My interests are developing my artistic skills, my clothing line (stucklife.com) and the people around me.Stuck - Lifestyle and clothes- By creating Stuck, we want to reflect the swedish hiphoplifestyle in a genuine and awe-inspiring manner. We're fed up with the mainstream bling-bling-culture manufactured in the characteristic american way and our aspiration is to make our own mark. You won't see us drive up, behind the wheel of a Hummer with designerinterior and a fridge full of Crystal. We take the tube to a random pub and from there on we hit the club hoping the bouncers accept sneakers. A lot of people are consumed with the thought that hiphop is all about rapmusic and therfore they forget about the other elements, even the fine arts of MC:ing, that constitutes this magnificent culture.The name- We we're brainstorming to come up with a suitable and distinguishing name for our clothing line. A lot of suggestions but none of them felt first-rate. We wanted it to come across that we are hiphop, we are one with the lifestyle. One of our concerns was that it had to be evident that it's not a bling-bling-type of label, we're trying to keep it real. The swedish word for stuck, "fast" was a suggestion that made us feel like we were on to something. Most people can relate to the word, irespective of it's a due to something positive taking place or being "stuck" in the negative sense of the word. We started writing the word down and realized that it felt more fluent to write it in english, "Stuck". After scribbeling it down on some paper, we finally found our logo in wet "posca".The clothing line- Our aspiration is for our clothes to reflect purity and genuineness. In the process of designing our starting-point was a mixture of motifs which glorifies the elements that reflect our lifestyle and good old fashion swedish handcraft in the form of "kurbits-painting" (Kurbits being a traditionell artform often portrayd on swedish antiques and furniture). The general feature in the clothing line is the portrayal of the swedish flag and the label which looks similar althrough to line. The garments are of excellent quality. The prints, embroidery and textiles have been put through a series of tests with magnificent results. We produce the garnments in our own factory which is evident when looking at the final product.
