Rebel 8 – Fall 2013 “A.C.A.B.” & “Root Of All Evil” collections

Rebel 8 2013 Fall collection is being released in four separate installments. The third drop is called Root Of All Evil. And while money is commonly referred to as such, famed American author Mark Twain once said contradictory that, “the lack of money is the root of all evil.” // Fall ’13 drop 3/4 is now selling at UGHH.com & REBEL8.com.

In related news: Rebel 8 have decided to open a pop-up store @ their new location in Los Angeles. Here’s what Rebel 8’s Joshy had to say about it: “It’s time for us to commence work on the next big thing. For years we’ve been asked, questioned, begged, and outright told to open up a retail store front. But my answer has always been the same; I won’t say never, but I will say not now. I guess that is, until now. The 10-by-10 box I emotionally spoke about in my 833 blog, will go beyond what it now functions as today, and become another great memory in the history of REBEL8. This 10-by-10 will soon become our pop-up shop.”

It is there that the story of Joker Brand Clothing begins.

Joker Brand is internationally recognized as one of the most authentic and original urban/street wear clothing lines in the world. As a company, Joker Brand resisted the flossy trends of the late nineties, maintaining its connections to the street community.

The European division of Joker Brand has been going strong for years as well, so we thought it was time to do a quick Q & A with Joker Brand Europe head honcho Timo Kraus. Check it out:
