Nigerian Leather Goods Label Shem Paronelli Holiday 2012 Shoes

2012-01-23T22:32:00.000+01:00

The collection effortlessly resonates “luxury chic“; an essence not easily articulated in men’s footwear design. The “nightlife” theme comes through as the use of such rich and luxurious materials as patent,suede and nubuck was employed in pitch black,tan brown and coffee brown respectively. Such unique features of the collection includes sharp and decisive cuts, the intelligent fusion of the different materials such as suede and patent, black and brown patent, and the sparse use of gold detailing. Such details as hand-stitching, punching and the unique lace-hole style gave the collection that fine artisanal touch synonymous with the Shem Paronelli brand.

HURLEY TO DEBUT "FIN," A SHORT FILM AND CORRESPONDING T-SHIRT COLLECTION BY ICONIC WRITER, PRODUCER AND ARTIST C.R. STECYK III

2012-01-19T01:53:00.003+01:00

Hurley has announced that they will partner with iconic artist C.R. Stecyk III to debut his new short film FIN on February 8th at Hurley's H Space Gallery in Costa Mesa, CA. Taking inspiration from the film, Hurley is also creating a limited-edition printables collection featuring art and photography captured during the film's creation.

"Stecyk is both a celebrated chronicler of the art, surf and skate cultures as well as a longtime friend to the Hurley brand.  When he told us of his plans for the film, we couldn't pass up the opportunity to work together to bring his vision to life," states Jason Maloney, Hurley's Director of Art.

FIN, the first installment in an evolutionary series of digital film shorts, details Stecyk's method of working with a wide variety of personages in the southern California region and reflects the social and sonic landscapes in which these creators inhabit. People whose work has been documented so far include Von Dutch, Ed "Big Daddy" Roth,  Evel Knievel, Dave Sweet, Julian Ness, Tom Blake, Dale Velzy, Tyler Hatzikian, Scott Anderson, Mitch Abshere, Scotty Stopnick, Mike Ness, and Roland Sands.  The featured soundtrack is also a nod to West Coast visionaries, with Social Distortion, Breakdown, Tommy Guerrero and Steve Alba and the Powerflex 5 contributing to the project.

"FIN investigates artisan garage culture.  It will offer insights into an assortment of individuals who incorporate traditional do-it-yourself garage methodology into differing pursuits such as traditional modified vehicles, surfboards, skateboards, art, music and communications," states Stecyk.

The subsequent printables collection will feature a series of 4 t-shirts showcasing exclusive artwork and still photography captured during the making of FIN.  The printables collection will be available for purchase on Hurley.com in conjunction with the film's Costa Mesa debut on February 8th.  The film will then travel to Hurley's additional H Space galleries in Bali and Tokyo for international premieres.

The trailer for FIN can be viewed here.

METHOD X DENHAM -JOURNEYMAN: A Steamer Trunk for a Jeanmaker

2012-01-19T01:26:00.000+01:00

The respect between the design team at Denham and the team at Method was mutual from the onset. We rant on and on about "worshipping tradition while destroying convention" while Callum Robinson and Marisa Giannasi had been busy crafting their own design concept based on exactly the same creative ethos. Honestly we didn't contribute that much to the project beyond cheering Callum and Marisa on from the sidelines as they undertook some 300+ hours of pure craft creation to realize our combined vision. The result speaks for itself.
