Like no other element, water has the power to shape our lives. From where we choose to live to how we feel, its current flows beneath our everyday. But what if we had the power to shape water itself?

That’s the animating question behind our Water Love Series.

Our latest release finds us exploring Dr. Masaru Emoto’s hypothesis that consciousness can change the molecular structure of water. Dr. Emoto, a Japanese Scientist, conducted an experiment in which he wrote the word “love” on bottles of water, among other positive diction, which transformed the water molecules into brilliant colored snowflake patterns. In contrast, writing negative words on the same bottles of water produced dull, asymmetrical structures. We pondered the idea that if our own bodies are three quarters water and the earth’s surface is 70% covered with H20, what would be the effect if we wore the word love on our body? The outcome: The Water Love Series, an ode to water in which we emblazoned the word “LOVE” in 38 different languages on the inside of every shirt in the form of an infinity helix. The range includes t-shirts, tanks and a pair of trunks that are sure to have all the shorties jockin’. Each garment is hang tagged with the philosophy behind the Water Love Series. We aim to continue to push the boundaries of the fashion industry, enjoy. The collection is available on our Website and is available at fine Akomplice retailers worldwide. Be sure check out the rest of the series after the jump. LOVE.

Jason Siegel took this dope photo of our friend Paper Diamond before his 420 show. Here he rocks the Scribble 5 Panel back stage in his dressing room. It’s cool to watch Paper Diamond’s progression as an artist. We’re proud to see many of hip-hop’s elite seeking out his production for their albums.

Our Summer collection is themed on a three word ethos that we try to live and breathe, “For The Love.” We hope you can feel the love in our Summer 2014 offering. This has been one of our most anticipated collections and a staff favorite all around. The collection was just featured on Complex and many other prominent lifestyle websites. HighSnobiety even said our paradise umbrella “is sure to be the umbrella of the year” which was a honor to hear. We are very excited to share this collection with you. Not only is it one of our most extensive offerings, but it also showcases a batch of our fresh in-house patterns adorned on a range of cut and sew pieces. Fresh pieces such as the blue dilation anorak and black stripe moan joggers are complemented by classic Akomplice humor hidden subtly and not so subtly throughout the collection. See the hieroglyphics printed on the inside of the Egyptian tee to know what we mean. This season we have an offering for those wanting fresh, clean, classic pieces, and also for those of you that are looking to put some fire in your summer wardrobe. Take the Miss Cleo tee for example, we won’t spoil the surprise, but we found her new job where callers are even more welcome. We strive to always innovate. Founded for the love and created with love. The collection will drop worldwide on Saturday, June 7th at Akomplice retailers and our Webstore. Hope you enjoy!
