This Fall I went to Seattle with Vanessa. It's a strange place. They had an amazing vintage store the size of a mall. I got a suitcase from the 50s and about a dozen matchbooks. At the airport I had to rip out all the actual matches, but was able to keep the matchbooks. I love the designs and colors. Check them out.

Here is the first look at the new LOLA Winter 2009/2010 limited run shirts being released exclusively here on Black Friday. The design is self-explanatory. Enjoy.

Designers spend a lot of hours online. In going through images you save files on your desktop. People started sharing images they liked, which led to the rise of sites like FFFFound.com. Next came certain sites like JJJJound, which we wrote about a while back. Them Thangs is similar to JJJJound - money, cash, girls, clothes, and photos, but differentiates itself by leaning more towards sepia-toned, vintage, or rougher, scanned in images. Both sites are incredible to scrollll through, be inspired, or just absorb.
LOLA New York will be releasing five limited designs online next month. Each shirt is hand screenprinted in Atlanta on LOLA'S custom body Peruvian Pima cotton T-shirts.
Our friends at Proof7, one of the leading print houses in New York City, recently stopped by the LOLA office with the lookbook for their clothing collection; Rochambeau. The lookbook happened to be a life-size giant handprinted book. Here are some images from book.
Thank you to everyone who came by the Max and Suzanne store in Sag Harbor this summer! It was a great success and a lot of fun. For those who weren't in the Hamptons this summer, I've posted some pictures of what we were up to.
Let's face it, you need to work on your book collection...
Opening Ceremony, founded under a decade ago in New York, opened a 8 story, 50,000+ square foot retail temple in the heart of Japan's shopping district this week. Wow. Congratulations to them. Here are some pictures.

There are 8 New Downtown STATionary Cards exclusively at the LOLA Gallery in Southampton. They are pretty stupid and great at the same time. I will bring some back to the city to scan in and put online. People love them. Or hate them. They don't hate them, they love them!

LOLA New York is named in honor and loving memory after an abandoned, overgrown plot of land known as Lola Prentice Memorial Park. Using stolen wood from construction sites of nearby houses, a home-made skate-park rose out of nowhere within a month. It was organized, run and enforced by dozens of twelve and thirteen year olds. The park became a legendary refuge and playground for unsupervised youths. Around 1998 it became too popular and boisterous and the police decided shut it down unannounced; destroyed the ramps, dumping gravel over the park and building a police station on the grounds.
Through the designs, music, artwork, events & clothing the values of Lola Prentice Memorial Park: loyalty, freedom, creativity and camaraderie are able to live on and blossom.
