Category: Uncategorized, brand partners, company news, eventsakio @ 9:19 pm

hoodiepeople.com is proud to announce that our kids category is now live! This is a category that should have been live since launch, but has required some extra attention. So, without further delay here are some of the cutest hoodies available for your special lil one.

Tea Collection Bjorn Hoodie

Classic hooded sweater made form extra soft Pima cotton.

Tea Collection Aomori Hoodie

The Tea Collection Aomori Hooded Top is top of the line. The floral print is inspired by Japanese woodblock artwork.

Forest Green Appaman Heavy Hoodie

100% cotton pullover with two front pockets and has ribbing along the side for comfort.

Hot Pink Appaman Heavy Hoodie

The fun and bold ape face tops this piece off as a kids favorite for sure.

Our first two brands, Tea Collection and Appaman, offer nothing but the finest in children’s clothing. Tea Collection started in 2002 and is based in San Francisco. They are best known for globally inspired clothing and distribution to exclusive boutiques. Appaman started in 2003 and is based in New York. This brand is all about fun. They are known for having a unique Scandinavian perspective on Ameripop iconic imagery and of course the trademark ape named Appaman integrated into their designs. We hope you love these special hoodies as much as we do!

upper playground holiday hoodies 2

Category: brand partners, hoodiesakio @ 10:34 pm

Women’s Upper Playground holiday hoodies are here! On Monday we dropped the new men’s hoodies from Upper Playground. Now let’s take a look at what’s new for the ladies.

4 Turnables by Sam Flores

Super SF by Joshua Prince

California by Jeremy Fish

We really like this shipment because they are all comfortable and simple, while bold and expressive at the same time. Characteristics of a true hoodie. For example, any woman will feel untouchable wearing Super SF by Joshua Prince. But it’s so simple you could wear it almost anywhere. These are hoodies that you can break-in like a new pair of sneakers and put in some serious usage. Really dope hoodies from Upper Playground as usual! Thanks guys!

notcot.org releases Banksy’s “Village Petstore and Charcoal Grill” video

Category: hoodie peopleHasan Luongo @ 2:47 pm

hoodiepeople.com hearts graffiti artist Banksy in a major way. Banksy’s artistic talents are immense and his message is one that literally hits you in the face. On a separate meme I was recently introduced to notcot.org and founder Jean Aw in SF last week.

Notcot is a independent blog and community, described as a visual filtration of ideas + aesthetics + amusements. In the wide world of blogs, there are lots of semi pros like us, and there are a few real deal media producers, notcot.org is the realz.

When we heard notcot.org had released their first video, and it featured Banksy’s latest grand art project, the Village Petstore and Charcoal Grill exhibition, which is live in New York right now but ends on the 3st, well lets just say we were pretty exited.

Without further ado, check this amazing video featuring the amazing art of Banksy from the amazing blog notcot.org.

CTRL skateboarding in style

Category: brand partnersakio @ 10:25 am

straight out of helsinki, finnland comes CTRL. this is one of the freshest skate inspired apparel lines available. CTRL began with three friends who loved to skate and wanted to turn their passion for skating into a career. Freeman is the designer/art director; Esa, the brand/sales manager; and Timothy, the sales/communications manager. they started with skateboard designs and now the company has grown to offer tee shirts, hoodies, jackets, denim, pants, and shorts.

everything is authentic, out-of-the-box, and highly-exclusive. CTRL means Ceasar, Tits, Radioactive, Lunar. now, if that isn’t different from what you expected I’m surprised. everything about this company is unique, while still maintaining a mass appeal. the designer, Freeman, say’s their clothing is inspired by African culture, the female body, color, humor, and skating. i would describe their products as fun, sexy, and timeless. check out Esa busting a funky fresh stalefish!

their clothing is also influneced by the extreme cold weather of Finnland. so, expect your CTRL hoodie to be stylish enough for the toughest fashion critics as well as super warm and well made. if you appreciate owners that are fully involved in their products you will love CTRL. props to Esa for the professionalism at MAGIC in Vegas and plugging hoodepeople.com.
