Noirfancy has a detailed discussion with the owner of Union Los Angeles, which many believe their sister store, Union New York, to be the birth of retail “Streetwear”.  Titty fucking, James Jebbia, and Nike were discussed, among other things.

 

We sat down with Chris and reviewed his five favorite things currently in Union. click on the arrow to check it out.

 

Tantum Los Angeles T-shirt

This brand optimizes one aspect of our store that has been, of late, an unfair assertion. Not everything creative and dope has to be expensive. This a great and smart design idea and affordable, too!!!

 

Brass hanger

These are made by a brand that we carry from Japan called Anachronorm. Just love the copper hangers for pants. It’s a great way for us to display our pants.

 

Snow Smock jacket by TEN C

Out of Italy, this is one of the star brands of the store. They make classic jackets that are properly tailored. The fabric is a new waterproof technology they designed that KNITS not weaves, Nylon. This is VERY rare.

 

Too Black for BET

My favorite artist who’s book we carry in the store. A must read!

 

Visvim Social Sculpture Weld shirt

Gotta rep for the Canadian TUX and wear this piece with jeans! Our current top brand Visvim form Japan. Selvedge denim western style shirt with a dope welded pocket.
