I’m down here in Medellin Colombia when all of a sudden I got an email from Murder Matt, saying “We need to knock out a poster for our Savoy Summer Release party asap!” It’s 6pm and he says they want it by the morning, so my homies from ClownRMX and I hit the streets to find a hot Colombian shorty to be the cover girl for the poster. We found a beautiful college student named Nina and when asked to model, she replied “Why did you pic me? I’m not a model. There are so many girls in Medellin way hotter then me.” We assured her she was what we were looking for and the shoot went down 3 hours later at her apartment. The lighting wasn’t great and we only had our iPhones, but we made due with what we had and still came out with some cool shots. I had Albert (1/2 of ClownRMX) choose a couple of his favorite photos. Share, like, or tweet to let us know what you think of them!

Here is a re-cap of our V.S.O.P Spring Collection that is now available on our web store and at Akomplice retailers worldwide.

Mike Akomplice has been fulfilling his dream to visit Brazil and is now in Fortaleza, a burgeoning city on the northern coast.  He’ll be making his way down south towards Sao Paolo and Florianopolis over the next couple of weeks.  From the pics I’ve been seeing and the stories I’ve been hearing, Brazil has been treating Mike very well indeed!  Be sure to follow his trip progress through the AK Blog and on Instagram (@mikeakomplice) as he gives us a glance of life in Brazil.

Patrick Liberty has been stationed in Cartagena, Colombia, setting up a remote office near the beach, swimming every day, eating Papayas and enjoying the relaxed lifestyle of Columbia.  Last Saturday he took a trip to Rincon Del Sur, a small, pristine beach town.  In order to get to Rincon, Patrick had to drive through the interior of Columbia, which apart from the bumpy, unkept “highway”, sounded like a fantastic experience.  Long stretches of nature and open road were accented with small “rest areas” where children played around the car and you could buy fresh mangoes and fruit.  Upon arriving to Rincon Del Sur, Patrick was pleasantly surprised to find no paved roads (only sand), and a super mellow, relaxed atmosphere.  Everybody knew everybody, and on this particular day they were celebrating Global Dance Day, so Patrick was able to watch all the festivities while enjoying the natural beauty of one of the world’s most pristine beaches.  You can see a brief glimpse of Patrick’s trip here on the blog, but make sure to follow him on Instagram (@patrickliberty) to get the latest and greatest on a day to day basis.
