Today I checked out all the shows that was happening in New York city this week,
Project Show,
Blue Collective, and
Capsule Show. The Project show is the denim and
streetwear show, started out in New York but now it happens in New York and Las Vegas and now is owned by Magic. Blue and Collective show is operated by ENK which is the closest competitor to Magic. Blue is their denim and casual wear section and Collective are the more formal lines are. Capsule is the new cool kid on the block. More hipster and underground lines, it’s all the new stuff the cool kids are wearing. Don’t get it mistaken, it’s not as underground as you might think, these are top lines in all the big important retailers, they are just less commercial than the competitors at the other shows.
The economy sucks. As I was talking to a close friend in the industry who’s ear is on the street all times tells me that everyone is having trouble paying. Even the big shops are asking for extensions and will only take consignments from any new designers. All the shops in LA are doing horrible. New York is not that great either. One of the top shops here in New York, Lounge has closed down. But they opened a new store but it’s a discount place now. He tells me this new game the retailers are playing. Changing company names but keeping their shop and ignoring the accounts payable. It’s a difficult time for all. But he’s optimistic about the international market, for extending his line anyways.
He’s in the premium streetwear market and he tells me the spending of $100+ on tees are long gone. Everyone is lowering their price points.
What does this mean for brands and buyers. They are cutting back on their trips and tradeshows. As everyone know the Vegas shows are the essential shows many brands have elected not to do New York shows. As this have been happening for a while now even before the meltdown. And the buyers are cutting back and not attending New York shows either since they have go to Las Vegas to see all the lines.
It was my first time at the ENK Blue Collective show. It has a nice set up, at Pier 94, quite a distance away from the subway so it was hard to get to. It was very small and traffic wasn’t that good. A rep I spoke to told me that by far Project is much better. Saw a couple of interesting lines, it was my first time seeing Desigual from Spain. A very colourful line that just entered the US market for a couple of seasons and have been in Canada for a few seasons now. However it’s quite big in Europe and opened a store on Broadway downtown Manhatten this past April.
Project New York was next. They moved from the Javitz convention centre to the Lexington Armory, which was really not close to anything. I went in and after a little while I figured it out. It’s about half the size of last year which was already very small. People just wasn’t getting the value in paying for a booth and not enough buyer’s were coming to the event. Saw a couple of cool lines of jeans which has crazy washes and detailing, Red Pepper and Vintage Laundry. Check them out. They are kind of unknown so it’s going to be hard to find them.
Jumped in the shuttle taxi which Project New York offers and headed to Capsule down at the church. It was pretty packed last year, see photos and blog. It was still pretty packed this year. Looks like things are getting better for this show. This is a show that everyone talks about. Very hipster underground New York kind of things. Met the guys behind Naked and Famous which is my favourite line of denim. Also saw this pretty cool line right before I left down in the basement, Shades of Greige.
I know last year they had a waiting list for Capsule and that’s why this show is packed. This year Capsule is going to Vegas, interesting to see how they will compete there. I see Capsule as a New York style kind of show, it definitely has it’s own niche.
You might think that with the bad economy there will be less lines and stores attending Las Vegas but I predict otherwise, it will be just as big as all the previous seasons. There’s a new show called Premium at Magic. The popular Project Las Vegas will be cut in half and the half it cut will be at Premium. Heard that the buyers are more diverse and have higher price points at this show. I think that’s where JUZD will end up being. But even with the bad economy it won’t slow down the show, this is once in the year where the lines meet to get orders from their buyers, no way they will miss out on that.

I must admit, there is something about Shia LaBeouf’s dirty, rugged, and vintage look that I just can’t get enough of. Most times, he does pull this image off quite successfully and the way the boy wears a fitted tee is impressive to say the least.
With saying that, something went terribly wrong when Shia decided to put this outfit together. Coutos to him for being bold enough to sport those purple pants!!! I actually kind of enjoy them on him , however that cardigan and that old Harley Davidson tee don’t mesh well together. It comes off as three totally different styles in one outfit. Rule of thumb ; try to stick to one overall style at a time, things get to messy if not! To many trends (+) to many creative ideas
always equals (=) fashion disaster.
Since Shia was confident enough to put on the purple skinnys, I think we can work around them when we match them up with a basic black crew neck
Juzd tee. What guy doesn’t look great in a Basic crew neck? Better yet, what guy wouldn’t enjoy looking great in one of the most comfortable tees he will ever put on. The basic crew neck is made from
Juzd’s signature bamboo with the
Juzd classic fit and feel where you can find online on
Juzd Shop for $41.40
All we really have to do now is throw away that powdered blue knit cardigan and swap it for a great asymmetrical urban outfitters black cardigan. Give the boy some high top, classic black and white converse and he is set to go.

Remember that heat wave several years back when we thought we might as well fry our eggs on the sidewalk? Well, we have something else that can smoke up the sidewalk these days – this awesome outfit worn by model Veronika.
Seen in a black Stylez tee, Veronika pairs her smoking look with a denim miniskirt, dogtag necklace, and bracelet from Suzanne Lorraine. But considering that every fashionista should protect themselves from the bright summer sun, Veronika also sports a pair of imported sunglasses from Hong Kong.
Get this look online:
1. Make sure you have your Stylez tee to rock this ensemble, found online at the JUZD Shop
2. Pick up a similar denim skirt, the Bleach Frayed Denim Skirt from Forever 21 for only $19.90 USD
3. Don’t blind yourself from the sizzle you create by grabbing a pair of funky shades, also from Forever 21, for only $5.80 USD!

What do we love more than when JUZD gets noticed? Obviously, we love it when affiliates of JUZD gets recognition for their hard work! Product model for the Big 2-5 handmade shirt (i.e. your sure invite to Chris Bosh’s 25th birthday bash) Veronika London got noticed by always trendy HBO.
London will be featured in the series “Lingerie,” which is set to premier this summer, as a model named Cindy. The series, set in the modeling mecca of New York City, follows models behind the scenes and allows viewers to witness these young beautiful women learn the tough lessons of the business at the hands of unscrupulous photographers and directors.
When asked about what she thought of her role in “Lingerie,” London was delighted to reply:
“The experience has been surreal. I had a chance to work with an amazing cast and crew and directors that really knew how to communicate with actors to get the type of shots they wanted . Acting is definitely my number one passion. I’ve had a chance to see the first episode . The opening scene is actually a photoshoot of me! I found it really funny how I ended up playing a model on TV when modeling wasn’t even my plan to persue but it seems to be what is opening doors. At the moment the show is only airing in the shoot and will come in Canada in the fall or in the new year !”
Keep on the lookout for this great show to soon grace your television screens, as well as for other JUZD affiliates who may make it big!

Its completely understandable when a girl is on the go and she doesn’t have that much time to put a fabulous outfit together. Nevertheless, Ashley Tisdale’s attempt here for a casual trendy “look” failed horribly.
The sneakers and the high socks should never have happened!! Especially with the combination of a white tee and true religion hat. The overall look seems a bit to hard for Ashley’s usual classy style.
Its defiently possible to brighten Ashley’s look up, while still creating a casual cool on-the-go style. Lets start by re-styling Ashley in a Juzd “The Big 25″ female black tee (which was designed in honor of Chris Bosh for his 25th birthday.) The tee is basic black with the number 25 making a gold statement at the front. It’s a great crewneck cut along with the comfort that it brings from the 95% bamboo and 5% spandex.
The Big 25 tee also pairs very nicely with Ashley’s black leggings. To complete the restyle and to add some color to the darkness of the ensemble, we will add a multi color Tolani scarf. Continuing to work our way down lets repeat the gold from our Juzd tee and add some Steve Madden t-strap ruffled sandals. The final touch will be a Mui Mui soft black leather shoulder bag!
See you can do a casual fabulous style without spending hours in your closet! Oh and Ashley…loose the ball cap all together

Where we picture Clark Kent pulling apart the buttons of his dress shirt to reveal Superman, we can easily picture the unleashing of another power, that of being JUZD.
As Craig pulls back his jacket to reveal more of the Stylez JUZD tee, we find that he has already energized his look with a snazzy watch, and pair of distressed jeans!

We were surprised to find an article on us several days ago on SoJones, but we were even more stoked when we found another article the next day on Green Diary!An online blog that focuses on eco-friendly products and lifestyles, Green Diary examines how JUZD leads the pack in using bamboo as a sustainable fabric. In addition to discussing the exclusivity of the line and its urban style, Green Diary also does a comparison between cotton and bamboo to better inform its readers on making this great fabric choice!
