Lazy Mondays

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

Mondays are always a little hectic around the office. From the creative team grinding away at the designs to the marketing team getting to the piled up e-mails from the past weekend, everyone can always afford to take a five-minute breather to catch their breath. We thought it would be fitting to hop on Youtube and pull a few chill songs from the 90’s considering that it’s been a huge inspiration for our collections. Shut your eyes, grab your drink of choice (we suggest a 40 for the mood if you’re of age,) and just kick it to these beats.

Souls of Mischief- 93 ‘till Infinity

Nas- Take it in Blood

Lil’ Troy- Wanna be a Balla

Pete Rock & CL Smooth- Carmel City

A Tribe Called Quest- The Hop

Black Star- Thieves in the Night

Funkdoobiest- Rock On

Andrew Sebastian

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

Tonight would be the night for one of the most artistic pillow fights in history. That’s what could have happen, but it was the debut of the Andrew Sebastian Collection at e3rd Lounge which can also be the first art pillow event that I have attended. The collection features many artists that I’m sure many of you are familiar with for example Evil Monito and Foreign Family. If anyone missed the show you can also see the pillows here.

My favorite pillow was the simple and clean “pillow talk”

Check out this sneak peak video for the collaboration between Triumvir X Shadaloo. Video was well shot and put together by our friends Third Estate Media. The videio reminds me of the Batman movie intros when you see Bruce wayne getting ready.

We have some new and old stock in various sizes.

Also, if any of you are familiar with Triumvir’s archives, you’re not gonna want to miss out on these limited throwbacks!

And since you’re going to be in the area already you might as well stop by our friendly neighborhood shop Intro, it’s right around the corner

5 minutes of Free Time

Friday, November 20th, 2009

So between assisting with Triumvir, designing cakedout, and a little dash of side jobs, what happens when you get 5 minutes of free time? Well, just like I did for every class I’ve ever taken in my life, I doodle. Yesterday I was looking over Triumvir’s autumn/winter line and really took a look at the Madonna tee from the Triumvir Autumn line - Bind Faith. So when I picked up a random insert from one of brian’s old Smart magazines, I got started.

Burning the Midnight Oil

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

Today was a long and eventful work day. The thing that people don’t expect to hear when you work in the fashion/streetwear industry is that you’re still working while others are eating dinner. It’s not your typical 9-5, but ranges more on what needs to get done and by when. I stayed a little bit later to learn more on the product shot aspect from Brian (Triumvir) and Lerche (Triumvir). We all didn’t get back at the normal work time as you can see pictured below, but the main difference when we’re bouncing back and forth from our duties for Triumvir/Cakedout is that we have passion for it. I’m not constantly staring at the clock to see when I can get out, but more on what I can finish compared to my old jobs when I’m waiting for that big hand to hit twelve so I can get the hell out of there.

Good morning, and in case I don’t see ya, good afternoon, good evening, and good night.

Triumvir x O.C.G.S. at the Crosby, Santa Ana

Sunday, October 25th, 2009

Haven’t seen my triumvir / cakedout coworkers anywhere except in the office for a while. Finally got to cheer some beers and kick back with the crew

Sangria specials? For the win.

You had to get there early to get one of these. I know I didn’t.

Vincent and Lerche…. Always trying, never succeeding.

Triumvir/OCGS family.

Tachi and Gordon(LRG) on the ones and twos.

…and last but not least, had to put my drunk room mate on blast:

Thanks for coming out!

A Night at Detroit

Monday, July 27th, 2009

Last Thursday night we stopped by the Agenda/ Hellz Bellz after party. It was hot and really hard to move around. Besides the typical girl to guy ratio at a bar there, were some interesting creepos.

First creepo appeared as I was trying to take pictures of the crowd. Check out the eyes of determination to be in the picture.

Second creepo appeared next to the lovely ladies of the night, Julia (triumvir) and Mink (Hellz Bellz).

And to top if off I was able to snap a pic of Jesus. I guess the holy one needs a night to relax. The man next to him saw the light and was blinded.

Thanks to Hellz Bellz and 80s purple for a great night.

A Triumvir Morning

Tuesday, July 7th, 2009

This morning I came into the office and Brian had a surprise for us guys that wear size medium. He was giving away some classic triumvir designs that I missed out on.

When these came out, I was a broke college kid who couldn’t afford to go shopping. Now I’m a broke working man that still can’t afford anything, but now I work here and every now and then I come-up on some free clothes. That’s how you start the morning!
