Frame Game....A step up..

Bring some life and personality to the classic Wayfarers, 36-year old artist Chris Mendoza will be working with Ray Ban for the limited-edition Sunglass Hut Art Series.

Available in black, red and white, only 100 of these will be available in each color and will retail for $250.

Play Cloths..Im Late Posting I Know...

We’ve heard plenty about the debut clothing line from the Virginia Beach duo, The Clipse, and now Play Cloths has finally debuted at select boutiques and retailers across the United States. The clothing line is based on the idea of creating high quality pieces of clothing that are adaptable to any lifestyle. In addition to Play Cloths hitting retailers in the US this weekend, the Play Cloths website was finally launched as well which includes a nice layout that requires users to download Flash if you don’t have it. In addition to the main site that showcases the line, various pieces of press, and an “About Us” section the website also has an online store that has released the online exclusive “80’s Jack” tee featuring an 80’s mosaic for the Jack logo background. You can pick up the Play Cloths line at select retailers now including Commonwealth or stop by their Online Store now.

Interesting Lookbooks...

In the last couple of weeks we have shown you lookbooks from The Hundreads, Crooks, and some others as well. The common theme I am seeing this year is ...do what isnt normal! And that is great news for the Cartel Living staff. We strive on being different at all times.

This Time...HOT MODELZ FROM KIKSTYO!!!
KIKS TYO moves away from the average lookbook or catalog to showcase some of their upcoming pieces from their Spring/Summer 2009 Collection, instead they chose to give all of us a look via a couple YouTube videos instead. While KIKS TYO made a name for themselves via the collaboration t-shirts featuring Aki Hoshino wearing various types of limited Nike’s and Jordan’s this upcoming season will feature a few new girls from the group Shanadoo, a Japanese Eurodance group. In addition to video footage of the photo shoot with the girls from Shannadoo we also see some of the graphics used for this upcoming season’s pieces, and it seems that KIKS TYO has not deviated from their key inspiration points of basketball, sneakers, and hip-hop culture.

Big Things to Come...

Making headlines after his appearance at the AMA’s, Kanye clears the air regarding specifics on the release of his highly anticipated clothing line, Pastelle. Both the jacket seen at the American Music Awards (which he designed less than 3 weeks ago) and the hoody spotted at the Dior show will see a release this coming January as well as a more subtle varsity piece seen here. After much speculation, the kicks he was wearing were officially Louis Vuitton sneakers and once again the Air Yeezy’s are confirmed to drop in March. Definitely another busy month for Kanye.
