The latest initiative from Triumvir features the launching of their Qing Marauder Street Team collection. No doubt strong connections and relationships are built through sacrifice and dually noted, is often appropriately rewarded. The Qing Marauder street team creates a relationship with compensation coming in the form of never for retail t-shirts and subsequent hoodies. The prizes may seem trivial, but at the root of it is a deeper connection from my view point as it creates a tangible product for loyalty. No idea what this “street team” will involve but check Triumvir for more details.
Triumvir is an independent lifestyle and clothing brand from Orange County that has been around for four years. Like many other “new age” brands, we have watched Triumvir grow from a t-shirt brand into a full fledge clothing label with its own distinct style. The latest from Triumvir is a look at their 2008 Spring/Summer lookbook which showcases their latest pieces modeled by their own staff. For more information, head over to Triumvir’s website.
Through a short period of time, Triumvir has exemplified a much different approach in our eyes. From its flashy prints of the past, most recent releases from the California based brand have embodied a more mature aesthetic and looked deeper into more relevant concepts. The Clansman series set to release March 21st includes a series of hoodies, flannels and shorts, each made of 100% cotton poplin. The end result is a lightweight collection perfect for the warmer months.
Triumvir started out applying their artwork to things like sneakers. Through the boom of the sneaker customizing trend, they gained popularity. Also during that time, they also started their own brand which continues to today. Their newest project involved a new Town Bicycle t-shirt. Here is a description from their website:
“Town Bicycles. Who doesn’t know of at least one in every school, town or neighborhood? It doesn’t take one to know one and in most cases, you don’t have to go very far to find her… She’s the one the guys love for all the wrong reasons and the girls hate for all the right reasons. Her generosity nourishes and plagues her undisputable reputation. Her openhandedness or open-leg-edness in this case, insures she’s the one you can’t stop thinking about, talking about, dreaming about… fighting about. She’s not just “public transportation”, she gives you something to love, something to hate; she gives you a reason to wake up in the morning. She’s the all-pervading Town Bicycle and this one’s for her.
The original artwork we used for this tee was from a Richard Avedon photograph of Marilyn Monroe. The border came from a box of Bicycle Playing Cards.”
These tees which are apart of their Spring ‘08 collection will be available in March.
As America’s favorite past time, baseball has not be without it’s fair share of political issues. From the current steroid scandal to gambling issues in the past, the Broken Halos concept emerged as the nickname of the Angels franchise following some divided moves which began in 2005. Over the years, the Angels franchise has endured various name changes, from it’s original name the Anaheim Angels to the California Angles in 1965, and back to the Anaheim Angels in 1997 while under the control of Disney. However in 2005, new owner Arte Moreno wanted to develop the Los Angeles media market and wanted a renaming to the Los Angeles Angels. Although fans alike fought furiously to preserve the roots of the team, a name change went forth. The resulting Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim is a direct example of the power of money over the preservation of history. The Angels have fallen and in their place, Broken Halos remain. In this collaboration between Estate LA and Triumvir, the two pay tribute to Angels organization with a collection of t-shirts and fitted caps. These pieces will release as part of Triumvir’s Spring collection which drops in March.
The Prince of Thieves design from Triumvir was inspired largely in part by Russian prison tattoos and the symbolism behind the Prince of Thieves concept. Although not a new design, the t-shirt has been re-released in its original black and white colors as well as a new heather grey color. Available for sale via Triumvir.
The latest release from Triumvir is definitely not your typical foam trucker cap. Although this trucker hat features the traditional snap back closure and mesh panel backing, the front uses man made leather to emulate the diamond quilted pattern many of us have grown to enjoy over the past year. Available now in three colors at triumvir.com.
January 18th will mark the release of the latest Legio XIII collection from Triumvir. Themed after death squads often associated with political regimes developped by military power, the dark collection includes t-shirts, fitted caps, raglan baseball jerseys and hoodies. Check Triumvir for more details as they release.
Here’s a look at California based Triumvir’s 2007 Holiday Collection. The Polka Dot Button Up is a tailored dress shirt featuring matte black rivets and Crack Skull embroidery. Polka-dots don’t usually connote elegance but the sophisticated fit gives the edginess a sense of maturity and the lean silhouette can be refined enough to wear in the evening. The latest drop also includes the Crack Slim Hood, and the Brush Them Off t-shirt, which marks part two of three in the official collaboration series with legendary 1950’s American pin-up artist, Gil Elvgren. Available soon at select Triumvir dealers.
After teaming up with fellow Southern California based company 530medialab for their website revamp, it’s only suiting that Triumvir would release follow-up package. The Black Friday pack consists of a matte black tin lunch box, a t-shirt, two logo pins, and six stickers. Since the majority of both teams grew up in Orange County, California and ending up working in the same industry but in different mediums, the tattoos on the t-shirt represent the divergent paths of the two brands. Limited to 100 pieces. Available "Black Friday", November 23 at triumvir.com and 530medialab.com for a price of $65 USD.
