Yep…our Fall sweatshirts are here as promised. I’m so amped at how nice they look! I swear, if you guys don’t get laid in these sweatshirts, something is wrong with you…just kidding, but you’ll definitely look good in these joints and maybe it should can lead to you getting laid. I just took some quick teaser shots of the sweatshirts for now…we’re going to be doing a photo shoot before I put up full shots and hopefully that’ll all be done this wknd. For now, enjoy these. I told ya’ll we were dropping heat!
The Cookies Mob (guys) in Brown…
Basquiat…These will sellout quick so grab one as soon as we list them. There’s a waiting list for about half of our shipment on these.
The Cookies Mob (girls) in Navy Blue….
Paper Planes (M.I.A)…
KITO Wanted….by the way, these come with a poster of the print on the t-shirt.
I’ve been slacking on our music posts…sorry folks, things have been pretty hectic here with all the things we have going on. However, I am going to make up for it with this post. As you know (if you’ve been following our blog), we like to listen to all types of music. For your enlightenment and enjoyment, it’s with great honor that I’m posting this track from the legendary Fela Kuti. I am going to do a full post on Fela sometime in the near future but in the meantime if you don’t know who he is, please go here right now! In not so many words, this man is the epitome of greatness. I don’t even want to start talking about him because I won’t know when to stop. Enjoy one of his many songs below.
Fela Kuti - Army Arrangement
By the way, his song titled Zombie was also used in the latest Grand Theft Auto video game - GTA IV. Here’s a link to check that out as well.
I’ve always been fascinated with symbols and how they’ve come to represent or stand for something in our minds. Of course, there’s no other place where this is more evident than in fashion. You can look at the 2 crossing C’s and know that’s Chanel, or see the check mark and know that’s Nike, or see the styled LV and know that’s Louis Vuitton or see the Adam Bomb and know that’s The Hundreds etc I can go on and on but pretty much what I’m trying to say is that the power of branding with symbols is an amazing thing, and that’s why companies spend millions promoting and protecting their brand symbols. I’ve been playing around with coming up with a symbol for us and I believe I have it…
straight from my sketchbook….
I wanted a symbol that represented the letters of the brand and also looked great by itself…the concept is 2 C’s joined together..so there’s one C above and another C beneath it, and they’re connected in a way that makes the whole symbol look like an “and” symbol…Cookies -n- Cream.
Here’s the final hand sketch…it came out pretty dope. Of course, it”ll look much cleaner once we bring to life on the computer. Expect a lot of quality products from us with this new symbol.
Even though we haven’t dropped our Fall ‘08 sweatshirts yet (should be ready this coming Friday), we’ve started work on the Spring ‘09 collection titled “Who Killed Streetwear?” which is a parody of the streetwear scene. It’s going to be a really dope collection and we’re probably going to get a lot of people offended, but that’s the best part of it. I figured I’d give you guys a sneak peek at the graphics of one of the pieces for the collection. This one is called Church of Hypebeast. If you don’t get it right now, don’t worry - I’ll explain when we’re ready to drop the Spring ‘09 collection. For now, look forward to the Fall sweatshirts dropping this Friday/Saturday!!!
We’ve got a lot of heat dropping starting with the Fall ‘08 sweatshirts…Things will never be the same.
