TISA presents the ‘TISA Bear by Taz Arnold’ T-Shirt Series and we really like it. If you grew up with the Polo Bear, then this is a pretty nice new interpretation of the iconic graphic by Ralph Lauren. Taz Arnold basically restyled the bear, adding some spiked Louboutin’s, MCM leather biker jackets, TISA snapback caps, Hermes belts, Gucci loafers and other favorite products to it. Overall the series includes three t-shirt designs, each coming in grey and white colorways, all available from colette (storeguide).

After a teaser video, we can present to you today ‘The Americans’ Collection, bringing together Taz Arnold and his love for Polo Ralph Lauren and the skills and aesthetics of Dr. Romanelli.

“The result is TI$A’s past – come back to life. The Americans is an experiment in art and clothing – a revamped and reconstructed line of one-of-a-kind wearable work. Taking Taz’s massive collection of vintage Polo, the duo have cut and collaged and reworked and revolutionized. Utilizing a mix of nostalgia, admiration and innovation, The Americans have resurrected and reformed Ralph Lauren’s legendary line.

The result is Taz’s cherished archives – now transformed into a limited run of exquisite, hand sewn jackets, hat, and totes. The Americans have taken Polo’s iconic early ‘90s Teddy Bear/Ski Lodge prep, beloved by early hip-hop icons and cool kids alike… and transformed it into their own poetic ode to pop culture.”

Some of the most iconic Polo trademarks are used in the collection, mixed with a vintage sport aesthetic. The combination of graphics, materials and silhouettes is very impressive and throws you back in time. We will keep you posted on the launch of the collection.

Check out the full range of clothing from ‘The Americans’ Collection after the jump.

Once again Creative Control is at it and presents the first episode of Ti$aVision TV by Taz Arnold. The excentric musician is in his LA studio in action and also gives a little tour of the product project that he has been working on in recent months.

“The word “crazy” gets tossed around unduly when speaking of people who may be on another wavelength or maybe even ahead of their time. The non-linear thought process of ‘tAz Arnold aka Ti$a’ has definitely garnered him the “crazy” moniker but his ability to curb that right brain thinking into efforts such as music and clothing would brand him more as an eccentric due to his ability to harness his creativity. From working with musicians such as Kanye West, Herbie Hancock, Erykah Badu, Iggy Pop and his own group, SA-RA Creative Partners to fashion brands such as MCM and Kanye West’s now defunct Pastelle, ‘tAz has proven that just because they can’t understand you doesn’t mean you’re not making sense. Creative Control spent some time with Ti$a’ in his L.A. studio to find a method to his perceived madness.”

In the last couple of weeks we have reported several times about the new Tisa brand by Taz Arnold. The new brand has already in their first season landed an impressive collaboration with German luxury luggage maker MCM. Previously we have shown you the New Era caps out of the collaboration. Here we take a first look at the duffle bag.

Just like with the New Era caps, the duffle bag takes the iconic MCM logo pattern onto a piece where it has never been before – a modern duffle bag. It should be coming in both the blue and beige colorway very soon.

We will keep you posted!

After the jump a pic of the beige colorway.

Previously we showed you the new Hectic collection, which we liked, but at the same time it did not offer anything special or unexpected. That is totally different from the new Roc Star Autumn/Winter 2008 collection that we present you here.
We are impressed and can safely say, that it is the strongest Roc Star collection that we have seen to date. The brand got known outside of Japan and mainly in Europe, due to a series of Ed Banger and So_Me collaborations. Also they are very well known for their crazy and bright graphics. They still offer that this season on a series of t-shirts and cut & sew, but added a good part of solid and more subtle cut & sew as well. The mix makes the outfit in the end.
Impressed we were also by some accessories in the new collection. The brands backpacks look great and also they will be introducing their first sneaker, which looks a lot like a Nike Blazer High with velcro straps.
Last but not least they also worked with Phenomenon this season on some collaborative product.
Take a good look at the lookbook images of the Roc Star Autumn/Winter 2008 collection after the jump. Familiar faces include Taz Arnold, Big-O, Teriyaki Boyz and more.
