone seen them. 

On August 1st 09, I will be purchasing fresh Chucks to customize in tribute of the limited .ed leather ones I just couldn’t get my hands on. I plan to take the gold prototypes I made last year even further, ‘nuff said. (all photos but one were lost in a digital fire…)



Check back for pix if you wanna get your fix!

I have a few entrys in blogs scattered all over the net, but this is going to be my full time blog I’m committing to, so if you read any others shame on you, read this one! I don’t usually make commitments but I’m going to officially commit to this blog, update it on the regular like the reception on a cellular… haha

Watch this place like a meteor outta space!
