AMESSE x MARKY


Its kinda crazy how this whole thing transpired but, yeah. We here. Marky is the next big thing. And I got a rep to uphold so, this is real talk. Kenny Burns (Svengalli) liasoned the meet and greet and we've been rocking ever since. ESPECIALLY when i heard "World Tour"...So the Couture Group will keep any and everybody posted on the releases and album coverage of the album. If that made sense.

Oh and its not just me. Illroots.com, Mick Boogie.com, other blogs and whatnot.com. I tried to told you. Gyone.

LOVE VASHTIE.




So im blogging. And im meeting new people that are well...doing the same. Shouts out to Shortypop and The Quarter Hug. And i run across herfection.com. H.E.R is one of the many dope blogistas that i've discovered in my internet escapades. I hit up my dude's iphone. he HAS to see. From there i go to Rik Cordero's (director of Nas's new video and Kanye and Consequence's "Good, Bad, Ugly")website gas-d.com. Pilfering through the posts, i see Pharell's new chair honoring the consumation of man and woman. woman on tippy toes. giggity. Nujabes has a new song, but i dont care about the Nujibblets because the pic taken by PBC has this model with these lips that just... Scroll down more...blah blah..and then there's a short vid...
and then..



which led to this post...chuurch.

I WILL NEVER I WILL NEVER I WILL NEVER FALL.



SHOUTS TO HERFECTION.COM!!!!

I mean this collab was bound to happen. Wayne and Jay-Z get their illest hippity hop on in Mr. Carter produced by Just Blaze. Suprisingly Just doesnt go off on a mean drum tangent, but its just enough laid backness and wonderful delivery to make this song as nuts as it is.
Get your download on..

Hit You With the Oeur de Whopee..




This video really just freaks me out..but since we are THE authority about the DOPENESS of everything, below is the breakdown of the Air Yeezys. So you can tell your friends you know where the midsole is inspired from...loser.



Nicekicks.com had this to say:

"There has been much activity on the web surrounding any news about the Nike Air Yeezy - the shoe that Kanye West wore at the Grammy’s and since on his Glow In The Dark Tour. One of our readers put together a photo breakdown showing likely inspiration sources for the Nike Air Yeezy taking into consideration Kanye’s taste in sneakers. Not ironic at all, all of the elements listed are sneakers that Kanye has frequently been spotted in. One shoe not included in the list that I think lent some design ideas was the Nike Air Force V which is a shoe LONG overdue for a retro release."

We'll keep you posted on the release of the kicks and the robbery of the lucky/unlucky souls that wear them..

Gucci Belts and Nudie Jeans..

Its only right that as the life and style guide for the younger man continues to learn more about whats dope and what is straight vanilla, we put you on. We have favorites. Things we cant live without. Or we can and really just choose not to. Here's our list of comfortable couture that makes us happy and all that.

Check the belt
Alfani Crew Neck-Remember in Spiderman when the symbiote (that black stuff) formed to his body and made a super Spidey...yeah. These shirts fit the contour of the body like that. They stop mid bicep and really give your frame an athletic asthetic to it.


PF Flyers-these shoes look really cool. With the converse shape but with a more heavy duty front sole or with the Supra remeniscent Gliders PF's are a cool shoe. But a word to wide foot individuals. Ouch. After the process of breaking them in you should be fine, but my man. Its going to hurt.


Nudie Jeans-i could go for quite some time praising the denim prowess which is the genuises behind Nudies. Its kind of crazy how they wash themselves. Like, cleanse themselves. And after you wear them for 6 months,throw them in the wash, and they distress automatically to the striations your knees made. Its like a fingerprint. Dope.


Calvin Klein Body Shirts-these are basicaly the long sleeve versions of the Alfanis. They fit so well, you just gotta wear it to understand.


Gucci Belt-its pretty self explanatory.


Relaxed Fit Citizen of Humanities-Relaxed fit is the best because they stretch like second skin. Which from what I hear stretches like the first, which is ultimately a good thing.


"The Gilroy" - Originally discovered on the northern streets a potent, transparent, almost scentless fragrance blessed the repitoire of a CG member. In the spirit of "putting his constituents on" the scent migrated south. Worn everyday, and steadily bringing women to the inner space of the wearer it was nicknamed "The Gilroy". But then we ran out. Months later while doing a little coppage, a body oil shop was ran across. A simple question was asked..."Amber White?" The shopkeeper with a shocked, yet pleased look reached under his desk register thing and pulled out a small box. After blowing off a light cover of dust, ancient markings could be seen. (You can't make stuff like this up man). He opened up the box and inside was a small purple bag with gold trim.."Is this what you're looking for" he whispered. "..ummm. Yeah." Long story short..Amber White will change your life.
Millionaire Shades- In a world full of shutter shades and "stunna" shades and hater blockers and any other ridiculous contratption for the eyes, theirs only one thats sufficient for the Couture Group. Millionaire. Now there are a few styles we're iffy about, but for the majority of types they have, we dig.

THE POWER OF THE SKINNY TIE..





Im going to keep this brief. I mean come on. Pulp Fiction. The skinny tie. Reservoir Dogs. 6 skinny ties. All on gangster individuals. Need we say more? We do? If we must...

Many people aren't aware of the illness which is the skinny tie. The narrow neck ornament. Its one of those accesories that turns the ordinary suit ensemble into something a little cooler. Its the traditional look, yeah, but like everything else nowadays..its slimmer. The only thing about rocking this g-string for the throat (okay that's a little much), is you have to be into form fitting duds. Anything other than, and you'll look like you're trying to hang yourself the wrong way.

Another truly ill wonder about this, is its 24 hours a day rockable`. You can wear it to the job without the worries of looking unprofessional (we're young and innovative. We can do things like this) and it can be rocked after hours without the feeling that you're going on an interview. Or it can be seen when you're reciting Ezekiel 25:17 right before you blast a jive turkey motherf@&$!a.. It more so blends in with a fit as well as gives you the comfort that no one is staring at a hideous tie selection. Because people laugh at hideous tie selections. Oh no not in front of you. Mm mm. Mostly behind your double windsored back. Do you want that? Didn't think.

If need be, it can take the place of a regular tie forever. Click the pic for the link to this emporiumesque website which is like the Mecca for skinny ties..

Sincerely Us.


We can get on here and be style crazed maniacs..every thread count thoroughly calculated. Every hue of our outfit following the tertiary rules of the color theory. The cuffs on our suits can be properly measured to show off our timepieces. Argyle socks. You cant front on the Argyle socks. But there is something that couldnt be learned any way other than experience. Style is an inner counterpart. Fashion has many human counterparts that are rarely/never explained. No label can make you look good. No cut or fit is just gonna blow your looks out the water.( And this SO doesnt go for women for reasons obvious.)

The old adage clothes don't make the man rings true in this aspect..furthermore The Couture Group lays down this rule. Don't rely on an outfit, label, colorway, or "limited edition" anything to give you swagger.


It'll only get you laughed at.

Here is the mother tip of all tips to help you help me help you.

Be You

There are a couple of things that suck. One of them is button fly jeans when you have to pee really bad. I know. Another thing is being underdressed for a soiree'. You come with the bedhead. The pique coat, button up with the slightly disheveled tie with some loafers under some cuffed Citizens. Sexy. You step into the double glass doors...and freeze. Not because your all time favorite Micheal Buble' song is lightly playing in the background. But because everyone, and I mean everyone, down to the damn custodial manager (we don't like janitor) has some type of classy suit on. The women are draped in elegant gowns and jewelry and you CLEARLY didn't get the memo that you were to dress as if the Grammy red carpet had a pre party. Obviously being the oddball, you have a few options. Turn around instantaneously, and act as if you just stepped in the womens bathroom..B..stand there gaping at everyone and then look down like you've just urinated..or C..put on a smile. A real smile. Like they're the foolish ones for being so fancy schmancy and you're glad you aren't them. I guarantee 2 things will happen. They'll smile back. And 2. They'll wonder who you are.. This is where being ones self comes into such a major play.. And this is from experience.

Seriously.

Sincerely,
Us
