Luxury sportswear brand En Noir has quickly ascended to the forefront of the fashion consciousness, with its minimalist philosophy and eye for detail and high-end fabric–from leather to calfskin to fur. Here, Life + Times sits down with founders CurT@!n$, Rob Garcia & Jason Wolter at TriBeCa boutique Patron of The New to discuss the brand’s origins and landing at Barney’s New York.
By now you all know about En Noir. Celebrities wear it, wannabes can’t afford it, and everybody wants it. Dope Boy C (who is the line’s Brand Director) and designer Rob Garcia sat down with Frank The Butcher to speak on the line, its infamous “leather sweatpants,” and more.
Leikeli47 is a New York-based artist who recently dropped her self-titled mixtape (which also has a feature from Bun B) a little while ago. If you like, you can grab that here.
Curt@!n$ has been a staple in rap and fashion circles for some time now. The Brooklyn lyricist weaves in between aggressive street talk and couture brand references with the ease of a 2-sport all-star. His fashion sense has been complimented by Ye and he has recently professed his affiliation with Pusha T’s Re-Up Gang records on his newly released 23 EP. With new music circulating and his current position as Brand Director for the high end street line En Noir, Curt@!n$ continues to excel on both fields. Tune is as Curt@!n$ breaks down his mantra “Dior & Jordans.”
Just in time to watch the replacement refs fuck up your favorite team’s game of football (these guys are terrible) comes Dope Boy C’s latest freelease. Tracklist and link down bottom.
I know Mek has been campaigning for new music from CurT@!n$ for quite some time now. Finally, it seems as if he’s gonna get his wish as Dopeboy C sits down with FUSE to preview his upcoming 23 EP and to speak on meeting Michael Jordan, his relationship with A$AP Mob and more.
