Ladies First: The Fall of Joyrich

Joyrich‘s dope new Fall collection is now available at Karmaloop.com! Supporting the image of being casual and laid-back but yet posh and luxurious, the LA based label has been designed to promote a lifestyle that is rich in content. The collection intertwines high-end apparel techniques with contemporary street casual fabrics and fits. The line delivers influential 90′s styles like the classic acid washed denim and the multi-faceted varsity jackets. The most appealing aspect of this collection is that it was created to be accessibly worn on or off the runway, producing a smart balance between both the men and women’s line. Not to mention, an impressive collaboration with designer extraordinaire, Brian Lichtenberg – the two labels have come together to produce clean and form fitting tees, like The BL x Joyrich Big Tee in Black and The BL x Joyrich Tee. Joyrich’s super hip mixture of clothing carries a fresh energy and contemporary chic appeal, which is very much reflected in all of its pieces. For other styles, check out Karmaloop.com.

Like Our New TITS? [NSFW!]

We’ve been supporting our dudes at Two In The Shirt like a training bra for a minute now, from their humble developments at our Kazbah section, the Karmaloop x T.I.T.S. collaboration tee, to this year’s blossoming on the main page. As expected, Seattle’s finest come correct with more than a handful of new, perky designs and colorways, not to mention the glorious return of our girl Wifey and an all-new tee featuring Karmaloop Kelly.

As expected, T.I.T.S. bounced on over to Karmaloop with more of those brilliant graphics to make your parents, pastor and parole officer blush. Bigger, better and fuller than ever, T.I.T.S. lines just keep winning and we’re all predicting another undefeated year for this crew. The revealing summer line proudly displays the return of Wifey (below, left), a woman who cooks, cleans and pounds bottles with the best of ‘em. We all know about her supreme ironing skills, and just in time for barbecue season, Wifey proves to us that sizzling breasts are well within her forte as well – you know, chicken breasts. On the grill. See? She’s grilling.

The new Juicy Tee features a stunning black & white shot juxtaposed with vivid, beautiful melons… we mean, oranges. The color orange is a total killer in the summertime, and The Juicy Tee colorway is sure to link up fresh with the sneaker of your choice this season. Just don’t go overboard or you’ll look nuts.

As promised, Karmaloop’s most sensational model, Kelly, is back for her second go around with Two In The Shirt. The original Good Karma, Bad Karma Tee was a worldwide hit, with everyone from hipsters in Japan to 50 Cent rocking that banger in a viral Rick Ross diss. This summer’s The Kelly Tee is in an all new league of it’s own, however. Absolutely beautiful, particularly with the classic black and white aesthetic and no additional graphics save for the small T.I.T.S. (hee hee)  “T” logo on the back just below the collar. Sometimes, even with T.I.T.S., less is more…

… then again, our dudes go ‘head and present The Flawless Tee (be sure to check both green and blue colorways), where the graphic fits the title proper. For real, have you ever seen a specimen so perfect? We’d pay anything to get our hands on that, bring it home, rub it down, shine it up… maybe even kiss it a little? Wow, what a diamond…

Cop a feel for the latest T.I.T.S. line at Karmaloop here, and go behind the scenes and beneath the shirt with KarmaloopTV to see the making of the now-infamous Karmaloop x T.I.T.S. Good Karma, Bad Karma collaboration tee with Mack from Two In The Shirt and everyone’s favorite ‘Loop model, the one and only Kelly.

Women’s Crooks and Castles

Crooks and Castles has released the first installment of their new women’s Summer Collection for 2009, now available at Karmaloop. Taken from the same vein as the original launch of the men’s line, Crooks and Castles has chosen to start with some core graphic T-shirts. Inspired by the growing popularity of female customers, the brand is now ready to dive into the Women’s Streetwear/Lifestyle market. Keep your eyes out for their Fall collection, which will include a much wider selection: sweaters, knit shirts, hoodies, denim and accessories are what you can expect for the next season.

Introducing… Amivectio

“Amivectio comes from the combination of two Latin words,” explains creative director Hector Estrada. “‘Amicus,’ which means friend or comrade, and ‘circumvectio,’ which means to assail or revolt. I put them together to simplify things and create a new term meaning ‘friends of the Revolution.”

Comprised of a passionate group of friends hell-bent on creation and starting the revolution in the streetwear market, Amivectio certainly believes a change in ideas is desperately needed and they have the product, designs and drive to make it happen. Embracing the challenge, it is Amivectio’s mission to alter the system for the good of the masses with an informed movement to achieve equal opportunity, tolerance, education, peace and progress, health and sustainability as well as clean air, soil, water and energy through design, communication and community. In the words of the great José Martí, “doing is the best way of saying,” and Amivectio has taken those words to heart by linking up with Clean Water Action in support of its fight for the environment.

As evidenced by the shots above, Amivectio’s line for the spring is ultra-clean, bold and militant, with The Deactivate Tee (above left) and The Peace of Mind Tee (above right) already cemented as staff favorites here at The ‘Loop. However, with just 120 units produced in this limited-edition run, we’re playing nice and giving you first-shot priorities. Starting to regret it already…
