Fresh, Fly & Flashy Exclusive: ThOuSanDaiReZ Interview

2012-01-19T21:49:00.000-05:00

Recently I had the pleasure of interviewing my friend and part owner of Brooklyn'n hottest new clothing line, ThOuSanDaiReZ. Steadily on the rise, ThOuSanDaiReZ is more than just a brand name it is a lifestlye. CEO's Rell, Rolo and Sha are the brains/talent behind the line and in a few short months they have made their dreams come into fruition with hard work, creativity and a hunger for success. Check out the interview and the line after the jump!

1. What made you decide to start your own clothing line?
It all started when we wanted to have smooth threads to match our style. We actually came to a point where we were tired of cashing out hundreds of dollars on expensive designer labels. So we decided to take that money and invest into our own but still mix it in with other high end brands to complete our look.

2. At what point did you feel your dream truly manifest with your clothing?

When we saw someone we didn't know wearing our line.

3. How did you come up with your brand name?

The name ThOuSanDaiReZ.... that name actually came from 3 brothers struggling to make it out here in this world. The name came from blood, sweat, dedication and hard work. The name is reality. you have to be a thousandaire before you become anything else. any one can be a thousandaire, whether you work a 9-5 or hustle. If you ever had a bill that was a thousand dollars, earn a pay check that was a thousand, purchased apparel that was a thousand, save up to a thousand....you are a thousandaire... its more than just a brand name, its more like a lifestyle.

4. What have you all learned from being your own boss'?

We learned that with being your own boss the sky is not the limit, there are more opportunities present when you work for yourself. No salary cap. Success is your choice. Creativity expresses your voice. We also learned "humble hands don't get the first plate, but the best plate"...

5. Who are the essential people on your team?
3 minds are better than one...Thousandairez..3 ceos... rell, sha, and rolo... 3 brothers with the hunger for success. We can't forget all the ThOuSanDaiReZ supporters, with out them there's no us.

6. How involved are you in the design and production process?

We are all in the mix of designing. We also obtain help from Inkwell Customs, Sahle Jack and close loved ones to carry out some of our ideas...

7. What is your favorite piece thus far?
All of our items are our favorite, but the black Thousandairez signature hoody was our turning point, opened a new door of trendy menswear...

8. Where do you see your line 10 years from now?
We on being worldwide, to be the voice of the streets. We want to be in evey closet around the world.

9. What upcoming designers are you watching? Who do you feel is your competition?
Well we look up to Bape, BBC, Supreme, 10 Deep, the list goes on, but those are the main designers that inspire us to keep grinding, working hard and reaching for the stars. We actually are not here for competition. We just want people to enjoy what we love to do, which is getting ThOuSanDaiReZ on them.

10. So, Where can people buy your pieces?
We are located at Fashion Library 4918 Snyder Ave Brooklyn Ny 11203 & Frsh Concepts 145 Front street Brooklyn, NY 11201, online boutique coming soon courtesy of Vocab Magazine. Follow us on twitter @ThOuSanDaiRez, Check us out on Facebook, check us out on Instagram: ThOuSanDaiReZ, Follow us on Tumblr.

11. Being from Brooklyn and seeing the trends we set here, (in your opinion) what do you feel we have to offer to today's fashion industry?

We offer style, exclusivity, creativity, and the desire to express our style to best of our ability. Destined to be great.

12. Who is your inspiration and what keeps you motivated?

We motivate each other, Jay-Z said it all in this one line "nobody will fall because everyone will be each others crutches." The haters that pray on our downfall motivates us to keep being positive and grind hard. In thousandairez we trust. Success is a must!

13. Lastly, what does fashion mean to you?

Fashion means being unique. Fashion means being different. Fashion means putting anything together and making it look smooth. Fashion is a work of art. Fashion is what you make of it... your life... your choice... live out your dreams.

After being signed to Rick Ross's Maybach Music label, being named "Most Street" and one of the top Freshman of 2011 by XXL and having his single "Ima Boss" become a club anthem, it's safe to say 2011 was a big year for the Philly-raised rapper.We caught up with Meek at the studio of classic hip-hop photographer Jonathan Mannion to shoot the cover for Meek's upcoming remix of "Ima Boss" (featuring Lil' Wayne) and learned a little more about his history, his last year and how he keeps Philly close to his chest.

"Break it Down" by NeediCare

2011-12-05T16:24:00.001-05:00

Clever, refreshing and thought provoking is the way I would describe the young Brooklyn bred rapper by the name of NiC, an acronym for "Need I Care" . The song and the video logical mirror each other in a very savvy way, they both embody a soulful vibe that is missing in Hip Hop today. The song is literally "a success story in reverse", NiC reaches a level of success in the first verse and by the third verse he takes us back to the present day hunger that he has to make it as an artist. We see this represented in the video with two females. The first whom is late for their meeting represents "success" and the second who is seen the studio with NiC represents his "love" for music. Watch and see how NiC pushes one away two gain the other with a great twist at the end!

Make sure to check out NiC's youtube channel "Need I Care" with more great songs! And follow him on Twitter @NeediCare

Stlye Spotlight: Duck and Cover 2011 Autumn/Winter Collection

2011-10-27T10:01:00.000-04:00

"A/W11 is split into two halves. Firstly, looking to the docks for inspiration referencing nautical work wear. The color palette ranges from chilling blue hues through to winter desert shades, accented with bright pops of color. Smart, multifunctioning pockets, cocoon hoods and heavy profile stitching detail the collection. Collection highlights include pique fleeces, gilets and rib-cuffed denims. Deep funnel neck shapes, some of which zip into hoods and graphical interpretations of fairisle patterns are also key new developments.

The second half of the collection fuses military style with traditional streetwear, using insulative fabrics such as washed corduroy, shearling lining, compact melton wool and bonded fleece. Urban neo-black and greys mixed with a military base in khaki, dessert green and reds pepper the collection. Shirt jackets remain essential to the brand, a key style high- lighted in denim chambray, hooded fleece and lined in shearling.

The well-constructed core collection comprises of the ‘oxford’ shirt and uniquely detailed polo tops. Updated crew and half funnel necks in rib and sweatshirt and 12gg knitwear, 5gg detailed knitwear-jackets, and a strong collection of shearling-trimmed outerwear make up the heavier pieces. Wash treatments and rough finishes are instrumental to the character of this collection, which is both modern and authentic."

Style Spotlight: Superdry Clothing

2011-10-06T12:00:00.000-04:00

Along with some other key fashions this season, the trench coat is going to be big. When the cold and wet sets in, everyone's mind turns to staying warm and dry and the trench coat is an ideal way to accomplish that, whilst still looking great.

In keeping with the big trends of summer, geek chic and preppy, some trenches look funky and fun for those casual days, but the look can be adapted for work with a longer belted style when you want something a little more formal.

A variety of materials are available for these Mens Coats, from wool to leather and from printed to plain, so there will be something to suit every age, every taste and, more importantly, every budget. Shop around at stores and make sure you get the best deal possible, and if you simply can't face the weather, have a look online. Many sites offer free delivery and/or returns, make sure you check these policies for another possible way to save.

Key trends for trench coat colors this year are simple and understated. There are patterned prints available too, but even these are muted and classy, just asking for a bit of color to be added with accessories.

Stick to greys, dark blues and blacks and liven them up with a funky scarf to stand out from the crowd. Prints range from checks to subtle houndstooth and the length can vary as much as you want it to. From 'dusters' (because they drag along the floor), chic knee length cuts, or a simple but effective hip length style, you'll find something that will suit and that will have no problems keeping you warm and dry.

Keep it fitted and why not try one with a belt for a classy and up to date look that will be great with jeans or simple yet elegant for work.

While this Fall season for SPKSMEN is not a particularly extensive one, it introduces some brand new items to the DC line's growing repertoire. The Home team snap back cap has been surfacing the internet with sneak peeks since the summer, and now it's finally available to get your hands on. It features full front embroidered and side logos with a money green under-brim. The OG Outline fleece crew stays consistent with the classic design direction and comes in two colorways; Navy and Ash Grey. And the real story is behind the Fresco tee; one that will be looked back upon for years to come. Fresco is the subject, a highly respected Maryland photographer and friend of ours, who's work you might see interspersed amongst your favorite tumblr page or inside of Spin Magazine. This photograph was taken by Matthew White. Shop online for SPKSMEN.

These uniquely designed wool cardigan and V-Neck sweaters both deserve to be highlighted as Must Have items for the Fall/Winter of 2011.
