For our Summer 2014 lookbook, we decided to continue our lineage of journalistic<\/span>\u00a0lookbooks<\/a>\u00a0and cover our home state\u2019s new law, which legalized recreational marijuana. Wherever we go, this is something that people ask us about, so we knew this needed to be documented.\u00a0 In the process of shooting the lookbook, we\u00a0watched\u00a0Dr. Sanjay Gupta’s CNN special titled “WEED”<\/a>,\u00a0which showcased how marijuana was helping save the lives of patients experiencing deadly seizures and helping others battle cancer. This reinvigorated the need to expose the medical powers of this plant once included in the United States pharmacopoeia. To shoot the lookbook we got a special invite to\u00a0<\/span>Native Root\u2019s<\/span><\/a>\u00a0grow house here in our home state of Colorado. It felt like a school field trip when we saw the growing process and all the steps involved. With over 500 pounds of marijuana on hand, safe rooms mirrored maximum security vaults and served as fertile ground to display the newest collection.\u00a0The Summer release served as a nice contrast against the magnificent jungle of plants, which was modeled by Jeff Cormack of indie band\u00a0<\/span>South of France<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Mass Prod<\/a>\u00a0of\u00a0Foodchain<\/a>. Denver local photographer\u00a0Jason Siegel<\/a>\u00a0shot the lookbook in both the Native Roots\u2019s grow house and at\u00a0Colorado\u2019s 420 rally<\/a>. C<\/span>ollection bangers include long and short sleeve button ups, jogger pants, sublimation tees and a slew of detailed cut and sew patterns, not to mention custom tie-dyes. With the first $40 million in tax revenue generated from Denver’s legal marijuana trade being donated to school construction, our “smoke weed for the children” stance has never been firmer. Look for the Summer Collection to debut at Akomplice retailers worldwide and our\u00a0Webstore<\/a>\u00a0in the next 2 to 3 weeks. Also, be sure to stay up to date on the groundbreaking medical advances that this once blacklisted plant species is making possible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
