I’m going to have to update the contact page. I don’t reply to an e-mail from a new brand until I’ve actually written about that brand, which often means some people never get a reply. It’s not a perfect system, but would you guys prefer that I write posts, or be all polite and spend my evenings writing awkward e-mails to people about why I’m not writing about their brand?
Most people give up after one e-mail. Foreign Family are clearly not most people. They’ve worn me down with their e-mails to the point at which I’m catapulting them up the queue and giving them a damned post. Are you happy now Foreign Family? Are you?
Here’s their blurb:
Founded in Los Angeles in the hot summer of 2005, when two friends, Chad and MR44, decided to start their own clothing brand. They both wanted to build a brand that was known for originality and intricate hand-drawn designs. Hard work and the drive to create good clothing has guided them from the start, from deciding to utilize only original hand drawn artwork, to building an image, fostering their own dedicated following, building an international customer base, freelancing for and collaborating with other brands, and delving into garment production (ie “cut & sew”). Foreign Family are proud of recent achievements such as being invited to bread + butter in barcelona, launching a worldwide art tour, and the opening of their official headquarters – a design studio in k-town, los angeles, which also housed Foreign Family’s 554 pop-up art gallery last year, exhibiting a wide range of artists and some very successful exhibitions, not to mention The Hundreds’ 5 Year Anniversary event. The Fam are also excited about expanding our cut & sew collections thanks to the masterful design and production skills of Johnny Punishment, who brings valuable professional garment design/production experience to the table. Thanks for supporting Foreign Family!
Pretty impressive stuff I’m sure you’ll agree, I’m surprised that I didn’t manage to find out about them on my own!
