This past week i had a minute to cruise to Downtown LA to see an old friend and check out the new mens line G.P.P.R.  Bam Barcena is the Designer and Founder of this line that reiterates masculine style, attention to detail and comfort.  Bam has a long history in fashion and it is great to see him come out with his own line that really reverberates his vision and style.  In the studio you can see his influences everywhere, what caught my eye was the 10 hole Doc Martin Steelies with the white laces, it is funny how the past has caught up with me.  I believe that both Bam and I grew up loving the Ska Punk scene (circa 90’s) of So. Cal. and the style that was present then emulates from the designs and colors of that era. Below is a great song from the past that will play along nicely with this post.

I have to say that this line is paired with great wovens, jackets, and denim that really give this collection a well rounded look.

Full Japanese Demin that was so soft and broken in, goodbye A.P.C / Love the paper canvas hang tag great detail.

Studio coffee table, inspiration all around, and semi-rimless is always a good look.

Its rough in the streets.

Here is a sneak peek at next season, the denim jacket is on fire. Peep Revolve Clothing for current collection and pick them up.

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.
