A Jewelry Trend Born in Ancient Art Explodes in Hollywood
Written by SAM GLASER
It’s not everyday that Hollywood men and women adopt the same look. After gaining momentum for years, beaded earthstones have finally caught fire. From Jonny Depp to Lauren Conrad the style has attracted a diverse range of celebrities who layer multiple bracelets or necklaces.
Eartstones include gems like onyx, opals, hematite, tigers-eye and many other minerals and rocks with rich histories. Humans have been harvesting these natural treasures from the earth since ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, Greece, and Rome (~1000-3000 BC).
Today’s prevailing style dates back to 2000 BC, when the Sumerians created jewelry by stringing beads on wire. This same technique is influencing modern jewelry from brands including David Yurman, Stephen Webster, andDyOh. Certain designs even incorporate ancient elements and precious materials with production treatments like metal-oxidization. This jewelry offers a look that derives from the earth with vintage detailing while still creating a contemporary finished product. Read the rest of this entry »
Las Vegas, NV. October 23rd, 2009. Soliscompany.com and Remetee Clothing are giving away 100-signed Ryan Braun baseballs as gift with purchases – a free signed baseball for the first 100 customers who spend $150 on Remetee Clothing. This is a can’t miss pre-holiday opportunity to get a free signed baseball from the all-star left fielder and former National League rookie of the year.
Braun is a devoted Solis customer who frequently drops by the stores and website to shop and chat. See Ryan Braun interviewed at Solis
In June 2009, Josh Powell and the LA Lakers were crowned NBA Champions. As the 2009-2010 preseason got underway, Josh and Solis hooked up to chat basketball and fashion.
By now we know that RVCA is one of the most fashionable brands sponsoring MMA athletes. RVCA is an authentic brand, with roots in art, action sports, and fashion. Fedor Emelianenko is an authentic fighter who knows how to win.
Fedor`s two biggest fights in North America were with Affliction’s promotion, where he dominated Tim Sylvia and Andrei Arlovski to win the WAMMA Heavyweight title on pay per view.
Now Strikeforce is the latest to market Fedor to a US audience. They are taking the biggest gamble yet: putting Fedor on network television, headlining Strikeforce`s attempt to fill the Elite XC void on CBS in front of an estimated 6.5 million viewers. It’s interesting to note that Fedor continues to avoid UFC. The obstacle to a UFC / Fedor relationship seems to be M-1 Global, which acts as both Fedor`s management and a fight promotion of which Fedor is part owner.
RVCA and MMA seemed an unlikely pair, but turned out to be kick-ass combination. RVCA sponsors BJ Penn, Vitor Belfort, and Fedor. We’re looking forward to Fedor’s primetime non-pay-per-view fight against Brett Rogers and expect the RVCA-clad Fedor to take care of business.

A summer trend born in California heats up for fall
Written by SAM GLASER
As summer becomes a lucid memory, fall fashion traditionally offers an opportunity to stow away summer pieces, retread old outerwear favorites, and experiment with layering new pieces. On the business side fashion trade shows and markets are normally packed with brands competing to unveil the next hot look for the cold seasons ahead.
Brand innovation for fall ’09 was minimal. Designers took already popular plaids and checks, added brighter colors, and shrank the patterns. A surging category of “micro-checks” emerged. Similar to the plaids and checkers from which micro-checks descended, summer’s prevailing trend is just getting started.
It’s not surprising that a trend is born in California. But this past summer, the style of the moment did not gain traction in Los Angeles alone. While Hollywood can single handedly launch a fashion craze, plaid-appeal accelerated even further south. With influence from western Americana heritage, popularized by the action sports cultures in San Diego and Orange County, and certified by the A-list, a fashion movement materialized.
