G.P.P.R – Spring 12′ Lookbook

G.P.P.R. SPRING 12

EXHIBITION: ALL I WANTED TO BE IS WHAT I BECAME: A social study of Civil Disobedience in the Land of the Lost and Found. This collection is an introspective look at the Rebel aspect of our namesake. The true definition of the Rebel: this season’s offerings include clever detailing as well as a timeless color palette with subtle rebellious tones and textures. This milestone collection is by far our most cohesive and straightforward collection to date. All in all, an ode to to the gentlemen who know that righteousness lies outside the system; that in order to know justice and know peace, one must challenge certainty.

Brand Manifesto: G.P.P.R. Manifesto: The Gentleman, the Philosopher, the Pervert, the Rebel: all aspects of an amalgam, a single entity. These seemingly independent facets are by no means compartmentalized, as these four aspects are intertwine with one another: the chivalrous and proper Gentleman; the progressive and probing Philosopher; the indulgent and excessive Pervert; the subversive and defiant Rebel. The modern renaissance Man, a polymath of versatility, an old fashioned soul in modern times. GPPR constructs garments around this understanding, creating menswear imbued with aspects of these personalities, seeking to embody the modern Renaissance Man.

Once you finish peeping the look-book you can view the available styles within the online-store. Follow the jump for all the pictures!

Herschel Walker reps Wish

To say that Herschel Walker is a legend would be an understatement.  A hometown hero from the town of Wrightsville, Georgia, Herschel Walker played football for the University of Georgia and was the 1982 Heisman Trophy award winner.  If we wanted to write about the entirety of his college accomplishments or get into his replete accolades during his professional football career …it would go for pages.  Needless to say, it was a pleasure to meet Herschel Walker and we want to give him a big thank you for supporting Wish!

Adidas Campus 80’s “Back to Campus” Collection – 9/9/11

A trifecta of sorts, three well-respected lifestyle boutiques recently worked with iconic, adidas Originals brand to craft their own interpretations of the Campus 80 for a “Back to Campus” pack.  Major in DC, Shoe Biz in San Francisco and Major in DC teamed up for three colorways inspired by campus life and university living.  For Shoe Biz, inspiration was drawn from the tanford colorways and made up in a rough-suede cardinal upper.  Nicely complimentary off-white three stripes complete the silhouette.  Texas’ own, Nice Kicks worked up a “Game Day” colorway in burnt orange inspired by the Lone Star State. Our homies over at Major in DC grabbed color palettes from the Georgetown colorways overlaying a nice navy blue long-haired suede.  

All three colorways will be available starting September 9, 2011, in-store at our Moreland ave. location and online in our online shop.  Retail is set at $88 a piece.
