East Side Powerviolence new drop : I

by

The brainchild of PTP record label head honcho Geng, ESP (East Side Powerviolence) is a new secretive garment producer.

Self-described as “Purveyors of Weaponized Media” ESP offers a subversive take on streetwear for their latest release, citing a melding of anti-surveillance, psychological operations, and mysticism with street culture references in order to form a “counter language.”

Among the pieces being dropped are a coaches jacket, sweaters, crewnecks and an embroidered baseball cap. The latest release will be available on September 21 at 12PM EST on the official ESP shop – you can follow ESP on Instagram for more info on this drop and what’s in store for the future.

Purple Tape Pedigree ‘Bad for Education’ Lookbook by Third Looks

by

I’m proud to present the lookbook for the debut collection from New York based label Purple Tape Pedigree. The 5-piece capsule ‘Good For Health’ collection includes 2 jerseys, 2 long-sleeve t-shirts, and a collaborative PTP x Third Looks ‘Pill’ coach’s jacket. The lookbook was creative directed by yours truly and we assembled a diverse group of friends and colleagues to represent the collection. No stylists were necessary as each person worked the pieces into their own personal style.

Inspiration for the collection includes Hong Kong cinema, Japanese anime from the 80’s, 20th century Brazilian surrealist art, post-2000 A.D. cyberpunks, and the onset of big city paranoia. The gear is available now on the PTP Garment District. New York heads will be able to see the gear in person at a special pop-up event and release party on May 31st (More details to be released shortly).
