I remember back in day... 2002/2003 ... I used to be hooked on this up-and-coming brand. I never knew where to buy it or where it came from but I just knew it was dope! Eventually I found a store an hour away from my place that carried the line, known as LRG. I was in High School and broke but always managed to get something from them, stuff that I still have to this day (A full giraffe print crewneck stands out). Friends would ask me what it was and where I got it from and I would always say "this brand is going to blow up one day." Of course years later it became a staple in the expanding streetwear market, eventually becoming widely available through malls and retailers. Of course I'm not calling myself a visionary, but rather I saw the strong influence and meaning behind the line and knew that people would eventually pick up on it and appreciate it for what it was.

A couple of years later, unfortunately, exclusivity was the main objective and like many others, I didn't want to be wearing the same thing as everyone else... immature of course. Not until recently did I really get to understand LRG's main objective. The constant messages and symbols finally hit home and for some reason or another I felt it would be awesome to catch up with Jonas Bevacqua and get a chance to hear what he had to say about the current streetwear landscape. The interview he gave me was insightful, thoughtful and more than real. It was refreshing to hear and what was even greater was how stoked he was on the piece. Never in my wildest imagination would I have guessed that it would be the last interview Jonas would give. While I was happy that the world was able to hear him out, it was extremely saddening to get that news yesterday morning.... I'm just happy I was able to meet the man, even if it was only once during a brief chat at a Mexican restaurant in the OC.

Above is one of my favorite videos ever from LRG...

"Adopt children, not styles."

RIP.

This was after the Odd Future Pomona show. Took my little brother down to LA the next day to meet up with Julian Berman and ran into them before they were on their way to a photoshoot.

Which brings me to my next point, Julian Berman made a new website, which can be located here.

This is a big shock to me and has a definite large impact on me. LRG is one of the reasons why I first started posting on the Hypebeast forums. Checking the LRG thread daily for news about the new drops and interviews of Jonas. I read those interviews from start to finish multiple times about how he grinded to get this brand up. It was a big influence to me and one of the reasons why I wanted to even get into this industry. Im mad because I finally got the chance to meet him once I got this gig and started making it out to trade shows, but I never actually got to shake the mans hand. First time I saw him was at a sample sale somewhere in Lake Forrest a couple years back when i was a heavy LRG head. My thoughts go out to his big family and all the crew of LRG.
