BWGH 2012 Fall/Winter New Releases

Bwgh-2012-fall-winter-new-rele

Ironically, BWGH — also known as Brooklyn We Go Hard — is not a Brooklyn-based label at all but the joint efforts of two Parisien friends. Fusing interests in fashion and photography, the pair started out hawking T-shirts bearing prints of photos taken in Brooklyn. The label has since expanded to include full collections of playful takes on classics —  tees, shirts, sweaters and pants often inspired by their photographs and filtered through a chic Parisien aesthetic. For Fall 2012, BWGH has maintained the core of its clothing collections — original graphic T-shirts — as well as ‘Brooklyn Parle Francais’ crewneck sweaters with corduroy elbow patches and ethnic-inspired pocket tees. A selection of their new releases are available now at our online store.

As running shoes continue to make the rounds amongst the fashion set, luxury fashion labels are capitalizing on the trend by releasing their own iterations. The latest to do so is Louis Vuitton, who have just released a pair of python skin sneakers. Fashioned in a black and brown colorway with olive accents, the sneaker features the luxury label’s signature logo on the tongue and side of the sole. Look for these snake runners at select Louis Vuitton retailers with an approximate retail price of $1530 USD.
