See those two cute girls in the photo above? That's Rose Chang and Stephanie Drabik, and collectively they are the brains behind Crywolf Clothing.
Now, I realize if you've read one of my blogs in the past you know that the theme of it is usually pretty negative. Bitching and moaning about Crocs and pajama pants in public is my bread and butter. Well my friends, I'm afraid that isn't the case today. No, today is the end of an era as far as strictly using the blog to tear things apart. For you see, I've recently come to know a brand called Crywolf, and I must pay respect where respect is due. So if you were hoping for a rant about how much I hate girls who carry little dogs in their purses or something, I'm sorry to disappoint.
The reason I'm stoked on Crywolf is mainly because of their do-it-yourself attitudes and how much effort these two put into every aspect of their clothes. It's a breath of fresh air when you're forced to look at clothing companies who slap an eroded font of their company name on a Fruit of the Loom tee and charge $40 for it all the time. These two hand draw their designs, hand screen print them onto American Apparel tees themselves, remove the old tags/sew on new tags themselves, attach the hang tags themselves. Market them themselves. And only charge $20-$30 for the tees. It's easy to spot whether a piece of apparel was made because the company has a love for design and quality pieces, or if they're just trying to make a buck off it, and Crywolf's pieces definitely reflect the amount of work put into it.
So do yourself a favor, stay the hell away from your local mall, and go check out their line at www.crywolfclothing.com. Tell 'em Pause sent ya.
Oh, and next time you see a girl with a dog in her purse in public, be sure to give her the finger or spit on her or both. That shit is so irritating..
