David Arquette does Propr fashion?

interestingopinion

I cringe in fear when I hear about celebrity fashion labels?

David Arquette, who I’m sure many of you will know for his role as the happy-go-lucky police officer from the Scream slasher-flicks, has teamed up with a musician called Ben Harper , to put together their own fashion label called Propr.

To be honestly I had never heard of Harper until recently…thank you Wiki and Youtube for filling in the gaps.

The style is urban and pretty slick…the ‘trendoids’ would prob pick it up with a fury.
Nothing that I have seen thus far really takes my fancy, but the ladies range looks like it has promise. Maybe I will hunt down a piece online (I will blog about it for def)

I have added a few videos to my posting on this subject on Springleap.
Join in the conversation there when you get a chance!
Everyone knows how pedantic I am about tee designs. Which is why I roast his tee design for XO clothing.
Honestly its just a lil bit of writing on a plain white tee…can only imagine how much the tee costs.
Just because it was done by a famous dude they knock the price waaaay up…and for what. BAH!

I much prefer our awesome tees here at Springleap, hellllll yeah!!!!

The above pics are taken from their normal range. You can see what I mean about the ladies collection having hope, the guys…well the guys is a tad camp.

I’m very interested to see what this company can do and if it will take off properly….and also, who makes the decisions on what gets produced.

Do you think these garments are PROPR?

Dunkz.

HANSA ‘Special Ingredient’ competition update

opinionspringleap

HANSA SPECIAL INGREDIENT Hi there all you designers out there.

As many of you would already know the HANSA ‘Special Ingredient’ competition is well under way and so far the designs are HOT HOT HOT!

Voting has already begun, however please bear in mind that the submissions will still be open until 9th June.

I know that there are quite a few designers that have been working feverishly to get their designs in on time, but relax, the 9^th is still a while away….so you have some time.

Good luck!

It has been interesting to see the submissions that are up for voting so far. Each person has attacked the subject from their own unique angle but at the same time has kept with the Hansa Pilsener vibe.

While I don’t like to choose favorites this early into the game, I must say that I have been VERY impressed with Bleet’s contributions. UNTIL THE LAST DROPS and HANSA FLAGS are two of Bleet’s designs that are going to cause some serious NOISE!

If you hot-shot designers out there are looking for a designer that has gone all out on his subs, this is def one of them.

Get those designs through. With US$1250 on the line….nobody has an excuse not to send through some power design.

Who has got what it takes to climb to the top and blow Hansa away?

STEPDOG WINNER HANNOVANZYL

STEPDOG HANNOVANZYL It is time to salute the winner of our ROCKING Stepdog ‘Powered by Music’ competition.

This was a serious battle royale boys and girls. We thank everyone for sending through their votes for their favorites and for telling all their friends.

We had highly talented designers such as Matsanni, Simon and Vcalahan, all shouldering to cross the line in first position.

However in the end it was South African designer Hannovanzyl who took the win with his submission, simply entitled, Stepdog.
This design has so much going for it and the band really felt that it would suit their image going forward.

I love the almost painted erratic style of the dog he has created….it looks like a wolf howling at the moon.
I really can’t wait to get my hands on this design, it is too awesome for words!

What do you guys all think of our latest winner?
We think that Hannovanzyl has really gone out of his way here and we hope that he submits another design very, very soon…perhaps for our HANSA competition we are currently accepting subs for.

To top off his victory it must be put into perspective: this is his very first submission.

Yep, it is not very often that a designer shows up on the Springleap scene and in his first compo takes the win. It’s aaaaaalmost unheard of.

BIG CONGRATS from the team!

Thanks again to Stepdog’s sponsor Turbovite for making this competition happen and also to the Springleap team for ensuring that everything moved like clock-work.

Please keep the designs coming though, you still have loads of time to create a winning design.

Bring it on guys and girls.
