"Wes Lang and I have recently become close friends. He was introduced by a mutual friend Big Will Welch. Wes's studio is like my favorite place. It's a warehouse in the L.A art
district with floor to ceiling art work, muscle cars, motorcycles,
weight bench, snapshots of beautiful women and a mid-century Danish
couch.
My first experience there made me realize that it's possible to achieve
success and happiness without compromising, well, basically anything.
You don't have to sell out or follow because the 'industry' pushes you
to. It's not rebelling, but making your 'own way'. Surround yourself by
what you love and that breeds authenticity. Without this, creativity is
empty.
Long story short, we become mates and one day staring at his art
covered walls and drinking a beer, we decided to do this collaboration. I
believe in him and he believes in me. That's all that matters. This
collection is dedicated to our friends. "
Special mention to...
Our dear friend Mr Reino Lehtonen-Riley, Owner and Creative Director
of 'The Great Frog' for the fucking badass jewelry collection.
The best brothers Mr Peter & Michael Bracher from 'Paspaley' for
supplying us the worlds most luxurious and sexy pearls. cant wait for
the next fishing trip!
Dr Martens for the boots. Love you guys.
Persol eyewear for the fire frames. In the words of 'The Dude', ''it really tied the room together.''
Etienne Russo and the team at Villa Eugenie for being legendary show producers and homies.
And last but not least the main man Mr Ramon Mac-Crohon for letting
us take over the best restaurant in the universe Caviar Kaspia.
