In 2008, Lindsey decided to launch her own line, Reif, a collection of men’s and women’s clothing. Finding frustration with her own wardrobe, and the lack of pieces to tie everything together, Lindsey decided to create these wardrobe staples. (Continue reading…)

About the designer:
Oakland California based fiftyseven-thirtythree focuses on designs that are at once simple, graphic, sexy and disconcerting. Loretta Nguyen and James Dawson design and produce screen-printed and stenciled t-shirts and appliquéd hoodies. We draw from an urban aesthetic where multi-culturalism and pop culture merge with inner city decay, graffiti and a lo-tech DIY sensibility. We strive to reflect and celebrate this to some degree in our designs. We derive inspiration from politics, history, media and our sexual identities. We look back at our culture to see what has endured and use it as a road map as to where we’re going. As a culture, we are mixing elements from around the world to create the future. It’s important, as Americans, that we see beyond the regression of our recent past and focus on the fact that the world unfolding around us is incredibly exciting.
Keep up on all that fiftyseven-thirtythree has going on in their blog.
