Traitor Video :: Gareth Pugh SS13

The soundtrack was mixed by Matthew Stone featuring a spanish version of Roy Orbison's Crying by Rebecca Del Rio.  

Stone must have been inspired by the soundtrack of David Lynch's Muholland Drive.  A movie about, Lynch describes, love.  Either way, it works and sets the mood well.

traitor current obsession

in my book, opening ceremony can't do anything wrong. they're stores have yet to be outdone, I always find something i love in their collection (most recent purchase - the grunge zip bootie), and not to mention their innumerable collaborations, that often times have catapulted brands from the brink of extinction back into the fashion spotlight. they recently announced their first handbag collection, which of course i immediately needed to start saving for. 

bold, bright, beautiful design. what more can you ask for?

Krystal Simpson's style is unmistakably cool and californian. through her blog "what is reality anyway?" she shows us what the words to "california dreamin'" really mean and her effortless style. if this is reality, wake me up....

influencer :: Kate Lanphear

kate is the epitomy of downtown new york cool and with her love of bad ass accessories and balenciaga its no wonder her style is all over the blog-o-sphere. but to be a TRAITOR style influence you've got to have more than just expensive clothes. 

she believes in fashion as a form of personal expression, not as a way to enslave the human race.... in an interview with Elle.com she says:

"Thats the thing about fashion: You can use it to hide, but it's only magic when you use it to express who you really are."

thats what it really means to be a TRAITOR.

Artist :: Diego Gomez

I met Diego Gomez four or 5 years ago while I was living in San Francisco.  We reconnected this past July and I thought:  Why don't we sell Diego's pieces on Traitor?

Diego is a Graphic Designer, Illustrator, Performer, Comic Book Enthusiast, Costume Designer, Drag Queen, and most importantly an individual.

 

 

I'm not sure what inspires him but his creations are unfiltered, handmade, and raw.  I've always been drawn to people who are this unique.    

Be sure to check out his blog, DesignNurd.   Explore his peices for sale on Traitor Collective.

He creates more than just jewlery: below find a handmade corset made of mac keyboard keys and a straight jacket used to perform in.  Hopefully Diego moves to New York soon and we can collaborate more frequently.
