Cult of Individuality
Eastcoast Representatives |

|
Cult of Individuality has launched for the Sprint 2009 season to help people reclaim their youthful spirit. The line prides itself on well-fitting, well-priced jeans that remind people of their favorite old pair. Every person has a pair of favorite jeans, past or present. That one pair they've loved the most. These jeans have seen the good times and the bad times. That pair, no matter how old and beat up they may be, people just can't seem to part with -- even just to wash them. They are a canvas of the owner's life experiences. If the jeans could tell a story, oh what a story it would be. This is what Cult of Individuality is all about; a pari of jeans that defines you, that stirs those emotions. They're weathered, worn, and personal. Inspired by classic cuts and vintage washes, incorporating Japanese denim, Cult of Individuality jeans are designed to look and fit like you've had them for years. Denim has always been a key element of fashion and a staple in every person wardrobe. Jeans have become a cult phenomenon -- no matter your personal style, everyone is searching for the perfect pair. While everyone has a different definition of perfect, Cult of Individuality believes that jeans should feel like your own the moment you put them on. With all the different styles and washes available, jeans have evolved into a form of self-expression and individuality. It was with this in mind that Cult of Individuality was born. You've just found a long lost pair of jeans that went missing many years ago. |

G-Shock
National Representation |
||
|
G-Shock is the ultimate tough watch. It was born from a developer's dream of "creating a watch that never breaks." Guided by a "Triple 10" development concept, the design teams sought a watch with 10-meter free-fall endurance, 10-bar water resistance and a 10-year battery life. At a time when it was commonly believed that watches were breakable items, G-Shock's development represented a challenge to common sense. The number of experimental prototypes built for endurance testing reached over 200. And the structural development and parts improvement took approximately two years. After a long, hard process of trial and error, G-Shock was finally launched. A shock resistant structure that overturned conventional thinking about watches was realized thorough breakthrough thinking, including the ideas of a hollow- structured case, all-directional protective covering and the use of cushioning material to protect critical parts. These were the fruits of technological development that insisted on "toughness" and a revolution in watch design. Since its launched, G-Shock has continued to evolve for 25 long years, carrying on the toughness of spirit and uncompromising passion that led its developers to persist in their unshakable belief. |

Generic Man
National Representation & International Management |
||
|
The Generic Story Originally founded in 1997 in a NYC loft by Kevin Carney, the generic man collection came about in 2006, as Brandon Day and Kevin Carney began what they call "a case study in adultism", a journey to define what it means to be an "adult" these days. Through a process of research, experience and discussion "the generic man" lifestyle of the "Newdult" took shape. The Newdult is tiring of streetwear and the high price of luxury. In response, "the generic man" has created thoughtfully priced luxury for this new modern adult. Who is The Generic Man? The generic man doesn't need branding and logos to make him feel confident or stylish. He understands the significance of quality construction and clean, simple, refined lines. The generic man is confident enough in himself to accept simplicity. |

After chasing the sweet ladies together in grade school, and pranking teachers in junior high, Spanky, Morris, Donald, Dutch, and Wilbur discovered an even better pastime in High School, namely: making art, and putting it on shirts. All with a little help from t.h.c., and so the Los Angeles Tree House Club was born. |

Molami
National Representation |
||
|
The brainchild of industrial designer Maria von Euler, Molami’s beginnings can be traced back to Maria’s studies at design school in Stockholm, Sweden. Her experience working with Zound Industries during a break between classes inspired her degree project, which ultimately led to the inception of Molami. During the next several years Maria incorporated the process of tailoring and fashion design – how materials and shapes flatter the female form – into a methodical industrial design approach. Using this approach, she sculpted headphones that frame and enhance the features of the feminine face. This has never been done in the headphone industry. Maria’s meticulous attention to detail can be seen in each pair of Molami headphones – from the tailored silhouette of each model down to the braided textile-wrapped cords and discreet accents plated in gold and silver. Today Molami can be seen on individuals who share Maria’s vision of wearable sound. Where headphones are designed from a fashion standpoint, worn as a selected accessory and tailored for the contemporary individual. |
