Foreign Family’s Mr44 and Johnny Punishment of FF Dropout will present a series of personal art next week. The showcase will go hand in hand with a preview of Foreign Family’s 2008 summer collection. Foreign Family’s illustrations have always been held in high regard over here on the shoulders of the complexity of their graphics and their reoccurring fish themes. The event will take place May 10th in Los Angeles.

Right on the heels of the Colette x Married to The Mob x Reebok Freestyle collabo, the Most Official Bitches have dropped hints of what’s to come for their Summer 2008 collection. In addition to the usual tongue in cheek slogan emblazoned across the chest of ladies from Paris to NY, from the classic “My Girls Smoke Mad Marijuana…” to the new “Let’s Talk Shit” slogan (see below), queen bee/designer Leah McSweeney takes her “most official” status a step further with a “Men are the New Women” beach blanket, fashioned after the popular tee. Details on the drop coming soon.

After Cheap Monday caught wind of a an upcoming Cali Color Party” (scroll to the bottom), the affordable denim label stepped in to offer their own contribution to the party. Themed after the Un-Milkfed Reebok Pastelle pack, a limited run of hand-dyed denim was created in Cheap Monday’s local Swedish factory. 20 colors of each color are available with a price tag of € 44 EUR (approximately $68 USD). Although most trends have all but dismissed bright colors, Caliroots are continuing to buck the trend and embracing bright colors. The denim will release in-store later today at 7:00 pm local time and online at 9:00 pm local time at caliroots.com.
Japanese brands often strive for authenticity in the reproduction of their American inspired apparel. Such sentiments have often resulted in collaborations with relatively unknown classic American brands including Wyoming’s Rocky Mountain Feather Bed. The brand has lent their expertise in quality outerwear in a team up with Japanese brand SiFury. Items include a classic Mountain Parka as well as the popular Christy Vest. Available now at Zicue.
A new pack of colorful Puma Clydes have dropped. Despite the relatively simple nature of the Clyde, Puma has three highly contrasting colorways on this basketball classic. The uppers feature buttery monotone colored suede with a contrasting color on the sole. The colors include green/violet, orange/blue and blue/red. Available now at Ubiq.
