SUPREMELY INTERVIEWED

If you are regular reader of joes[a]fiend you'll know that I'm a big Supreme fan, especially the 5 panel hats. So it was great to see that Interview Magazine has managed to get hold of James Jebbia (owner and founder of Supreme) for an interview.

It's an interesting read, click here to check it out.

[T]HATS THE WAY I LIKE IT

It's safe to say joes[a]fiend has a hat fetish, mainly for Supreme's five panel hats. We just checked out the Autumn/Winter 08 season preview and it's one of the strongest collections the New York City based streetwear vanguard have dropped in a long time. Expect to see us rocking at least one of each style [not all at the same time though].

IS IT ALL GOOD IN THE HOOD?

Streetwear in London has hit a sticky patch; two of the key players in the scene have, or are, shutting up shop. Bond, the corner stone of the London scene for many years, ceased trading a little while ago. Now Foot Patrol has also announced that it is closing its doors (and cages.) With rent and rates soaring in the capital these independents are being forced out. All we need to do is look at the travesty taking place on Savile Row with the likes of Abercrombie opening its doors on the famous street.


However, in this uncertainty Good Hood opened in East London (41 Coronet Street, Hoxton London, N1 6HD.) As you can see from the images - the store looks fresh and the only thing fresher is the stock. Run by Jo and Kyle, theses guys are mad friendly. If you’re in the area check out their selection, from Perks And Mini (PAM) to Rockers NYC (two brands joes[a]fiend tips for big things.) The guys at Good Hood know what’s going on, they recently joined forces with Modular Records to exhibit the work of Bumblebeez Chris Colonna aka Prince Umberto.
