.::The Official SKILLA Blog

Got a couple of cool reviews from Piksis.com and FreshSocietys.com last week, check it out!

The new gear received an awesome review from Kim over at InMyShortSleeve.com. A very in the know site of the latest indie fashion and art. Check it out!

Check it out! SKILLA’S first set of goodies for 2010 is out, the Power of Peace hoodie Male / Female, the Defying the Odds tee Male / Female and plus a few more belts.

Hey Friends

I just love the support that the brand has received this past year (2009), everyone have been so awesome. I plan to step it up even more for 2010 and to just have more fun doing what I love.  Please remember that I don’t make mass production because I love the thought of something being limited or exclusive. Like when my friends and I would go to the NBA store to check out the throw back or retro jerseys and gear or when my brother and I would collect basketball cards, hoping in that pack of cards you would get a MJ rookie card or some really rare card. I could go on and on about stories, so please understand once something releases try to be the first to pick it up because it may just be gone the next time you try to get it.

On that note the 1st set of 2010 gear drops next weekend and to kick it of I will be having a release celebration on Saturday 1/30/2010 at 6pm.

Also the “I’m A SKILLA” series is on the move, this is when I go around featuring some of the most skilled/gifted people I know or would like to know because I love to meet and talk to talented people. So at the event I will be featuring 2 up and coming culinary pros. I’ve tried their cooking personlly and these guys can really throw down in the kitchen, so come and enjoy good food and pick up some fresh gear.

I’m so excited about the new stuff that will be releasing in a few weeks. Take A Peek!

Check out Lady Jules from the Beat Freaks dance group (from ABDC) & the B-Girl movie, rocking the Music for Ladies tee in her latest video for the B-Girl Sweepstakes challenge. Original post….

SKILLA now has the Music for Kids tee now in the store and also restocked the Music for all belts. More new stuff releasing soon!

I’m so excited about the launch of the New Cardigans, they so fresh. I decided for this launch to have the cardigans on sale for the first day of the launch. So the cardigans will be on sale for $25 until 9:00 am Monday morning (11/9/09).

Get it fast, orders coming in already!

Yesterday (11/03/09) the brand was featured on Thrillist.com. Which was a big deal for me because I have been frequent viewer of that site for sometime now, the keeps it’s viewers updated on cool places to eat, unique products and quality brands out. So I’m pretty stoked about the feature.

Thanks Thrillist.com fam!

The show in Englewood, NJ was great, it started out slow but right before the fashion show it started to pick up. The people were very nice and I made some really good networking connections for the future. They also had a fashion show, which was pretty nice, so I’m pleased with the overall experience.

I went out and got me some racks to use at shows, it makes everything look better and setup it much more quicker.There goes my brother, he has been a real big help to me at these shows.
