I love french suburb. More precisely the 94 but actually Ive got an appointment in the 92 yesterday afternoon : LA GARENNE-COLOMBES… Wtf!!!??? 2 hours of train and 1 hours of horse later (just kidding 20min in scooter)…
We’ve been invited with my partner GREG to DOMEAU & PERES office for a whole afternoon. Ok Their offices are really nice but most of all they’ve got such a great skill with leather.
They can “leathered” anything. Look at this wonderfull FIAT 500 (white rolls-royce paint)… Alpaga for the rooftop… Butter leather everywhere inside… Wowowowow… My pics are actually not really good (for ones) and this amazing car deserve a real photoshoot… maybe soon
But got a very unexpected nice visit of the “most sexy hairy aussie guy on earth” WOODY x SNKR FRKR founder, with his whole little family.
Coming in Europe for WOODY is not a party trip 20h of plane. He got nice project coming up with sneakers company and after AMSTERDAM decided to stop a bit in PARIS. It was a good family day!
(cant make a post without posting fooooooddddd… sorry! nice fresh organic french salad…)
Got a sneak peek all together into the new RENAULT exhibition on their parisian show-room. Great old school / vintage RENAULT cars.
Im really more and more proud about our products. Always limited to 50 pieces, really not that expensive and with a nice quality. Im most of all really happy about the whole result : nice twisted clothes. People seems to really like it, and it’s great.
I like all the details we’ve been putting on it. Such as those really nice purple handtag in the back of the tops and on the pocket of the denim and fleece jogging pants.
Also got the visit of two new young maverick french producers : THE TWINS. Those guyz are coming in our shop since a big while. And now starting doing their own project, it seems that we can help them… Perfect give and go indeed…
Check the last remix they’ve done BEYONCE “EGO” one. Honestly their sound is really fresh and each time they are doing a remix im really into it. Check their latest video : Because those guyz are doing a remix and a fresh video to spray it around the digital world. Smart. Nice!
Young generation is definitely not sleeping. Im happy to see that BKRW and BLACK RAINBOW is now also building a whole crew, a big cultural and artistical network, made by so many different talented people. (it sounds really cheezy but its true)
At last but not at least, it was XMAS time today at the office. Got a very nice present from COLETTE. The new REEBOK PUMP 20TH ANNIVERSARY x Colette. Wow. MERCI SARAH and GUILLAUME for the nice hook-up!
Great make-up. Really well made. Perfectly matching with our new PEACOAT… lol
Last week-end the whole PARIS x BERLIN was in Paris (without NICO, TOM, BIANCA and a the deutsh VANS team…) to celebrate the PIGALLE FIRST ANNIVERSARY Party Batch! Since the last PX tournament BERLIN and PARIS seems to move in the same pace, crazy bridges are building up… Peace Unite Love and Having fun! Streetculture bitch!
Here somes pics from HELMI (the best ones), PHIL, MISLA…
An amazing good week-end but most of all one of the craziest and wettest and gayest (where was the gal) hardcore hiphop/ragga party eva! I’ve tried to choose some of the most significant pics! wowowowowow!

Nothing else to say!
BKRW on mouille le maillot ou bien? LA fammmillleee! Huuuuummmmiiiiiddeeee!
I know Heron Preston since a big while, when he starts to live in PAris some couple of years ago. And we both wanted to work together. We finally did it, with our first STREETLOOK Video ever.
We are always trying to really push up online magazine, and not only thinking internet press as a new printed one. Video is one of the biggest key to make it happends.
Im really happy about that result. It was a great production from HERON, and a great work for Albrecht GERLACH the mad germano-brazilian photographer. Or cinematographer as Heron called him.
We’ve received a very interesting new silhouette made by La Chaussure LACOSTE and ATMOS. I really like this mid version of the CABESTAN. I love also the very good use of the sponge material of the upper (terry toweling) which is a very good pick for such an american yachting/boating inspiration design.
Since the 19th of July I did not post anything. Omg.
But Ive got some really good reasons for that.
July was a real crazy month. I really thought that its gonna be like a cool and chilling time BUT suddenly we have to work on NIKE IAM1 PARIS project and prepare the opening of our new office/space in PARIS (secret)…
And so we have to take care of 5 teasers set up to announce 5 tournaments : running, bike-polo, basket-ball, soccer and tennis. Check the 5 teaser directed by ALBAN TEURLAI and music by TAHITI BOYS. Each of his teaser featuring one guy/girl from streetculture parisian communanty : Romual x THE LAZY DOG, STEPHANE x PIGALLE, Olivia x SHOES-UP Magazine, MARC x PIGNON FIXE, and my self. It was some great moments, it takes nearly one week to shoot them and the same time to edit it.
Then we’ve to do the tournament and honestly it was just awesome. Check the video we’ve done with ALBRECHT GERLACH of each. It was really fresh, some extraordinary good and positive vibes, and a nice atmosphere. It was just great…
So no need to explain then why after that and 3 weeks of holidays I aint got any time to post! But now Im back full of energy and great news to announce and spread. Stay tuned!
It is not the 25th of December, neither my birthday but honestly all the brands and my friends seems in a real Xmas mood those past feew weeks. I mean its always frustrating to not get thank you when you’ve offering a gift. So this a MERCI for all those peeps who are thinking about me when they’ve got extra goodies.
ADIDAS ORIGINAL x II COMP (Ivan LENDL pro-model)
François is one the head shoes product manager (maybe not his exact title) of ADIDAS ORIGINALS France. He is always trying to dig out amazing vintage silhouette. He was at the beginning of the AMERICANA x PARIS when we decided to work together on this launch. Now he just send me this new shoes. For all those who did love tennis. You can’t have forgotten Ivan LENDL. Here comes his shoes. 20 years later. lol
ASICS x BBB x SALMON and BUTTER
Well… HumHum… Ive elected this shoes in my special top 5 ugliest sneakers of the year when PHIL x SPORT&STREET x BBB decided to show it to me. (Sorry to be honest). After seeing it since more than 2 weeks, let’s say that this shoes is as ugly as the first sight. But honestly Im starting to like it… And honestly ASICS GEL silhouette really rock! Va comprendre charles!
HS x NEW ERA
When I was in Berlin DAVID x HS welcome me very nicely in his office. Apart the fact that JEFF was always sleeping noisily right next to me. It was a good times. The HS guys were just received this very nice NEW ERA collab. It is a really great one. Nice fresh preppy colors and a new fit and silhouette. Really confortable to wear. Merci les gars!
QWSTION Backpack
My old friend SEBASTIAN who Ive met when he was working for BURTON, is now founder of a great bag brand called QWSTION. He was in PARIS for CAPSULE and got a nice surprise for me. This bag is really great. Nice shape, very good materials. And very very nice details. Im happy!
NIKE x STAGES x Messenger Bag
After STAGES exhibition x PARIS, when it was about to leave the gallery. We’ve received this great NIKE x MESSENGER BAG with some YELLOW craies (in french) and a LANCE AMSTRONG x LIVESTRONG bracelet. The bag has not amazing materials but got a real great shape and design. With a perfect all-black and a yellow touch make-up.
Today was a good day… lol
