It is about skate, it is about graffiti, but the most important aspect is that it is about a way of life. That is the message California-based Altamont Apparel try to convey to their customers. Since last season, the label has invited legends, both past and present, as collaborators to its seasonal collection. For Fall 2008, Altamont asked FiberOps and Alyasha Owerka-Moore to create special collection. Based on FiberOps’ concept of traditional American workwears with the detailing of fine urban fashion. The Altamont x FiberOps Collection will consists of 5 editions – Garage Jacket, Mohair Sweater, Moto Hoodie, El Buzzo T-Shirt, and Pro-Tex Denim. The most interesting aspect is the Pro-Tex Denim. Made with denim fabric from world renown Swift Denim Mill in Georgia, USA. Altamont actually suggest not to wash newly purchase denim the first 6 months. The wearer’s motions and habits will imprint each into the unique indigo dye from Swift Denim.
The collection will be release at the start of Fall this year.

A few weeks ago we reported on this interesting three way collaboration between Supreme, Kermit, and Medicom. At first we didn’t know what to expect, whether the doll was real or not, or how big it was. Now it seems that after a few weeks of being in the dark about this project, things have finally come to light. The Supreme x Kermit x MEDICOM TOY doll was released at various Supreme stores worldwide this past weekend and retailed for $18 USD. Although the toy is small in size, it already is worthy of a resell value that is almost three times as much as it’s MSRP. You can pick yours up now at Cliff Edge.
