March 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

In association with Latin music icon Ozuna, the NBA and Mitchell & Ness unveiled a new limited-edition sportswear line starring the Los Angeles Lakers. The customized apparel, which includes a Lakers hoodie, Hardwood Classics jersey, t-shirt, shorts, and hat embroidered with his official logo and displays his NBA devotion, was designed by the two-time Latin Grammy Award winner.

“As a lifelong fan of the NBA, I couldn’t be more excited to launch my own Mitchell & Ness Lakers collection,” said Ozuna. “These items are particularly special because they speak to my personal style and showcase my passion for the team, which I know millions of basketball fans around the world share. To drop these pieces during Noches Éne•Bé•A while the league celebrates the Latin community makes this all the more significant.”

The partnership also occurs as the NBA commemorates NBA supporters and players from Latin American and American Hispanic communities with its 17th annual Noches Éne•Bé•A (eh-nay-bay-ah) Latin Nights program throughout the month of March. NBA teams from all throughout the league will hold team evenings and community events that feature musical performances from Latin American musicians that are culturally appropriate, in-language digital content, events, and exclusive gifts. The Noches Éne•Bé•A promotion will be present for a few nationally televised games, including the Lakers’ game against the Phoenix Suns on March 22 at 10 p.m. ET, which will be broadcast nationwide on ESPN.

Ozuna is also featured on the song “A Correr Los Lakers” which has more than 75 million views on YouTube.

Don C Named Creative Director of Premium Goods for Mitchell & Ness

February 28, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Don Crawley, professionally known as Don C, has been named the new Creative Director of Premium Goods by Mitchell & Ness, a well-known international supplier of vintage sportswear and high-end streetwear. Don C is a prominent person in streetwear culture and is frequently acknowledged as one of the most important creatives. He founded the “Just Don” brand and is the proprietor of RSVP Gallery, a Chicago, Illinois institution for fashion shopping.

The partnership between Mitchell & Ness and Don C, which began in 2011 with the introduction of the upscale Just Don hats, is strengthened by this appointment. Since then, the two have worked together on premium apparel and hat collections like “NBA Jam,” “No Name,” and others.

After Mitchell & Ness had rapid development and expansion, Don C was appointed. A strategic ownership group made up of some of the most well-known figures in sports, entertainment, and business purchased the business last year. The buyer was the global digital sports platform Fanatics.

“Don is truly an icon and visionary, and after having worked with him for many years we’re ecstatic to have him formally join the Mitchell & Ness family,” said Kevin Wulff, CEO of Mitchell & Ness. “Fans of the brand can look forward to exciting new products across all leagues that will fuse the brand’s heritage with Don C’s cutting-edge creative vision.”

One of the first joint projects is the release of the MLB “Cooperstown Collection” in April around MLB’s season start, in addition to offering a fresh set of ideas and culturally important moments for the brand. Just Don premium shorts honoring the MLB’s most recent expansion teams, the Colorado Rockies, Florida Marlins, Arizona Diamondbacks, and Tampa Bay Rays, will be part of the launch.

“Working with Mitchell & Ness is a dream come true,” said Don C of the project. “I grew up on throwbacks and sportswear, so it’s an honor to be able to impact something that affected me so much through my creative journey and love of sports. I’m looking forward to storytelling and creating more timeless products alongside the Mitchell & Ness team.”

Fans can shop the Mitchell & Ness x Just Don collection featuring NBA, MLB, and NFL apparel at www.mitchellandness.com.

February 25, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Friday night, the Universal Hip Hop Museum and Video Music Box brought together prominent Hip Hop heads to celebrate 50 years of Hip Hop fashion.

Everyone from rapper Fat Joe, Vinnie of Naughty By Nature to Stylist Misa Hylton sat front row watching fashions from the designers that dressed our favorite rap stars.

The Universal Hip Hop Museum–which opens in 2024–partnered up with the Video Music Box and the Mayor’s Office of the City of New York to kick-off the 50th Anniversary celebration of Hip Hop culture with “The Drip: 50 Years of Hip Hop Fashion,” a live runway show held at The Venue at the Hard Rock Hotel Times Square.

Nostagic videos played on the gian screen as fashion design legends Karl Kani, April Walker, FUBU and Dapper Dan revealed clothing from their newest collections.

The show also included emerging designers Malik Dupri, Haus of Swag, Riche Threads and Pepper Jacques. Mayor Eric Adams was in the building and paid homage to the groundbreaking designers, The Shirt Kings, who started in the early 80s. The fashion show also introduced I.C.Y. Inspire Creative Youth and their mission to create elevation platforms for inner city youth around the world.

DJ Ralph McDaniels, creator of Hip Hop’s longest running broadcast variety show, Video Music Box and the Video Music Box Collection has been documenting Hip Hop culture for the past 40 years. “The Drip” included footage from a decade of original “Phat Fashion” runway shows for the audience of the next generation of Hip Hop’s designer’s, influencers, and fashionistas.

Hip Hop musical guest Special Ed surprised the crowd with the Lo-Life’s and a special performance of his classics.

“For the past 50 years, Hip Hop fashion designers have carved their own lane in the fashion industry as creative entrepreneurs. Today, you can recognize Hip Hop style no matter where you see it globally,” said Universal Hip Hop Museum Executive Director Rocky Bucano.

“The Drip” is inspired by the groundbreaking Phat Fashion Show produced by Ralph McDaniels and Video Music Box. “Hip Hop’s influence on fashion is undeniable. And young Black and Brown designers and models made their own lane when the traditional fashion industry excluded them. So today, we celebrate those original trendsetters and the future leaders of Hip Hop fashion,” said Executive Producer Ralph McDaniels.

With guidance from therapy, her faith community, her mother, and the support of her family – she is constantly learning how to communicate her undying love for her father through art expression. Additionally, to accompany the collection, Aria penned a poem entitled “Daughters’ Deserve Their Father.” The collection will feature selected parts of the poem and was slightly augmented to speak on behalf of all children who are grieving the loss of their father. Aria beautifully designed a heartfelt drawing that illustrates the love shared between God, father, & daughter. The design is high level screen print and comes in sweatshirts and an adult tshirt.

The New Gap x The Brooklyn Circus Campaign Honors the Late tWitch

January 31, 2023 by newhiphopnews

tWitch Yearbook Gap Campaign Publicity H 2023

Gap’s latest campaign pays tribute to Stephen “tWitch” Boss, passed away by suicide at 40 years old on December 13. Prior to his sudden passing, the adored “Ellen DeGeneres Show” DJ and dancer, posed in front of the camera for The Gap’s upcoming collaboration with Haitian-owned menswear label The Brooklyn Circus.

Boss began his career alongside Degeneres as a guest DJ for her talk show in 2014 and became a co-executive producer in 2020. The Gap × The Brooklyn Circus campaign features other stars such as “Pose” actress Indya Moore, “Euphoria” star Javon Walton and model and activist Bethann Hardison.

This collaboration “explores the concepts of individuality, movement and modern prep — blending academia, music and Black culture and street style from the 1960s through today,” said the press release.

Over the last 50 years, The Gap has expanded into seven different brands, especially loved by active consumers of different crafts. Signature styles from both brands are represented, like the cuffed chinos and varsity jacket modeled by Boss in the campaign.

“The Brooklyn Circus and Gap share in the heartbreaking loss of beloved icon Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss, who was a longtime supporter of the BKc community, [founder and creative director] Ouigi’s work and a core part of this campaign thanks to his personal friendship with Ouigi Theodore,” a press release for the campaign reads.

Allison Holker Boss, the late dancer and choreographer’s wife, shared a sentimental statement as well that read, “When Stephen and I first saw his images from the campaign, it brought tears to our eyes. He was so moved by how they captured his true essence, and he was excited for the world to see them. We pay tribute to Stephen’s life by sharing these images in homage to the joy and light he brought to everyone around him.”

He and Holker celebrated their ninth wedding anniversary just days before his death. They have three children together: Weslie, 14, Maddox, 6, and Zaia, 3.

Gap further announced that it will support the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline by donating to Vibrant Emotional health in Boss’ honor. This organization provides free and confidential around-the-clock emotional support and care to those in need.

The line will be released on both brands’ websites Tuesday and will also be available to shop at select Gap stores as well as The Brooklyn Circus’ Boreum Hill flagship location.

Adidas Loses Lawsuit Against Luxury Brand for Using Stripes in Designs

January 17, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Luxury designer Thom Browne won a suit in a trademark infringement lawsuit filed by Adidas. A New York jury rejected Adidas’s claim that Brown’s three-striped designs were too similar to the company’s.

Trademark infringement is the unauthorized use of a trademark or service mark. This use can be in connection with goods or services and may lead to confusion, deception, or a misunderstanding about the company a product or service came from. Trademark owners can take legal action if they believe their marks are being infringed. If an infringement of a trademark is proven, a court order can prevent a defendant from using the spot, and the owner may be awarded monetary relief.

In the lawsuit, Browne’s defended his design by arguing that the two companies are not direct competitors and do not serve the same consumer market. According to the Associated Press, the dispute goes back 15 years. After Browne agreed to shift to a four-stripe design, Adidas did not argue. However, as Browne became more prominent after the 2018 sale, he began expanding further into activewear, and the sportswear giant took notice.’

Adidas claimed that Browne tried to imitate their logo “in a manner that is likely to cause consumer confusion and deceive the public.” Browne had already agreed to add a fourth stripe to end any confusion potentially. However, the court ruled that the stripes were a common design.

The lawsuit went to trial last week, with Adidas seeking $867,225 in damages and another $7 million that it claimed was equivalent to Thom Browne’s profit. The two-week trial concluded when the eight-person jury returned its verdict in less than two hours. In his closing argument, Thom Browne’s attorney argued that consumers don’t confuse the two brands: Adidas is a sportswear company, while Thom Browne is a fashion house.

Adidas said it plans to appeal the ruling. “We are disappointed with the verdict and will continue to vigilantly enforce our intellectual property, including filing any appropriate appeals,” a spokesman said.
