This photo was taken on the white sand beaches of the Adriatic Sea in Silvi, Italy where the water is as blue as the sky.

I really enjoy this time of year, even though there are a lot of deadlines and long hours spent in design mode I look forward to the new sick designs that will be dropping very soon. Not forgetting the heat that this current season has brought us. For those of you that have been following the happenings around here the web press has been off the hook. I have been releasing a few photos here and there around the web just to give you all a taste.

Get ready.

So this past Friday everyone here at the OLIVER PEOPLES offices on Sunset Plaza hung up the keyboards and blackberrys for a more relaxing workday. The day was perfect clear sky’s and 82 degrees, so we all headed up the coast for the day to this ill beach house to catch some rays. There were many options for relaxation some opted for a massage, others just layed out by the pool and worked on that Cali tan, and other hung out at the open bar. I choose to work on the tan and enjoy the top shelf Tequila with soda and lime. I just want to say thanks to those who worked hard to put on this event for us it was greatly appreciated cant wait for the next one.

Was crusin this morning doing the usual online commute and these joints caught my eye on Evil Monito Magazine. The Italian Collection from C-Rec , which features clean lines, breathable mesh upper, subtle details and the highly sought after cupsole. Here are a few brands that you should familiarize your self that have similar aesthetics, Margiela, Raf Simons and Kris Van Assche. It is great to see a quality brand like C-Rec using superior craftsmanship and materials in their new Italian line. Cant wait for my pair.

No Thanks.

Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008

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.
