The economy may be hitting the skids, but streetwear designers are managing to keep sales figures high. Stussy, and many other streetwear brands are experiencing an increase of sales, and they continue to release new lines to take advantage of the resurgence of interest in streetwear.
For twenty-eight years Stussy has managed to stay on top, continuing to offer their fans innovations and old favorites. Their new menswear line, Stussy Deluxe was rolled out at the recent Project Global Trade Show in Las Vegas to thunderous applause. Even though many other clothing manufacturers seem to be scaling back in this time of economic uncertainty, Stussy, and even boutiques such as FilthyDripped.com are holding their own.
Scott Terpstra, Stussy’s sales director commented on the increases stating that streetwear is deemed a “must have,” by their customers and has managed to stay liquid because it is “on trend.” Customers would certainly agree and many labels are benefiting from these conditions. Crooks and Castles, a Los Angeles based label has announced numerous plans for expansion and will be debuting new lines throughout the year.
In keeping with what they deem is a changing trend among their consumers, Stussy is changing their lines a little bit and trying to appeal to their core customers that are reaching into the 30’s and looking for merchandise that is not too “youth oriented.” Their new deluxe line featured denim with only a purple dot for the brand logo and they are incorporating much more luxurious fabrics like cashmere into their hoodies. Many claim that they are losing their roots a bit with this switch, but the bottom line may dictate the kind of clothing that the company produces. Despite these changes that have taken the line a little further from its roots, Terpstra commented, “We are an image and brand-integrity company.”

Kanye West Clothing Line?
Mar 5, 2008 Author: admin | Filed under: NewsHip Hop artist Kanye West thinks that fashion and music don’t blend enough these days and says he may embark on his personal clothing line.
Sources quoted West, who went to Paris Fashion Week, as saying, “I get a lot of a attention and sometimes designers don’t want anything taking the focus off the show.”
He wrote in his blog, “I feel like music and fashion don’t bridge enough, at least not as much as it did in the ’80s when Madonna and Michael (presumably Jackson) actually influenced designers.”
He as well hinted that he may kickoff his own clothing line when he stated: “I just want to make great art on every level and fashion shows are one of the best forms of art in the world.”
Now that would be FRESH! Go Kanye!

Delicious Drips
Mar 2, 2008 Author: admin | Filed under: NewsMuch props to Delicious Drips for putting together a dope designer toy set up in Filthy Dripped!
“Designer Toys?” — This is the question that many of us deal with whenever we mention the subject. Most people cannot fathom the notion of a toy replacing a canvas as a medium. Like many aspects of art, they are impossible to describe in words. When someone actually sees a designer toy, the preconceptions are extinguished, and the power of unique design and ingenuity take hold.
Delicious Drips is here to bring together artists from NY, LA, and SF to assemble a collection of urban art that oozes talent like puss from a wound. Delicious Drips also helps other artists with providing unique media for them to produce their own tantalizing designs. Bon Apetit!
