G-sus Summer!

2008-05-13T14:54:00.000-07:00

G-SUS Sindustries Now is Stock. Each piece of theirs is extremely unique. This seasons theme is Burlesque and Masquerade Ball. Also all of it is made under the Fair Ware Agreement!

About G-Sus: (from: http://www.g-sus.com/#gsus/front_page/tree/90/reffid/15/)
history
Early 1993 two Dutch designers, Jan Schrijver and Angelique Berkhout, met each other working as free-lancers. Even though the word free-lancer suggests something else, they did not feel entirely free in their roles. Together with Peter Steenstra, who was fed up with the corporate life at IBM, they decided to start their own business: a shop in Arnhem the Netherlands. On Friday the 13th, August 1993 the slogan ‘gsus is coming’ announces the arrival of a new Dutch street wear shop called “heavens playground”. Next to being a point of sale for existing brands, the shop is used as a lab for its own brand “gsus”. It turns out to be the right time for something new. With the baggy, oversized look dominating the streets, gsus introduces tight retro shirts printed with funky glitter applications. Not only the product, but also the complete story around the brand is different: a veil of mystery with an airy frivolous communication, non conforming and unique.

philosophy

At gsus we truly believe in the arrogant intuition of the creative mind. Our designers create what they want to wear themselves. Market research is taboo. We do what we like best and feel strongly about the “do it yourself” credo. That’s why we unleash our creativity not only with the designing of clothes, but also with our ads, photography, gsus store designs and even the design of the Amsterdam Headquarters. Although we’ve grown over the years, we still consider gsus our creative laboratory, or better yet, our “heavens playground”. A place where we can let our creative juices run free. We recommend you to do the same. Join us and let the world be your playground...

What's in a name?

Our brand name is a story in itself. In 1993 Coca Cola and Nike are already taken and the letter G is full of hype in its own right. Gangsta rap is rulin’, G-Love comes out with his first record and the G-spot is discovered. With wordplay, gsus refers to one of the most common names in the world. The logo, the crown of thorns, emphasises the prickliness of the brand even further. Within a few years, from the time the first tees were introduced, gsus grows from being sold out of the trunk of a car to an internationally available fashion brand. The collection and brand develop and grow without losing sight of those early stages of fun and creativity.

Lets Partay!

2007-12-11T15:33:00.000-08:00

Partay
v. to celebrate

1. It is a derivative of the intransitive verb party.

2. It is the phonetic spelling how some "people" have decided to pronounce party.

Has nothing to do with determining the attitude/type of the party. It just so happens a selective group of people(?) use this word(?) and hence, the style of the parties held are incidentally similar (e.g. usually containing loud rap or hip-hop music, an abundance of substance abuse and often a great amount of sexual promiscuity. Source: bud newman., Feb 28, 2003).

The infamous line:

"Let's partay"

This is pronounced with a definate number of exclamation marks depending on:
a) how excited you are and
b) how drunk you are.

Cited from urbandictionary.com

The Above brings you yet another party! This time the day after Christmas. Free admission and 18+! Look forward to seeing everyone there.

Good Society Denim, Tank Theory, And KID ROBOT T's!

2007-12-08T17:12:00.000-08:00

Just in we just received the Good Society Slim Selvage. Good Society is a company with its mind on Global Preservation, each pair is made of 100% Organic Cotton and uses only 100% indigo dye which is both safe for the environment and also gives a much better ware. They use a lot of lost great techniques including chain stitched top, yoke chain, and stitched hem, as well as hidden rivets in the back pockets. All this for only $129. You might say, "I don't like slim!" We have an answer to that, shipping very soon is a regular raw straight leg for men who likes a little more room in the thighs and legs. Also you might say, "But, I'm a girl!?" We have that covered too, shipping with the men's is a women's raw slim straight fit with 2% Lycra for a little stretch. Both styles only $90!

Shoes courtesy of Heart and Sole Sneakers

Now available at The Above is Kid Robot Apparel. Very Limited in quantity come get these before they're gone.
