Fresh Faces #2 - Krisp Tees

Here it is--our second installment of 'Fresh Faces' feature series and this time we're shedding some light on the hip/hop inspired up and coming clothing company, Krisp Tees.

"Rethink Your Style.  Get Krisp."

Begun in November of 2010, Krisp Tees is the brainchild of young Arizona clothing designer, Kolby Nielsen.  Mr. Nielsen started Krisp Tees as a way to express how he felt both about life and hip/hop culture.  Inspired by the likes of Mac Miller, Wiz Khalifa, J. Cole, Wale, Curren$y, Big Sean, and Shawn Christopher, Krisp Tees is a breath of fresh air for a new generation of music.  Here's a little more about Kolby and Krisp Tees.

What inspired you to get into the clothing design game? 
I've always been into designing things. In high school I used to make sigs for athletes like LeBron James, Larry Fitzgerald and Amare' Stoudemire. At one point I took one of the sigs and put it on a shirt. Thats basically how it all began. I figured if I was going to spend so much time on a project, might as well make some money off of it.

Where do you draw inspiration for your designs?
Music, music & more music. I am constantly checking blogs for the newest music. I listen to a lot of hip-hop, R&B and some rock, but mostly rap. I also watch a lot of ESPN and comedy shows. 

What effect do you think hip-hop and music in general have had upon your designs and fashion in general? 
I see artists like Wiz, Curren$y & XV wearing dope shirts and thats where I want to end up. If I hear a tight line in a song, I write it down. Then I spend time visualizing  "How can I take what they just said and make it into a design that other people would like."  So more than an inspirations, its aspirations that draws me to make better and better designs.

What's it like being a young, up and coming clothing designer?  Where do you see Krisp Tees in a year? 
Its challenging because you only have one shot to impress potential buyers. If they see a whack design, they might not ever check out your stuff ever again. In a year, I hope to have Krisp Tees in a couple of stores here in Arizona. I have already had a couple of orders from France, Germany & Australia.

What advice would you give to those who aspire to design clothes for a living? 
Don't give up. Keep doing designs and come up with as many as possible. All it takes is one design for you to propel your brand into the game. Also get a good team behind you. It takes more than 1 person to run a company, no matter how small or big you are.

What new stuff does Krisp Tees have in store for us in the near future? 
We got some new shirts coming out at the end of February, gonna be dope. Collaboration projects with some up & coming hometown artists like PBC Tha Clique, Ozone & SpadeMacc. Be on the lookout for some contest giveaways and options about reppin' the Krisp Tees name.

The White Stripes Call It Quits

One of rock music's biggest names is now calling it quits.  The White Stripes have announced on their website that they have officially broken up.  The official announcement states--

"The reason is not due to artistic differences or lack of wanting to continue. "It is for a myriad of reasons, but mostly to preserve what is beautiful and special about the band and have it stay that way."

Apparently Jack White's Third Man Records label will continue releasing some of the lesser-known stuff the duo had worked on in the past, but the group is officially done.  The rest of the announcement can be read HERE.


In honor of the White Stripes entirely too brief but beautiful musical career, here are a couple classic videos:

Louis C.K. might be the funniest man alive today.  Yeah, I said it--deal with it.  There is nothing the man says that is not funny.  His show on FX, Louie, is a sarcastic, hilarious laugh riot that I must insist everyone watch.  Seriously, go watch it.  Anyways, Louis has released a couple of comedy albums in his comedic career and here comes another--Hilarious.  Hilarious is an honest-to-god work of art and I'm glad that I can share some of it with you. A couple of parts from the show are down below and more can be found HERE.  Enjoy.

Mike Posner feat. Lil' Wayne - "Bow Chicka Wow Wow"

Alright here's a new track by Mike Posner with some guest vocals by none other than the superstar Lil' Wayne.  I honestly don't know how I feel about this one yet but I figure I'll let everyone decide for themselves.  I think it could definitely make some panties drop, but what else would you expect from these two?
