For those of you that have been following the MOSLEY TRIBES x CROOKS & CASTLES Castellano Colab there has been a lot of heat coming from our man Jay. He has been seen in the streets wearing the Castellano for the last 2 months strong and the Glastonbury performance was epic. This morning i get to the office and our PR Director Jamie brings Womens Wear Daily to my desk and to show me this ad. For one second I feel that we cannot surpass this type of free press and then i notice rocawear eyewear at the bottom and now i get it. With a closer look you can tell that someone who took one community college photoshop class erased part of the right temple detail and dropped in the rocawear eyewear logo. This is a blatant hijack of our creation to sell it to the masses, wow. I did some research on the company that is knocking off the Castellano and called them on the phone to blast them, they stated that this was their sole creation. Just to set the record straight we released the Castellano at Magic 07 last year. Feel free to call them and let them know that they have great and innovative ideas, the number is 1.866.465.2656.

Since we are on the topic of MOSLEY TRIBES products getting knocked off her is one that will make you laugh.

The Mossimo branded frame on the top was recently purchased at Target by a concerned party for $16.99, less then a month ago. On the bottom you have the MOSLEY TRIBES Navigator that was release Resort Spring 06 and was one of the flagship polarized aviators that was $ 200.00 retail. This frame was the perfect combination of style, performance and comfort. The best part is that when they knock off our sunglass they kept the metal temple detail of the raised MT logo. I guess you know you are doing something right when a huge multi billion dollar retail corporation takes your idea and makes money off of it. Target Legal has been notified and will pulling them from their stores, and ill be waiting for my check.
