Aside from being all around good people, San Francisco’s HomeRoom has made their mark in the industry via a great cut & sew program.

Other anticipated pieces include Stussy, Nautica, Polo, Marc Jacobs, Dior, Original Sears and Levis work wear (circa 1960’s).

Here’s the upcoming Summer 2008 goods from HomeRoom. The San Francisco based brand has a strong collection slated for the upcoming seasons, looking towards their cut & sew collection as a defining point. We also had a chance to speak candidly with founder Alex Valdman as he enjoyed a slice of raw pizza courtesy of Bobby Hundreds. Check the short interview after the jump.
HYPEBEAST: Who are you?
Alex: My name is Alex and I’m eating raw dough pizza.
HYPEBEAST: And it’s delicious right?
Alex: Thank you Bobby Hundreds [for the pizza]!
HYPEBEAST: So what’s your deal?
Alex: Ummm… trying to eat food. No it really fucking sucks. I walk into my booth today, I had it completely taped off with duct tape. Outta nowhere the duct tape is down, I rush over to my booth and look into my snake bag, and it’s gone.
HYPEBEAST: What the hell? A snake, like jewelry?
Alex: No… a snake is an animal…
HYPEBEAST: Ohhhh shit, a REAL snake.
Alex: Yeh like a serpent, with a tongue that flickers [mimics motion]. So there’s a snake, or serpent if you will lose around here.
HYPEBEAST: I was thinking some jewelry…
Alex: Nah… Oh on top of that, speaking of jewelry then some fucking faggot stole our Kaboom ring. Somebody stole like a $300 ring from us.
HYPEBEAST: Now what? You’re going to stab someone?
Alex: I hope I see them at a party… but that might suck cause if they take a swing at me that shit is sharp and might cut me up bad…. no health insurance.
HYPEBEAST: No health insurance… streetwear doesn’t pay that well?
Alex: I wouldn’t say that….
HYPEBEAST: Oh shit doesn’t pay that well eh. What’s a hypebeast to you?
Alex: Somebody who buys into the hype without really knowing. Would you like some nuts? [Opens a bottle of cashews]
HYPEBEAST: Are you a hypebeast?
Alex: No.
HYPEBEAST: Yeh you are, you fucking hypebeast.
Alex: Fuck you man! [throws cashew]
HYPEBEAST: So what are you looking to do at MAGIC?
Alex: Eat pizza that is fully cooked.
HYPEBEAST: That’s it? Sell some clothes?
Alex: Meet some people, get some stuff done… no gambling. I don’t want to lose HomeRoom.
HYPEBEAST: Anything else you want to say?
Alex: Check out Red Clay’s line.
