In late 2005, Michael Huynh committed himself to one of his long-time dreams. What followed was the inception of Orisue, an independent apparel company inspired by life’s many positive elements—the expression of affection, hard work, perseverance through adversity, and struggle. While Orisue reflects its creators, it strives to embrace and represent the diverse lifestyle of individuals who make life interesting for all of us.
Now in their 6th season, Orisue have launched the Fall 2007 2nd Delivery look book with new shots of their premium t-shirts, cut-and-sewn sweats, knits, 5-panel caps and fitted hats. Stores should have either received the shipments already or will be receiving them later this week. More images can be seen at www.orisue.com
