So my fellow DWND’r brought “Limos & Liquor” to my attention and I’m super glad that he did. This is an up and coming clothing line out of Pittsburgh, PA. I am a female, but I just have a thing for men's T-shirts. I guess because they're always cooler. Okay back to the clothing line. I always seem to fall in love with the concept behind clothing, because it always makes a piece unique and wearable. And yes you can say I’m a bit head over heels for these shirts. The name itself “Limos & Liquor” grabbed my attention because it isn’t something you’d typically see. However, it is the lifestyle we all dream of, the fast life, the flashy one, a celebrity lifestyle so to speak. We dream of the limos and the liquor. We want that lifestyle so I feel that with “Limos & Liquor” we’re getting what we want in a sense, even if we’re just dreaming a bit.
I was very intrigued because this line just fits in with this whole ideology of our society. Even if we don’t admit it, we all somehow think we’re little “mini-celebs”, so why not portray that image with these shirts.
So I had a few questions for the designer ...
My first question was, “What made you want to start designing?”
And Benny B. (yup, that’s his name) response to me was, “I actually don’t design anything myself...”
Who would think you can get a wrong answer from an interview? However, he definitely gave me the wrong answer though. I feel you are a designer. If anyone is able to create a concept in there head and have the same idea depicted and put on a piece of clothing YOU ARE A DESIGNER.
For the first season the inspiration according to the designer are “all a play on words off the brand name.” For the next few seasons, they're planning on expanding the line. They will also be creating and putting designs onto sweaters, hats, jeans and even starting a more sophisticated look as well.
“The inspiration comes from whatever pops into my head and what I think others will enjoy and wear.”
What I’m looking forward to seeing from this brand are the videos that they will soon be creating for these pieces.
“We feel that clothing and music go hand and hand so we really want to tie the 2 together, building a more powerful image around the design and our brand.”
After learning that little piece of information, I definitely fell in love.
