Press Update : March 18, 08
Plain Gravy’s appeal is one that is hard to resist to THE sound makers of our generation. This month we caught Spank Rock and Pedro Winter in Paris wearing some key pieces from the fall 08 collection. Spank Rock wore the Airbrush Crew also featured in the latest issue of french magazine Clark. Pedro Winter wore the Axl Rose T-shirt while djing a Paris Fashion Week Party. This may be one of his favorite shirts; his was much more washed out than the one we spotted DJ Stretch Armstrong wearing at the GenArt Artizia Party in Toronto. Also be sure to check out the NYLON guys hits, that look should def go into Vice Magazines DON’T list. And to think there was a stylist on that. Whoa!

* In 2002 Kyle Demers opened Dave’s Quality Meat (DQM), and created what he calls a ‘local destination’ for his crew of biker, skater, and straight up lurking dudes. Designed as a butcher shop to give the idea of fresh product, DQM offers hard-to-score Nike kicks and a highly edited-to-taste apparel selection in the Bowery. A visit to Dave’s Quality Meat will have you salivating over seasoned labels like DQM, Huf, Reining Champ, Vans, Reason, Real Mad Hectic, and Plain Gravy. Amongst the saran wrapped tees and plastic lettuce cooler case, NY kids can find ‘a piece of the lifestyle’. DQM crew has a strict eye for street style and nothing but the choice cuts make it past the counter. Part neighborhood base camp, part museum-quality diorama and a dash of actual retail establishment, the DQM hangout is one of the areas most pertinent trademark’s for street style._

The Looks

We are thrilled to announce the launch of Cyana Boutique, an online shop from a stylists perspective. Cyana Boutique is made up of hand selected items of our favorite upcoming designers. Everything on the online is available in very limited quantities, if not only one. These items can be from past seasons or upcoming seasons that have not yet hit. Sometimes we get super lucky and we get our hands on one of a kind, never produced samples, those are the best! We all know that the pieces that do not make production are usually the coolest pieces which buyers are not confident enough to push. So here they are for the fashion hunters. Above are 2 looks from Cyana Boutique. “The Looks” is our favorite section and the foundation concept of the online. This is where people are styled in gear available online and shot by our favorite LA paparazzi, Joe. The Photograph is then dissected, highlighting all the pieces of the outfit and making them just a click away from purchasing. Brands available online: Aiaiai, And i, Art Force One, Epic Firm, Kanvis, Nic Nat, NSF, PHCY, Plain Gravy, Posso the Spat, Silver Spoon Attire, Stampd’, Toy Me, Unif, Vintage
