GMF X LV

Take a look at this Grand Master Flash and Louis Vuitton Ad I cut out of a magazine in 1996. I always felt it was interesting that Louie Vuitton would do that type of ad using a Hip Hop icon in that era. Main strean power house brands had yet to realize the selling power that Hip Hop had to offer. As a matter of fact, around that time it was alleged that several of the mega brands had actually done the opposite insisting that they were not interested in minorities sporting their wears.

I found these images posted all over the web and have come to realize that they are all from my originals from an older blog. Sheeeeesh, what a jacker culture we live in. Please link back in the future.

Killer Frames circa 1984

cazals

Flash back to the past. This article was out of New Yorker Magazine circa 1984, if I remember right . Killer frames they were for sure. If you walked the streets in the 80’s then you know the deal on these frames and how of a big deal it was to have them. Just walking out the house with these glasses on could take you on an wild life adventure if you weren’t prepared. Like Mos Def said, in his song Habitat, ” To the crib where the little kids spend their summers trapped / With the jungle cats, lions and tigers, leopards and cheetahs / For gazelle (cazals) you get chased like a zebra…”

The 80’s was one hell of a decade.
