  • Top 10

    May 1, 2009 By Andres Izquieta 0 Comments

    This week is the kickoff of my Top 10 list.

    So every week I'm coming out with a top 10 list, covering anything from food to quotes to places, etc.

    So this week I'm featuring the Top 10 things people have said to me about Five Four. Over the years we have gotten many interesting things said to us, pretty amazing what people say.

    1) Do you guys sell to stores?

    • No guy, we rent office space, produce thousands of goods every 6-8 weeks to give out to friends.

    2) You know, I can get clothes on David Beckham, you should hook me up with some stuff to give to him.

    • Between Dee, William and I, we have had over 50 people say this to us, and people who we deemed credible at one point in time.

    3) Hey, you need someone to do marketing, you know I know everybody?

    • Just because you have gone to some clubs, seen some z-list celebrity at an after hours party in the hills, doesn't mean you know everybody or are capable of doing marketing for an apparel brand.

    4) You should hook me up with clothes, I"m a walking billboard.

    • This one always makes me chuckle.

    5) If you need design tips, I have some crazy ideas.

    • You should enroll at Parsons or FIT then, or if you are real good, go study in London or Paris.

    6) When you come out with a girls line, I can totally help you design it.

    • Man, if I could count the # of times a girl volunteered to help me design it would break into the thousand mark. Every girl with Louboutin shoes, a hot bag and their daddy's Amex card thinks she's a designer and a stylist.

    7) Why don't you put graphics on your stuff like skulls and bones?

    • I've chosen to not even reply to this statement, kind of insulting.

    8) Yo I'm friends with X celebrity, you should hook me up with clothes because I'm usually photographed in the background when the paparazzi takes pictures of them.

    • Again, back to statement #3, don't care about your affiliation to a z-list celebrity reality star.

    9) I always get laid when I wear Five Four.

    • This one is kind of cool I guess...

    10) Are you looking for a model? You know I model on the side...

    • Okay, so just because you may hook up with a bunch of easy girls at some cheesy club, does that make you dashing, good looking and a model now? No bro, stick to your day job. Please stop myspacing, tweeting, facebooking and emailing me your headshots that are unprofessional shots with your boy's camera or your camera phone thinking you are Zoolander.

    Ciao.

    THIS JUST IN, AS I WAS ABOUT TO UPLOAD, @williamlifestyl JUST CAME IN WITH AN AMAZING ONE THAT I LEFT OUT.

    ***Bonus. You know, I blew Five Four up.

    • Wow, this one is so funny. I've been told this by a few people, but I guess the 7+ years of hard work, blood, sweat and occasional tears didn't do anything to get us here.

  • Look of the Week

    April 27, 2009 By Andres Izquieta 0 Comments

    Look of the Week; week of April 27, 2009

    This week's look of the week is Angelo Sotira, CEO of "DeviantART."http://www.deviantart.com/ Dee and I have been friends with Angelo for about 8 years now, first meeting back in his dmusic.com days. Angelo was one of the biggest players in the mp3 music game back in the late 90s. He went on to start DeviantART.com, which is now the largest art community in the world, along with being one of the top 100 visited websites in the world. Yes guys, this guy is major...and he's only 27. He stopped by the office last week, before his DeviantART world tour starting in the next few weeks. Angelo is one of those Richard Branson type entrepreneurs, always a fan of adventure and fun. About four years ago, he took us all rock climbing, lets just say I've never been so sore in my life. It's always been great catching up with him, as he is one of those entrepreneurs that inspires other entrepreneurs.

    Here's Anand and Dee with Mark, judging by their smiles, it looks like they were the #3 and #4 pick in the draft.

    The other shot we took with Mark, was of Dee and myself with him. However, Anand doesn't know how to operate a camera properly and take a simple picture.

    Here's Dee beating him on the head after we realized he couldn't take a picture properly...some things never change.
