Ali Ve Originals (pronounced ah-lee-vay) uses unique graphics and original catchphrases to deliver messages. We are inspired by the balance of life and portray such through our creative outlets.

From the owner, S. Ali Myers:

The name Ali Ve can be flipped many ways. As someone who believes that Muhammad Ali was and is the greatest athlete of all time and a man of HIS own convictions (coincidentally my grandmother gave me his last name as my middle name!) I feel like that name represents “no protocol” and doing what you feel like is right and exact while being the greatest in your field. Add the letters, Ve, and it makes Alive and to me, doing what you want to do no matter what someone else thinks is being ALIVE. Also, Ali Ve has a lot of me in it – my beliefs and philosophies. But Ali Ve, in the literal sense, means being alive doing what you feel is best while also making a statement.

The vision for Ali Ve Originals is that the brand is respected by my peers, consumers and clientele. I feel like you don’t have to like something or someone but respect is earned and goes a long way in this life. A lot of people believe Money, Power and Respect will make you happy in this world. I believe Money and Power could not stand alone without Respect. There’s always going to be people in this world that love you when your on top or befriend you when you have a bunch of money – But without mutual respect no connection can be eternal. As long as the brand is genuinely respected, Ali Ve Originals will always be alive!

WE DO NOT:
-Follow protocols
-Follow followers
-Comply to Uniformity

Established 2008,originating from Birmingham city, the United Kingdom FRESH 2 DEF CLOTHING (F2D) is brand influenced by our city, surroundings, and music we listen to. Our culture and way of life is our brand translated into raw material.

F2D is for those who wanna look fresh and original and for those who want street fashion with a catwalk edge.

KEEP IT REAL….

F2D TEAM

F2D is owned and run by 3 ambitious guys from Birmingham city, UK. Each bringing something to the table to keep F2D fresh and innovative.

Our original f2d clothing logo was designed by PHOBIA, an artist/designer from Birmingham who we will be collaberating with on a regular basis each season.

We will also be working with artists/designers from around the UK and abroad in the future so keep your eyes clean for when we do.

Our team is united in our goal… To create a fashion brand that crossses genres and cultures bringing our generation together.

A79 is excited to announce our official brand launch. With an emphasis on simple and bold designs, A79 strives to become a mainstay in the wardrobe of the fashionably conscious.

A79…a derivative of the periodic symbol for gold-Au79, began as a small startup brand catering to the action sports crowd in Western Europe. A79 is now a collaboration of like-minded creativeʼs in the US and Japan, based out of Venice California. Our ethos is simple: good designs, good living.

“Design with simplicity. This is our philosophy…blend simple, clean graphics with organic, handdrawn shapes. Bright, striking colors juxtaposed with earth tones. Take a design and reduce it down to the concept and then build on it. A good design must be supported by a strong foundation.”

Beyond the special occasions and main events, there is an everyday part of life. We work, we play, and then we work some more. The use of the idea of gold-A79, is to reflect the value of this. A79 celebrates everyday living with a style, design, and quality that expresses a life lived well.

Announced a long time and ready at the end of october.

The first collection was delayed, because we have searched for the best quality for the collection and want to offer you a wide product portfolio with much love to details. From now on it will be just a few weeks to the release.

Everything will be strictly limited and if a product is sold out, it is SOLD OUT.

Until the lookbook is ready, you can get every week three teaser’s to get your first impressions of the upcoming collection.

The new site http://www.champate.net is online now.

On the site you will find in the “contact”-category many opportunities to get information about everything. You can find a group on Facebook and on StudiVZ (in german), a page on Myspace as well as on several blogs. You are signed the newsletter, so you get information about some “1of1”-products or “1of1”-variations first and you have the chance to buy them directly.

As a special highlight we have a presale for all who have signed the newsletter and the groups on Facebook and StudiVZ, that means you get the opportunity to buy everything of the first collection two days earlier before the shop will be open to the public. It is really a great chance, against the background that everything is strictly limited. So take your chance to be the first. We hope you like everything and all feedbacks are welcome.

You know that you’re pressing all the right fashion buttons when your label’s first collection immediately sells out and a second is stocked by established New Zealand designer WORLD.

Such is the case for new Kiwi clothing label Crowded Elevator, who despite being only a years old is a huge hit in the land of the long white cloud and about to break into the Australian market.

Such rapid growth shows that we are filling a gap in the market for high quality locally-made product with international flair, says Company Director Carl Thompson.

Launched in June 2007, the label’s sold out inaugural summer collection featured 11 eclectic internationally styled tees for men with catchy slogans in retro fonts and kitsch animal graphics in neon bright colours.

We did a lot of research internationally and focussed on emerging trends from Sydney, New York and London to come up with a range of cutting edge nu-rave streetwear, says Thompson.

A lot of people do prints on tees, but I like to think Crowded Elevator clothing is more than just printed tees ­ it¹s artwork that is designed to be worn.

November 2007 saw the release of the limited edition Creative Collection Vol1, Kiwi-influenced prints designed by some of New Zealand’s hottest artists and sold through the country’s leading fashion stores.

The Creative Collection allowed us to showcase some of the country¹s hidden talent, says Thompson. We can’t wait to make it an annual event, and that’s likely with the invaluable support WORLD provided right from the start.

For winter 08 the label expanded into hoodies and a selection of women’s tees - but with the rate the label is growing, dedicated followers of fashion should get on this ride at the ground floor.

In 2007 Alias Society was was created in my California Barbershop.Day in and day out I found that many people were riddled with nonsensical styles, the same tired out crap.

So I joined forces with 3 customers of mine The Graff Writer, The Graphic designer, and The Color king thus ART.LIFE.IMAGE.AND.STYLE=ALIAS.

We are a limited tee and sweater company with both men and womens lines ,we are like no other, all designs,printing, and distributing are all done within our crew.

Our mission is simple to keep real art and streetwear alive 100% creative at all costs,never selling out to the mainstream. Alias Society tees and sweaters come with a matching bandana and shipped in its own test tube to lock in freshness, Alias Society is here to stay we are every where (What’s your Alias)?

Jiberish has stayed exclusive to the principal of building an organic entity. What gives our solid foundation is that our deepest roots reach out to our athletes and artists. We give our trust and our confidence to their visions.

As we grow so do our retail relationships which include both boutiques and online distributors who value the same aesthetic ideals and creative outlook that we do. We represent no specific group, cater to no limited demographic, disregard all association with any pompous factions and bring high quality clothing to anyone who shows interest in capitalizing on the day to day opportunity wearing art in place, of what would otherwise be, insipid garb.

Three years in development, patter creation, marking, and trimming has allowed a cut and sew fit that matches our ideas about how comfortable and functional fabric wares should be constructed. We fuse the fruitful offerings of our production staff with the hard work of a constantly evolving network of graphic designers to produce a piece of wearable artwork that will not only deflect the elements but inspire retinal stimulation for countless fortunate rural, suburban, and urban passerbys.

Urban Tailor offers custom hoodies, custom track jackets and more. If they talk about custom made it actually is unlike many other companies who claim to do custom made clothing. On the website you can select the fabrics you want to use for different parts of your hoodie, the details such as pockets and individual sizing.

So if you ever wanted a slimmer hoodie that is longer than what your can get in the store Urban Tailor is for you. It is also for all those who know what they want and have their own distinctive style instead of wearing uniform fashion.

They produce and ship within 4 weeks worldwide. Looks like a good deal. Go ahead and check it out.

My grandfather, Fred Hardaway was one of the first black horologists in the US, so I’ve always had an affinity for watches. Shortly after my graduation from Pratt Institute, where I majored in industrial design, I came up with the concept of the company, Steel Cake. It is not only a representation of my creative vision but also very much a homage to my late grandfather. Design is my passion, so when I create I am trying to make a statement that is discernible from the everyday accessory.

My generation wants to be able to express itself from head to toe, and for sometime, we have done so using teeshirts, jeans, and sneakers. But, what about timepieces? The watch industry has always been dominated by a much older generation. Since there wasn’t a prominent voice in the watch industry for my generation, many young people turned to cell phones to tell time.

My dream is to be the creative voice for young people in the watch industry and as one of the only young watch company owners/ designers it is my mission to bring a fresh image to watches. Steel Cake, as a brand, is a statement of quality combined with fashion forward flavor.
