nooka X supreme being

we met the guys behind supreme being at a trade show in barcelona 4 years ago! we've kept in touch ever since, and i am excited to announce a collab! i have watched them grow from t-shirts to a full-fledged fashion company – congratulations guys!

from the official press release: Supremebeing first began as a small, hand-printed graphic t-shirt venture in the UK, and today has grown to a full street-wear clothing line for both men and women. The fully-formed line features everything from clothing to trainers and accessories, along with their staple t-shirt collection. Many of the t-shirts are still printed by hand, keeping the personal touch of the line alive and well. Their ethos, ‘Created First Amongst Equals,’ encourages consumers to not simply wear their clothing for the brand name, but because they love the clothes. This attitude is expressed in the brand’s own designs and is also apparent in the collaborative design with Nooka.

studio visit: charlie villanueva



let's talk about how to make oneself look very short: stand next to the milwaukee bucks charlie villanueva! he is the sweetest guy and a native of queens NYC [just like me]. thanks to stephanie solomon, my well-connected friend from los angeles for stopping by the nooka lab with him.

studio visit: jimmy jane / ethan imboden


i am falling behind with my blogging and i will blame the ICFF for being in town this past weekend [up til today].

on friday, san francisco based ethan imboden came by the nooka lab to talk shop [design entrepreneur stuff] which was really great as i never meet enough people doing ventures similar to mine. ethan is the creative mind behind jimmy jane [website here], a company repositioning sex play products. so though the line couldn't be any more different from nooka, their approach to marketing and placement is similar and we always have a lot to talk about. i also love their tagline: where naughty is nice, sexy is smart, and the pleasure's in the details.

he walked away with a mirror finished zen-h nooka watch which i think matches his style pretty well.
