Many people keep asking me what is BKRW/BLACK RAINBOW crew? Who are our parisian core friends and family…

We are not that good to talk about ourselves, and even worst when its about our own crew… LOL

And I just did realized that since a little while people who are close to us keep opening blogs on the World Wide Web. Im happy because I can see all this people grewing up since more than 4 years.

Props to them! Thanks to them! You cant go anywhere alone! We have to move on as a team, thanks to people who are putting energy, trust and fun daily in our projects and life.

Last week in PARIS… Many things to deal as usual…

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.

We’ve been also pretty busy with the launch of many BLACK RAINBOW products : right after our third varsity jacket, the whole new BLACK RAINBOW SPORTSWEAR CLASSIC collection and then followed by our exclusive first PEACOAT.

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

Cant wait to wear it on court!

ITS ALL ABOUT DETAILS babv…

all the pics have been shooted by a BLACKBERRY 9000 BOLD.

I do really like the french x international design website FUBIZ. I am actually watching all their video and checking their new posts weekly.

This morning (this afternoon?) I’ve got the very good surprised that our BKRW x BLACK RAINBOW Video Fashion Shoot was up on the homepage.

Im really happy about that. Congrats to my team (once again) !!! ALTA MEDIA (Alrecht & Tristana, ZAB, SHKS Team, Kanke)

We are really trying to step up our content. I mean BKRW always try to be a real online x digital magazine, we are doing our own creative content.

More than a blog.

I mean we do need blog but we dont need 100 blogs talking about the same news in the same way. That’s why we create BKRW. And also because we do really need some kind of journalistic point of view in a world which was only about :”look-that-new-shoes” or “this-new-tee-shirt”.

Selection is the key. Constructive critisicisnmsmmsm (lol) too.

We are actually preparing a whole new interesting shit in NYC rite now! U gonna surprised for sure!

PS : Ive got a tons of pics from BBB need to filtrate and post some!

thanks to BEN x BLACK RAINBOW via STEVE x ECKO

it seems that we scored against THE HUNDREDS…

hehehehehe

i love that custom shit !

BKRW could not simply chill backstage during the parisian fashion week…
