This past week Patrick took a trip to Los Angeles to visit the homies at X-Large. If you don’t know about X-Large, they’ve been holding down the streetwear game since ’91, and their first store on Vermont Street in Los Angeles is still standing and doing better than ever. We’re working on a project with XL that will change the world! Stay tuned for more details and check out more pics after the jump.
In the last week a Brazilian friend and I worked out a three piece art series, consisting of two brand new designs and the Akomplice Fuccars design from last Spring. The campaign focuses on making bold statements by using iconic imagery, mostly centered around protecting/ aiding our world’s environment. The three piece set was pasted all around Florianopolis Brazil last night, and will be an ongoing campaign for the months to come. See below a teaser shot and check back soon for more pics.

Back in April I got a call from my boy Yusuke at X-Large Japan about their upcoming Summer Lookbook photo shoot down in LA. He saw the AK Spring Lookbook featuring the X-Large store, and since we’re boys, wanted to continue to build the relationship between our two great brands. I took the short drive down to LA and found out that Ricky Powell was going to be shooting! I was pretty pumped to find him rocking the Akomplice NY Crimes snapback (one of his all time favorite hats) and to be in the presence of one of the great photographers of our time. If you don’t know Ricky Powell, remedy that quick with a trip to his site. I had a great time chillin with Ricky and speaking Japanese with the X-Large crew and was honored to make an appearance in the X-Large Summer 2012 Lookbook. Check out their website and Summer 2012 Lookbook after the Jump.
