COMME des FUCK DOWN, the ironic slogan and play on Japanese brand COMME des GARCONS, created by The Cut, a sub brand of SSUR, many years ago, has celebrated a strong comeback this year, in many ways thanks to ASAP Rocky and his crew wearing it to many of their shows.
Now The Cut has teamed up with CLOT from Hong Kong on an exclusive red version of the slogan merchandise, including t-shirts, hoodies, coach jackets, beanies and caps. Get a first look at the collection, as modeled here above by Edison Chen and Ann Hong.
Electric Zombie released a load of monstrosities for you. See for yourself. The fresh t-shirt drop is accompanied by new jackets, shirts, prints and a barf bag. This is what they had to say about the collection.
This is“a collection of the plug hands as Famous Monsters. I’ll also be bringing back the regular edition in 2 color variations at some point next year. I had a lot of people love the the displays I did for conventions. So, I made a shirt of it and entitled it MESSacre. Those banners/displays really depict who I am as a designer and nerd. It’s a massive collection of things I like. I also plan on putting out posters of those designs next year as well.”
As the ambassador for all things streetwear and urban culture-related, Karmaloop‘s latest initiative is a line of limited-edition A$AP Rocky T-shirts and tank tops, designs that may be familiar to fans. The collection’s graphics and styles were derived from the highly-successful A$AP Mob tour that spanned the United States, Europe and beyond and were quickly sold out, leaving unfortunate individuals pining for more. With a selection of instantly recognizable graphics — the cover of Rocky’s LiveLoveA$AP mixtape, “Purple Swag,” and the now famous line from “Whassup,” among others — these one-of-a-kind pieces are back in Rocky’s preferred color palette of white and black. The A$AP Rocky x Karmaloop collection is available now in very limited numbers exclusively from Karmaloop.

Mishaka want ladies to grab those tanktops. Yes, ladies they are not only for men, you might think that when you look at the tanktop collection mishka recently released. But Mishka had this to say
