EGG SL*T

#faces, #food, #Friends, #Los Angeles

If every morning were an eggslut morning, my cholesterol and I would be at odds. But every now and then (especially on Mondays through Fridays) (and definitely on the weekends), it’s important to treat yourself to the fluffiest, gooiest, yolkiest, eggiest sandwich in all of Los Angeles. If you’re offended by the name, that’s too bad. Head chef Alvin and his business partner Justin, however, probably won’t be losing sleep at night (Not more than they already do, considering they’re up crackin’ eggshells before dawn).

Since they hit the streets in 2011, they’ve been protested and heckled by squeamish folks who don’t find their subversive promotion amusing. Buuuuut that’s their loss. This is the ultimate gourmet-breakfast-dispensed-from-a-truck experience, and it’s worth the wait. When I asked Alvin to tell me the sluttiest thing about eggslut, he replied “The whore hours. I don’t think any trucks are up getting ready at 3am like we are.”

For cheesy updates (see what I did there?), eggslut hours and locations, follow them on twitter, and be sure to check our blog next week for the video interview with eggslut co-founders, Alvin and Justin.

Remember Denise? She’s back by popular demand, modeling our fan favorite Juniper Sweatshort from The Hundreds’ Summer 2013 collection. Take my word for it, these shorts are as comfortable as Denise makes them look. Check out the rest of the photos from Van’s shoot, here.

RAPID FIRE :: Q&A WITH BRODINSKI OF BROMANCE

#collaborations

It’s been a hot minute since we waved au revoir to the last of our The Hundreds X Bromance stock. Fortunately for our French following (and those willing to fork over the extra di-dough for incurred shipping rates), Club 75’s got the international exclusive to the hard (scratch that, virtually impossible)-to-come-by capsule collection. To celebrate the occasion, we stole Bromance brainchild Louis Brodinski away from his busy schedule and hit him with a lightning speed round of rapid-fire questions. The Hundreds X Bromance is currently available through Club 75’s Online Shop… Read on to get the inside scoop on the collab, as well as what it takes to be part of the Bromance crew. Where do we sign up?

Can you tell us about your recent project with The Hundreds?

Recently, The Hundreds released a collaboration collection we did together between the brand and my record label, Bromance Records. Thanks to Hassan Rahim and Guillaume Berg for helping me on this one.

What’s the significance of “90026” and “75010”? We see it pop up at random throughout the collection.

90026 is the Echo Park postcode in LA, because I used to live there for a while. I’m back in Paris now, 75010, the 10th District, where our office is!

The entire line is black. Is black your favorite color / Do you abide by the code “all black everything” when you’re getting dressed in the morning?

Are we considering black as a color? I’m definitely “all black everything,” but sometimes when it’s sunny I’m wearing a white T-shirt… that’s not that much ahah!

Who’s a part of the Bromance fam? And can we join?

The family is getting pretty big… from Manu Barron, my manager and associate on Bromance; Guillaume, Ed & Elena, our team in Paris; all the artists, Monsieur Monsieur, Club Cheval, Panteros 666, Louisahhh, Pipes, G. Vump, and of course Gesaffelstein.

Send me good music and I will join you guys to the team!

What inspired the name Bromance?

The fact that we are always spending time together, and our relations are far more than a working/friend relationship. The only word that can describe it was a Bromance, so I didn’t hesitate that much. And after all, it starts the same as Brodinski!

What inspires you creatively? Musically?

Pretty much everything, from travelling to pure art… I’m looking for inspiration all the time. People are also inspiring, so I love meeting and working with them.

Any plans to play a show in the US in the near future?

Yes! Next week in New York, Detroit and San Diego. Then I will come back for Hard Summer in August! Excited!!

Any last words?

Loved working with The Hundreds! Long life to the brand, and thank you for the opportunity!

DARK DAYS :: IN THE STUDIO WITH PHOTOGRAPHER AMANDA DEMME

#Friends, #Los Angeles

Inspiration is everywhere. And inspiration is everyone.

Whenever I get asked that question in interviews – “Where do you find inspiration?” – I always have trouble with it. Inspiration isn’t something you necessarily go out there and seek; if you’re prone to it, and open, it always finds you. And for me, it resides most viscerally and shines the utmost brilliance within people. I’ve been inspired by parking lot attendants to world-class artists, 3-year-olds to rockstar chefs. And then I’m totally inspired by photographers like Amanda Demme.

In this life, she’s a photographer and a mother, and widow of famed director Ted Demme. But in the several existences prior, she was a music supervisor (Garden State, Mean Girls), a manager (Cypress Hill, House of Pain, DJ AM), club impresario (Teddy’s, Tropicana), director, graphic designer… Demme is a woman of many hats. (No, really, as in she also makes hats).

One of which she wears today. It’s broad and masculine, and the brim swoops far and low like a shade tree casting the rest of Amanda Demme in obscurity. She prefers that nowadays – the mystery and the cloaked intrigue. She did enough of the publicity tour in one of those previous lives, the Hollywood life.

I’m not sure if she was always like this, but she seems to cling onto the past, particularly a history that was never necessarily hers. Demme’s just drawn to old things, artifacts, and preserved decay. Her studio is not so much a museum as a frozen excerpt of a sad and distant time. It also seeps into her work, the subjects lost and forlorn, imbued with this dank and heavy tone. I tell Amanda that I just can’t see her work as photography, but rather a sort of painting. She’s not documenting as much as creating a situation and an emotion. She’s framing that window into the subject’s life, but she also puts that person in that situation and fabricates their impression. From a club doorgirl in the past to a photographing storyteller in the present, I remark that it’s as if she’s playing God.

“No,” she flatly denies. ”I’m more like the Devil.”

Amanda Demme didn’t pick up a camera until three years ago. In that time, she has found love and a new life in it. And become quite remarkably good, recognized, and respected for her photography. Her solo exhibition is currently on display at the Obsolete Gallery in Venice.

#eyewear

In the words of Bobby Hundreds, “The Hundreds’ eyewear is the best. That’s it. End of ode. But seriously, our sunglasses are made in the same facilities, by the same hands, same materials and parts as well-known premium eyewear lines that you think are cooler just because of a name and the nonsensical price tags that are double, even triple, our cost. You’ve seen high-end designers knock off our unique Phoenix time and again,.. yes, it happens. If you’ve ever worn a pair of The Hundreds eyewear, then you know. You’ve felt the weight, the quality production, the contours of the design, and you love.”

Our latest eyewear offerings are available now at The Hundreds’ flagship locations (THLA, THSF, THNY and THSM) and select authorized retailers, as well as through our Online Shop.

DROPPIN’ BOMBS.

#Friends

Unlike most clothing companies, we don’t really have a celebrity sponsorship program at The Hundreds. I’m sure you’ve noticed that over the years, not all the big and famous rappers endorse our product, and we don’t have any pro skateboarders on our payroll. Kinda rare to see our stuff pop up in entertainment or a TV show. It’s just never been our thing, really. Sometimes I wonder if it always ends up working in our favor, considering we’re not attached to anyone else’s fame or relevance. Sure it can be nice when they’re on the up, but once they’re on the decline? I think back to my favorite brands and bands growing up and as soon as some famous kook started co-opting it, how bummed I would be. So yeah, maybe while everyone else thinks it’s the secret to fast success, we’ve dialed that gradual rise towards longevity by trying to keep it real and grounded.

What we do have, however, are personal friends in The Hundreds’ community who support us out of love and we appreciate it. Sometimes those friends have pretty big followings, and sometimes they’re just everyday, run-of-the-mill folk like you and I. Like Ruby Rose:
