A few weeks ago I posted a couple photos from Valerie and Camilla Werner-Longo (via their fashion blog a butterfly by day ) – and I had to post a couple more. The photos are of Valerie’s son and his buddies at their local skate/hangout spot…I remember those kinds of days, skating and just generally messing about…they were fun! Anyhow, I really like the vibe of the photos, they look like they’re really having fun, so have a look and enjoy…can’t fake this kind of stuff, it’s legit. Thanks again Val!, love your blog.

New product feature: “Dartmouth”.
This one’s for all my BIG GREEN Brethren and is dedicated to Ivy League and fine vintage style fleece. It’s fabricated from real 3-end fleece from deadstock 90′s rolls and finished with vintage style “double V” at the neck (front & back). The colors are vintage cream with a tonal white print and ‘Dartmouth‘ green with white print. It also features a nice subtle “LV” embroidery in Levi’s gold at the left side…Get them before they are gone. OK, everybody has done their version of ‘UNI’, but what separates this one from the rest is not only the quality, (your hands know the difference) but the typography as well. “Beethoven” — nuff said.

Homage to Haring.
I was lucky enough (although didn’t know it at the time) to meet Keith Haring in 1984. I was a young B-Boy at the time and we (Justice Crew) were performing at the NYC Swatch Watch Festival along with several other crews. A friend from Hip-Hop Int’l introduced us to Keith and said “he’s the most interesting writer I know”. Since that day I’ve grown up and am a giant fan of his. Even though he seemed quite shy, he still felt like “one of us”. My personal love and history of being part of the B-Boy era as well as the MMA & Grappling world led me to this conclusion: why not honor Kieth with a true tongue and cheek concept. I’m the first one to speak against ‘biting’ or ‘knocking’ something off – But this is one of the few exceptions I’ll make. Somehow, I feel that if he were with us today he would get a kick out of this, if not already have done something to this effect, seeing how MMA and the UFC have penetrated pop-culture. “GABLE GRIP” is the first in the series – I have four or five more up my sleeve (wait til’ you see Rear Naked). Hope you enjoy them as much as I do. They’ll be on sale soon at the LUDWIG VAN shop, and 50% of all proceeds will be going to the RED HOT Organization to benefit AIDS research and treatment. – Peace.
Radd…
Had to post these photos…more stellar photos to come soon from Valerie at A Butterfly By Day. Stay tuned! – this is the lifestyle!
