Keith Haring

A great article on the Freshjive blog on Keith Haring. Known around the world for his inventive illustrations, the work of Keith Haring has continued to influence and inspire audiences, even 20 years after the artist’s untimely death. Always one to look death squarely in the eye, Haring became a crusader for gay rights, safe sex, and AIDS prevention. Acquiring the HIV virus in his late twenties, Haring died at the age of 31, still widely popular and incredibly influential. See more http://www.freshjive.com/home

Freshjive Takes on a New Direction

Started in 1989 by LA native, Otis/Parsons design student Rick Klotz, Freshjive blazed a trail for a new category in ready to wear apparel. What started as a small T-shirt line geared at skate-boarders, surfers and graffiti artists, has grown into a multimillion dollar business, and an undeniable force in the fashion and apparel industry.

Now in its 21st annum, Freshjive's creative voice has decided on a new direction for his young adult line, abandoning the category that it has so long been instrumental to. Bringing in creative director Mark Wiesmayr, who has worked with Tsubi, Urban Outfitters and Blue Blood, Freshjive is stepping away from its street wear roots, in the direction of a more men's, designer-contemporary line while maintaining its street culture sensibility and affordable price point.

Choosing to move forward without visible name branding, the new Freshjive has a focus on rustic modernism, in both texture and form, celebrating the masculine relationship between avant-garde design and heritage aesthetics. Enhanced by their signature fabrics and details, this new line is a landmark of Freshjive's cultural metamorphosis. The design of the coming seasons will be themed around characters and stories, and will convey narrative messages on the canvas of fashion forward garments, with modern silhouettes.

Freshjive Italy

Found photo: The Cartel

Man you are sleeping if you don't have the Freshjive (www.freshjive.com) blog book marked. If y'all been down fro the get go, you will have seen these on some collectors cards. Shits too good. Found photos is an ongoing showcase of found photography from the 1960s through the 1980s. These photos were obtained from abandoned storage facilities, after the tenants failed to pay rent and the contents were auctioned off.

Dominique Simon

Anybody remember this Freshjive ad from way back? One of the hottest ad series that came out. 'I photographed Dominique as the second of our series of adult vixens back in 1997. I payed her nothing, but she insisted that her facial reconstructed make up artist get hired on (he was supposedly both Michael Jackson’s and Elizabeth Taylor’s make up artist as well). I shot it in my apartment, and she showed up cracked out of her mind. The shoot almost didn’t go down because she was tripping so hard from all the cocaine she was on. It got pretty tense. I manage to shoot two rolls of 10 shots before the plastic surgery disaster of a make up artist insisted we photograph no more because we said we were only shooting a “couple” rolls. Nonetheless, though it was tough, I was stoked when we developed the film and managed to get the shot.' Rick Klotz

Bruce Kalberg

Freshjive presented THIS photo exhibit of Bruce Kolberg. From 1979-1984 Bruce Kalberg photographed virtually every band and personality against the backdrop of the first rush of Punk Rock in Los Angeles and Hollywood. As publisher and chief creative force behind NO MAGAZINE (NO MAG) Bruce photographed both the music and art scene nightly in his studio in Echo Park creating a portrait of fashion and underground culture like no one else. This was the real culture made up of outsiders, losers, immigrants, Punk Rockers from generation one (1976-1982) living in Hollywood thirty years ago, more crudely wrought lives outside of the sparkle and spotlights than the Entertainment Industry would have you imagine. The obverse of the coin of the world presented nightly on shows such as Entertainment Tonight, this was the heart of Hollywood.
