Gwen Stefani Wears PVBLIC!

What do you think Gwen Stefani wore when she dropped off Zuma at school today? PVBLIC, of course! Must have been chilly this morning in Cali too - she layered our "Alaska Edition" leggings up like a badass with a tuxedo blazer, diamond pattern coat, scarf, fedora, boots and those signature red lips. Amazing!

PVBLIC at United Arrows Japan

Winter is finally approaching and our cozy Ukraine Edition hoodies have arrived just in time to legendary Japanese department store, United Arrows. If you're in Japan visit UA or shop online.

Will the World End in 2012?

Many of our "Mesoamerica Edition" styles have hit England retailer Chatsubo, including one of our limited edition PVBLIC X STICKS & STONES shirts. We did a collaboration with the Portland jewelry company in honor of 2012. Our boys over there created a beautiful pyramid brooch using their signature stacked wood and a Jade cabochon jewel. It fits perfectly in the print on our cozy B.U.M equipment style raglan, which is basically astronomical coordinates regarding the Mayan Apocalypse. Will the world really end? Who knows...but the Mayans knew their shit when it comes to the stars in the sky.

So if you're in England and celebrating the end of days this December, why not check out Chatsubo and get one of these limited editions for yourself?

PVBLIC featured on Germany's Flashback Mag Site!

Germany's Flashback Magazin has featured PVBLIC's Spring '13 "Galapagos Edition" on their website. This is the link to the translated page and it describes us as a "Super Good Mood"...ha! So I don't think that translation is quite right but hey, at least we're not described as being grouchy. Anyway, thanks FlashbackMag!

"Ukraine Edition" Has Hit Stores!

We finally shipped the first delivery of Fall '12 "Ukraine Edition", our favorite and proudest collection to date. The full collection can be found on our website here.

During the design phase of "Ukraine" and all the heavy duty research we put into this one, a lot of Gogol Bordello was playing at the PVBLIC studio....particularly their version of the Ukrainian Gypsy folk song "Lela Pala Tute". Check out the boys from Gogol, Eugene & Sergey, mashing up "Lela" with Madonna's classic "La Isla Bonita" at the Live Earth festival from a few years back. Talk about a culture smash! Love this, especially the last couple of minutes. Uhmazing.

Spring '13 "Galapagos Edition" Photo Shoot Preview

Last week on a hot summer day, kick-ass photographer Jason Rodgers shot the campaign for our upcoming Spring/Summer '13 collection "Galapagos Edition" in an artist's studio in Williamsburg. We couldn't be more grateful and in love with the results! The gorgeous Madeleine from Marilyn agency was our female model and upcoming male model Manuel Mendez rocked the men's looks. Thanks to Ahbi Nishman who did the beachy hair and bronzy, summer make-up.

Special thanks to our super-fab intern Krystal too and to Michael and Ryan for helping out. Much love.

Check out our photo journal below:

And here's a little sneak peek of one of my favorite pages of our Spring '13 Lookbook:

Cut & Paste, Hula-Hoop Madness! KENZO Video Lookbook.

This is a must see!!!

It's the KENZO video lookbook for their Pre-Autumn 2012 Collection. They teamed up with amazing film director Quentin Jones for this super fun video. The music and art direction is just fabulous, and the clothes speak for themselves.

Check it out here:

Is our Ekwok Pant in Your Top Ten?

Shout out to Gabby Etrog Cohen, director of PR for hot spinning studio SoulCycle. Gabby listed our favorite "Ekwok Traditional" Pant as one of her Top Ten Things on shopping site, Beso.com. Our founder Jayme definitely agrees, he wears them suckers like every single day and even cut a pair into shorts. Hilarious side note: Many people accidentally refer to them as "Ewok" pants, like the furry creatures from Star Wars as opposed to the lovely Yupik village in Alaska they were truly named after. Hee!

Annnyway, if you're looking for a pair to add to your own top ten, they still have a few left at Kitson!

More Mermaid Hair...

I just could't resist.

Mermaid Hair...

It's that multi-tasking time of year for us here at PVBLIC headquarters. We're not only gearing up to ship Fall '12 "Ukraine Edition", but we're also putting the finishing touches on designing our Spring '13 line and for some reason it's got me all about the mermaid hair. Sephora's got a great Pinterest board about such fun things and the below tutorial could not be more "Galapagos Edition". Yep, there I said it, off to the magical islands of the Galapagos are where we're headed next and this chick's hair is so reminiscent of our Spring color palette. Try it out if you just happen to be feeling like an enchanted creature of the sea today.

I meant to post this for the Summer Solstice, but since the season's just begun and the 4th is tomorrow it's not to late to share...

Kim Jones Does it Again.

If you were lucky to be in Paris the other night and were fabulous enough to be invited, you would have witnessed a super hot show: the S/S 2013 Louis Vuitton menswear collection designed by the one and only Kim Jones. Jones's dope styling and design aesthetic definitely showed in what was dubbed "Water to Earth" and brought a new and refreshing feel to the typical nautical looks you've seen before. Pops of neon added a fresh twist to the classic Vuitton brand.

You can check out the full show here.

Rihanna Killing it in Hackney, UK Wearing Nike Air Yeezy 2.

I watched Rihanna's whole performance at BBC Radio 1's Hackney Weekend and in my opinion, it was the probably best show of her career. On top of that, she was rocking the super exclusive Nike Air Yeezy 2. I caught people almost a week in advance waiting on line at my local Foot Locker. Crazy! Who am I to talk, it's not like I didn't try to win them in every online contest I could find...

Anyway, check out the show in full below:
