David Andrew Sitek who is the guitarist slash multi-instrumentalist and producer for TV On The Radio has a side project called Maximum Balloon. Above the title track that just dropped called Tiger, catch our good friend Joy getting attacked by the tiger in the video. Also Dave is rocking the MOSLEY TRIBES Hillyard sun and optical frames in the vid, great look Dave.
This morning our good friend and LA local Joy Yoon came through with one of her friend Jaleel Bunton, the drummer of TV on the Radio. Jamie our PR director is seen conducting the fitting here in our showroom
The Goods.
Larry came through and help with the fitting, Jaleel was taken back by the clarity of the lenses. He was definitely feeling this style.
Settled on the Patterson in a classic tortoise, excellent choice.
Here is a small photo recap on this past Thursday and the preview of The Native Perspective short film. I just want to thank all the people that pulled together to make this film possible, our next stop will be film festivals wish us luck.
So it jumped off, the 722 showroom got packed out, our PR girl Cassie B. enjoyed the flick (dead center)
Good to see old friends come out and peep our flick.
One of our so.cal key accounts Primitive was profiled on hypebeast.com this past week and did interviews with P.Rod and the key players of this establishment.
Jay who is the VP of Primitive gave MT a shout out, you will catch him in the streets rocking the Hillyard’s all day. Jay’s quote “Sunglasses are a necessity for me when it’s bright out, and in L.A. that’s pretty often. Right now my favorite pair is the Hillyard from Mosley Tribes. The frame is a stately, yet simple modern design. I picked up a second pair and had my prescription lenses put in the frame for when I don’t feel like wearing my contact lenses. This has caused more than a few people to think I’m trying to look super cool indoors when I’m just trying to see what the hell is in front of me.” Peep the rest of the interview on hypebeast.
Kristin K. our east coast confidant let me know that the Becker was featured in Shopbop.com front page as part of there new nautical theme looks for this month. The Becker is definitely not a style to sleep on, this frame carries great detailing with sweat bar and paddle temple combo, definitely set apart from all the other aviator styles out there. Should be your go to staple frame. Pick yours up online @ shopbop.com
So we set our sights on Tokyo, Japan and we can now say that MOSLEY TRIBES has a presence there. Last week we had an exclusive showing of MT to all the right stores and magazines at our OLIVER PEOPLES location in Tokyo. Above you can see Larry choppin it up with the locals.
