About Me

MyGen Profile Generator CARHARTTSTORE AMSTERDAM Carhartt Inc. was established in 1889 in Detroit, Michigan USA by Hamilton Carhartt. For over 118 years Carhartt has been dedicated to its mission of providing Best In Class apparel for the active worker. Standing for rugged construction, innovative design and exceptional standards of quality, durability and comfort, Carhartt workwear has become a legend in the skilled trades.Since 1994 Carhartt has been distributed in Europe through Work In Progress Textilhandels GmbH. Starting to distribute the regular collection from Carhartt Inc., Work In Progress processed quickly to adapt Carhartt to the European market. In 1997 the first selection of pieces made especially for the European market were added to the regular collection. Easily Carhartt grew to one of the leading brands within the European Streetwear scene. Today, Carhartt Streetwear is known for a supreme collection and its dedicated support of upcoming artists, musicians, skateboarders and BMX riders.With an own skate and BMX team, the support of internationally recognised events such as the Rebel Jam and the European Skateboard Championships, and the collaborative work with recognised artists – Carhartt Streetwear is present in many different subcultures but still sticking to the core idea of providing innovative design.On 5 march 2005 Carhartt opened a main store in the Netherlands located in one of the best shopping areas of Amsterdam, named the 'nine streets'. Besides the European flavour of the Carhartt collection the store also contains an exceptional Carhartt related interior design. With contributions of internationally known local graffiti heroes, Zedz and Tiquestar in the inside of the store, it makes it worthwhile to come in and take a look.

Influences: MyGen Profile GeneratorEXPO MENT 7-11Hello all! On friday the 7th of november we will be having a new expo opening with Brazilian graffiti artist MENT!ABOUT MENT: Ment ( 31 ), born and raised in the suburbs of Rio de Janeiro, os active in the Carioca graffite scene with the crew Nação since 1998. His style differences from his graffiti mates through the figurative and detailed elements he uses, not only on walls all around town, but also on canvas. Spezialised in a combination of bombers (letters) and the typical sceneries of Rio de Janeiro: the endless favelas filling the green city hills with little houses and an enormous mess of electricity and telephone cables – in other words chaos - that is in contrast with high flats and buildings in rich areas of the city, he leaves a critical note to the spectator about the social inequality that marks Brazil. Ment is respected all over Brazil because he is not only a graffiti writer, but he also teaches kids that grow up in violent circumstances in deprived areas of Rio de Janeiro. MENT MYSPACE THE EXHIBITION: The opening of the exhibition is at 18:30h. Of course the original caipirinha’s of “Um Minuto de Silêncio” will be served and you can forget the Dutch autumn for a bit, while drinking this tropical cocktail and enjoying the sounds of DJ Lamme Tonnie ( Rednose Distrikt). Part of the sales of the artworks, MENT donates to the founding of a cultural centre in the favela Sampaio in Rio de Janeiro. The centre is coordinated by the graffiti crew Nação and gives youth of the area the opportunity to learn graffiti and design. This way they can learn a profession, get inspired by cultural activity and get distracted from a life in crime and drug traffic. CARAMUNDO Hope to see you at the opening!SLACKERNATION @ PARADISOOn Saturday the 27th of September MeBike will Host Slackernation at the Paradiso.
