Cars.. brings out the best in Design..

I just wanted to touch on the Design elements that go into the production of Automobiles.. I have an appreciation on the functionality,technology, and design of Cars.. Take a look at some of the dopest the world has to offer in design and technology.. Belive it or not we apply some of the elements you see in these cars to our garments and you can find them in your favorite sneakers as well. Maybe one day I can have a 300 Car collection like Jay Leno.. Hopefully this post will motivate you to go cop a tee or hoody from the store, I promise if I can ever cop a couple of these beasts I'll keep a couple open for Cerbae customer use.. Real Talk! ;)

American Muscle.. There's been a definite up swing in performanc with the American auto groups.. Kinda like the muscle car explosion in the late 60's and early 70's.. that's how American automotive made it's name.. The good thing about these cars are they are a lot more affordable and with the available performance upgrades you can compete with anything out there. They might miss a couple of the luxury details but you get bang for your buck mayne.. That's more money you can spend on looking fresh so you're not driving a Ferrari sporting some but huggers and an extra medium polo handed down from your older cuzzo..

The Corvette ZR1.. if you really want to boss up cop one of these this year! You'll run any stock car from here to Africa off the block! And it's made in America.. bout time we started surpassing those Euro cars.. haha..

The Hennessey Viper Venom 650R.. Hennessey and Dodge team up to make some of the worlds fastest cars.. try to keep all four down when driving one of these.. yeeee!

The Ford GT, a collector muscle car.. They go! You won't see too many around.

The Dodge Charger SRT8.. I got one of these. Can't go wrong with a four door mob shot that you can whip it in and have enough room for a foursome with 3 amazon models?? A couple performance upgrades and you can be competing with the Lambo that the Amazon model's boyfriend drives..


The challenger.. an american muscle car classic is brought back looking real strong and mean! The frisco Orange is a nice color too..

The Cadillac CTS V, probably will be the fastest four door car out.. cop one and shit on all these momma's boys driving around LA in thier BMW's and Mercedes.. haha..

The 2010 Camaro.. lots of hype around this one. If you're lucky you'll buy the one that turns into Bumble bee from Transformers and have yourself a personal body guard to go along with your block burner!


The Shelby mustang super snake.. it sure looks mean but probably can't keep up with the Corvettes and Ford GT's.. you can cop one with 700hp.. just gotta keep the wheels from spinning..



The European automotive groups are definitely on top of thier design.. Very refined and great attention to detail.. sleek and sexy cars. They also go like poop! But your gonna pay a lot more than the cost of an average shit pop! Ya get what you pay for.. most the time..

My Favorite European Speester is this Audi R8 V12 TDI.. it's actually realistic, performs, and looks super clean! Red is my color so maybe next year you can catch me running around in one of these.. if i can manage to borrow one from the Audi dealership down the street..



1 0f 20.. The Lamborghini Reventon took it's design influence from a stealth bomber.. nuff said! around $1.5 million.. around the same price as the Bugatti Veyron.. better be putting in overtime or win the lotto.




Bugatti Veyron Pur Sang.. The Veyron is the worlds fastest production street leagl car.. The design is second to none, not only does it look great it is functionable applying to speeds in excess of 250mph.. put some wings on this whip and you would take off to space.. you could probably pull a couple top notch alien beezies in this rocket.. damn.



The Bugatti/Hermes collabo.. and I thought collabos were played out! haha.. not if you're doing collabos with French couture lines and exotic cars.. you think this will ever catch on with streetwear??? I think we have something in the works.. more later.



Mobbin out of Italy is the Ferrari Scuderia.. it's new for 2008, top of the line Ferarri racing monster.. i heard it has handles.. hit corners at 100mph.. it comes with the Italian chic too..

Aston Martin V12 Vantage RS.. this is a James Bond whip strait from the British..so you know it has that sophisticated look, but it go! Won't be sippin on tea in this ride, maybe some wild turkey..

Spyker, the dutch make these and they're like hand made gucci suits.. the interior desing is so nice i wouldn't want to sit in it!





Asian Muscle.. not too many to choose from here but probably the most bang for ya buck if you wanna stunt on some ferrari's .. the Nissan GTR is just as fast or faster than most of the cars you see above and its about $70,000 rather than $700,000.. not to sterotype but damn the japanes are smart for putting this one out!! Or are they? Asian driver no surviver?.. haha.. just playin, Asians are actually the best drivers according to car insurance companies. It probably runs forever but it might fall a little short on the design end.

Big Hitter from Hawaii Leonard Peters

Our boy Leonard Peters was at the Pastry 1 year anniversary party at Mr.Chows in Beverly Hills.. I guess the Simmon's girls are putting in work with their dessert influenced shoe line.. yumm.. yumm..
On the other hand, Leonard Peters is one of the best safties to come out of the hard hitting University of Hawaii football program.. If you remember, Reggie Bush quoted Leonard as the hardest hitter he ever played against in college ball.. Hopefully we'll see more of that with Leonard on Sundays!

Fashion Week


Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week has been in full swing (3/9-15) and I managed to squeeze in a show last night. Last min call from my PR buddy Candice, I headed down to the glorious Culver City to Smashbox studios. Long lines, free booze, and open seating, we finally got in.

The show started about 30min late...that'd been fine if they hadn't closed the bar 30min too early.

It was a menswear line, simple silhouettes and lots of custom pieces; suit blazers, vests, etc. A drummer and guitarist provided the live music, which added a nice element to the show (thanks for the ear plugs, Mercedes!).



The show was cool...motivating if nothing else.


It ain't New York Fashion Week, but it's all we got.
Right?

ROUGHNECK

Summer is already in the air. The days are longer and the activities are beginning. Oh, how I love to just chill. The homey Nick from Roughneck Hardware was in town and hit me up for a little roof top bbq /skateboard video showing in Echo Park. I wasn't able to see much of the video, was too busy making sure Oli didn't take a leap off the roof. Not that the lump has any hops at all.



Ollie has a new bitch.
Scored this dope Roughneck tribute to Bad Brains tee. thanks Nick.

Speaking of Bad Brains heres a nice little tribute video. Great song and Visuals.
