Offset Debuts For LAUNDERED WORKS CORP | FW2020

Fashion Week presentations give us an inside look at season’s hottest looks. This week’s FW Paris lineup included an A-list crowd with plenty of fashionably fresh fits. Brands like LAUNDERED WORKS CORP.  had a few runway tricks up their sleeve. Their show delivered an impressive capsule that featured a ready-to-wear collection designed by Grammy-nominated rapper, Offset. Offset put his footprint in the fashion world by lending his creativity to design pieces for this collection.

“Designing my own clothes has been a fulfilling experience to express my love for fashion. My collection represents success from scratch, meaning starting from poverty was a part of my path to luxury. Never forget where you come from.” – Offset

This FW 2020 endeavor was designed in collaboration with creative director Chaz A. Jordan and ØPUS Brand Studios founder and head of luxury streetwear brand IH NOM UH NIT, OmarJohnson. The end result is a perfect marriage of Hip-Hop and luxury fashion. The trio came together for a myriad of reasons but the most important was to bring business, music, and design together. The simplicity of these designs make these pieces the perfect addition to Fall 2020 closets. The neutral colorway makes the collection easy to style and integrate into an existing wardrobe. The collection includes staple pieces like t-shirts and sweatshirts but shows love to more elaborate pieces like fur coats and two-piece suits. There was close attention to detail when it came to material selection. Since sustainability is a thing, they implemented a recycled cotton basics program into the design construction as well. 

“The F/W 2020 collection serves as a visual and tangible representation of my life’s work until now. The balance of my experiences and world travels over the past 10 years expressed through what we are defining as the new luxury ready-to-wear.” – Chaz A. Jordan

What is a good fit without accessories?

The fellas know that accessories are a must so they incorporated them into the collection as well. They worked with Their Italian factories to design a selection of hats, footwear, and a handbag to compliment the looks. Check out some of the collection below and visit launderedworkscorp.com to shop.

“Both Offset and Chaz have unbelievable creative taste and the influence to seismically move culture. Partnering with them to build a fashion brand from the ground up is why we started Opus. They have the ability to understand what the community wants. We’re here to build the business behind it.” – Omar Johnson

Otis x Jeff Staple Launch Investment Shares of the Nike SB Dunks Collection

Sneaker Culture comes with a lot of moving parts. It’s not just about what’s trending and what’s dropping at the moment. The sneaker industry is a booming business and there are a lot of ways to cash in. When you mix history and actual factual epic moments in, these are the things that make sneaker culture what it is. There are many players involved, brands behind the madness and stories to be told. We’ve watched buying sneakers turn into a “thing”, sneaker releases become like holidays and feelings described as being “like Jordans on Saturdays”. When did that happen? Sneaker culture is evident in all aspects of our lives and it is important to keep up with its evolution. Jeff and Otis have teamed up to take sneaker culture to another level. 

Jeff Staple, the founder and creative director of Staple Design, plays an integral role in sneaker culture, and so does Otis. They both are pioneers in areas of sneaker culture that have pushed the needle up on the culture-o-meter. The two have paired up to launch shares of the Nike SB Dunks Collection. 

Wait. Shares? 

Yep. Shares!

The Nike SB Dunks Collection is now available for purchase via the Otis App. The collection includes 5 famed Nike SB lows that have impacted sneaker history in some way shape or form. The NYC Pigeon, Heineken Dunks, What the Dunk, Raygun Dunks, and the first all suede Bison dunks are all available at $25 per share and there are 1,000 shares available for purchase. Jeff is a major Sneakerhead and he handpicked the pairs for this collection. 

Aside from the actual sneakers, the Otis x fnnch collection is also up for grabs. Each share costs $40 and there are 1,000 shares up for grabs. This collection is a series of custom-commissioned artworks by San Francisco’s street artist fnnch. His works include Three Cans of LaCroix, Greatest Hits, and Sneakers. Oddly enough, the Sneakers paintings are his personal rendition of the Nike SB Dunks from the collection. 

Sneakers have become more than just footwear, they are an investment. Whether it’s a purchase of shares on the Otis app or getting a job in the sneaker industry, there’s more to sneaker culture than meets the eye.
