We are happy to see the return of the Polo Bear! The Polo Bear sweater, which was introduced in 1991, featured various outfits that the Polo Bear had worn, and soon became collectible items, like the actual bear had become.
For more news on the actual release of Polo Bear, you can check out the RL site!
Lacoste shows us a blueprint for the polo shirt of the future!
Even though this may not ever happen (or at least anytime soon!), we love the idea, and the visual that the company has dropped in celebration of their 80th year. How incredibly fly would it be to have a shirt that would change with just a simple touch of the hand?

SPEAK IX: NIGHT OF THE SKINNY GUY

As innovators of the game, the Skinny Guy camp has once again proven to the world why they deserve that title, and that the summer is theirs! The Skinny Guy website/summer ’12 line was debuted in a unique way that also served as the return of the SPEAK series, hosted by Brad Gilmore. While several performers were rocking the stage throughout the night, the official Skinny Guy website served as the backdrop. In between the performances, the DJ helped kept the good vibes going, and guests were able to go to the “laptop lounge” and make purchases from the new site/online store. For those who preferred it, select styles were on hand for immediate purchase. Needless to say, our neighborhood friendly Skinny Guys have continued to be trendsetters on the Houston fashion scene, and as long as they stay hungry, they will keep eating good!

Gearing up for a few summer releases, our brothers over at High Hopes have just recently released the Hope Mountain tee, in the South Beach Colorway. The inspiration behind the design?
“Quick History: With this particular release we wanted to add some historic insight just to keep it Trill. If you look on the back of a One Dollar Bill, at the bottom of the Pyramid reads the Roman Numerals: (MDCCLXXVI).This number represents the beginning of our nation coded by our founding fathers, the Freemasons. This design is titled “The Great Hunt” in reference to the ultimate pursuit for ”Money” and the limited amount of “South Beach 9′s” produced.”
Also part of the campaign: The re-release of the Playas Get Chose design in the red colorway for ladies!

Our good friends over at Imagein & Veeberry Artworks are back with another awesome collab! The new Hello, My Name Is collection is based on the classic design of the sticker that we’re sure that we’ve all had at one point or another in life!
“Nowadays people are becoming more connected with those that are further away, & becoming more distant to people that are closer to them. Texting, Tumblr, Twitter, etc. have brought us together in some ways, & apart in others. The Hello, My Name Is project is an initiative to encourage meeting new people, expression, as well as celebration of our creativity, similarities & differences. Our similarities & differences work like yin & yang, keeping balance. The Hello, My Name Is project serves to highlight the positive aspects of similarities & differences between us. Soon, image.in + Veeberry Artworks will be releasing a video short illustrating these ideals through capturing video of various creatives.”
