DC Shoes Europe is proud to announce the launch of its latest Double Label Project along with a retrospective exhibition during the whole month of September at the new gallery L’IMPRIMERIE, Paris.

During this month, DC will have on exhibition a retrospective of all DC Artist, Double Label and Remix Projects from the past decade. Some of these exclusive and limited projects will also be on sale for the first and only time.

As for our Double Label™ signature collaboration for Fall 2009, the DC x Sixpack France Double Label™ collection marks the most extensive project to date for the DC brand, consisting of men’s footwear and apparel. This premiere collection is slated as the first of many that will run over several seasons.

Dubbed “Non Merci”, the Sixpack France collection designed by Akroe, draws from inspirations that cross political borders, embraces impossible love and yet harbors deep resentment. Meaning “no thanks” in French, the translation of “Non Merci” can also be interpreted as “I’m over it”. Drawing from the love-hate relationship that shadows US- French relations on all levels, “Non Merci” implies an elegant arrogance, which while being courteous, implies superiority.

For the project, the symbol of this mindset is a beautiful blonde model that exudes “Non Merci”, placing her on an untouchable pedestal as an object of desire. Her image is displayed across the collection’s footwear and apparel.

This concept will be realised in a live display during the month of September at “L’Imprimerie”. The gallery is located at the crossroads of two of the most artistic and cultural areas of Paris: Les Halles and Le Marais. The perfect location for this launch.

The program for the month will be celebrated with the following exhibition openings with various DC limited edition products being introduced.

WEDNESDAY 2nd of September, Official Opening of the DC L’IMPRIMERIE and official launch of SixPack France   “Non Merci”designed by Akroe, also featuring Aaron Rose, Meth, SSUR, Peter Savile, Agnes B, Michael Leon and a retrospective of other DC Artist Projects.

Just a quick post about one of my last musical tip. Interesting mix of Mory Kanté, with a touch of Chicago sound, a small rave twist, and an interesting tribal black gay groove approach. Good one. Enjoy!

Back in 1993, he used to do some cool hand-painted tee shirts and worked as designer for English label Maharishi for years, developping camo and graphics for them.

Big up Russel…Everyday dude..Everyday!! E.V.E.R.Y.D.A.Y.S!

Interesting fashion blog “Coût que coûte” has previously did a small report on ill-studio work. This time they did a small one focus on our aw09 lookbook who has been art directed by our long time friend Akroe. Im happy to see our work on this kind of blogs. Check it out here.

Last time i posted a Kenneth Anger trailer, announcing a kenneth Anger Sixpack homage series.

The tee has finally hit our store, it has been designed in honor of Kenneth Anger, the cult movie director.

Here is the part 01, designed by english studio LA.BOCA. That one comes from inspirations of LUCIFER RISING (1972 my year of birth héhéhéhé, is it a sign?)  short movie.

Available here.

Here it comes.

The Sixpack decade is one of transition, Usenet became web 2.0. The old world is dead, but it doesn’t know it yet. Sub-cultures from the past govern the living world.

Sixpack isn’t tired yet.
