Nick @ Pistache Clothing

I'M 27 YEAR OLD CO-CREATOR/ARTISTIC DIRECTOR OF PISTACHE CLOTHING. OUR AIM IS TO CREATE CLOTHING & ART THAT DOESN'T FOLLOW BULLSHIT TRENDS, CONCEPTS OR PRACTICES. PISTACHE EVOLVES NATURALLY, STAYING TRUE TO OUR ROOTS & CULTURE. EVERYTHING IS HAND PRINTED BY MYSELF & TEAM USING SILKSCREENS & ECO FRIENDLY WATER BASED INKS (IF WE DON'T TAKE CARE OF THE BLESSING THAT IS NATURE, WE ARE IDIOTS). WE PROVIDE THE HIGHEST QUALITY T-SHIRT PRINTING AVAILABLE ANYWHERE. WE OFFER A LOAD OF DIFFERENT DESIGNS & CUSTOM PRINT SERVICES, GIVING PEOPLE THE MEANS TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES. EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN STYLE & THE WORLD IS BETTER FOR IT......A LOT OF YOU KNOW WE HAVE STRONG LINKS TO UK HIP HOP ARTISTS LIKE YUNGUN AND MR THING. THESE ARE NOT JUST BUSINESS FRIENDS, I CAME UP WITH YUNGUN. MYSELF (EMMING MOON/MR MOON) AND FRIEND/MC DEVISE FORMED A DUO IN THE EARLY 90s CALLED DUPA STYLES. WE MET YUNGUN A YEAR LATER AND BECAME A TRIO ON THE OPEN MIC CIRCUIT. ANOTHER FRIEND (CRACK) HOSTED OUR PARLOUR SESSIONS & FOUNDED PARLAY FM. SOON AFTER WE LINKED WITH HARRY LOVE & OTHER ARTISTS (SPECIAL SHOUT TO JARGON). I THEN TOOK THE ARTISTIC ROUTE AND LEFT MY INFAMOUS FRIENDS TO DO THE RAPPING. IT'S HARD TO SOUND GOOD WHEN YOU'RE SPITTIN WITH MCs AS INTENSE & COMPLEX AS DEVISE OR AS TALENTED & INTELLIGENT AS YUNGUN. I'VE ALSO WORKED WITH VARIOUS GRAFFITI WRITERS ALONG THE WAY. SHOUT OUT TO FRIEND/GRAFF WRITER/GRAPHIC ARTIST ALEX FOR THE LOGO ON MY PROFILE, CLASSIC STYLES.....!PISTACHE'S MAIN FASHION INFLUENCES ARE BRANDS LIKE STUSSY, KIX AND FRESH JIVE. OUR MAIN INFLUENCE IS 80s & 90s SKATE/STREETWEAR. SK8ING WAS OUR BIGGEST THING BACK THEN, BEFORE WE STARTED SURFING. I STILL SKATE TO THIS DAY. BRANDS LIKE POWELL PERALTA & VISION STREET WEAR'S PRINTS WERE BIG AND BRASH, YET STYLISH & ARTISTIC. THEIR ATTITUDE WAS 'FUCK YOU, WE DO WHAT WE WANT' BECAUSE THEY REPRESENTED THEIR CULTURE IN A TRUE WAY, THEY WERE PART OF IT! I HOPE WE'RE DOING AS GOOD A JOB AS THEY DID......!IF YOU LIKE THE CLOTHES, THE ETHOS, THE STYLE, THANK YOU... IF NOT, NO LOVE LOST. CONTACT ME ABOUT MUSICIAN, SURFER & SKATER SPONSORSHIP...... PEACE, NICK @ PISTACHE CLOTHING
