In commemoration of HBO's latest epic, "You Don't Know Jack", we will be dropping an exclusive tee! Dr. Jack Kevorkian, or "Dr. Death" as he is known in some circles, has been both praised and ridiculed for his beliefs in assisted suicide for the terminally ill. He served time in prison and was released early, only after vowing never to assist in a death again. The THANATOS (demon personification of death) tee will be available in 1 colorway this Saturday at our ONLINE SHOP for the start of the HBO movie.

“My clothes are not about fashion — it’s about timelessness. That’s how to continue to grow for 42 years. It’s about what I see and what I love. I believe in what my vision is: ageless and timeless, but contemporary. I want to be now: a new Old World.”

The lovely ladies of The Fresh Fiends and Cubannie Links teamed up to make this super limited edition bracelet appropriately named, "The Fresca" (The FRESH Bracelet). Per the press release: The bracelet boasts a large, black metal chain and hand-sewn, black lace tubing on top of gold metallic leather. In addition to Cubannie Links' signature toggle closure, The Fresca features a coordinating gold chain. Photographed by Evan Gunville, the girls once again do a superb job showing off their styling, directing, AND modeling skills. Triple threats indeed! Pre-orders are available via The Fresh Fiends online store (for $40) and all pieces will be shipped by April's end.

Its been a couple of days since our return from one of the greatest cities in the country. A place where a single person can lead multiple lives of movie star, seamstress, bum, addict, chef, & child... all at the same time.

We went for the resources, but fell in love with the food. LA will def be seeing more of us in the near future, and from that, DD will flourish.

Stay tuned.
