Naked Suits Menswear Launches NS Platinum Affiliate Program with Public Enemy Front Man Chuck D and DJ Remix Artist Mike Relm 

September 14th 2011 - Berkeley, CA - Naked Suits, America’s first premier performance menswear line, announced that they are launching the NS Platinum Affiliate Program with Public Enemy Front Man Chuck D and DJ Remix Artist Mike Relm.

“By launching the NS Platinum Affiliate Program with Chuck D and Mike Relm, we believe we can directly reach specific customer segments consistently and effectively using tools like Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube among others,”said Naked Suits Co-Founder Albert Shyy. “We believe that just as the old music world collapsed and went digital, fashion is following in the same transition. At Naked Suits, we plan to be on the front lines of that movement.”


Naked Suits offers tailored menswear that combine high performance and modern styling. Their wool suits are water resistant and hand tailored to fit like a second skin, with a floating canvas and a slim cut. The company’s Arctic dress shirt is made of non-see-through cotton mesh allowing the wearer to stay cool in hot and humid climates. Naked Suits was founded in 2010 by Albert Shyy and Ming Chang in Berkeley, California. Since its initial launch, Naked Suits has been attracting attention because of their products’function and fit. The company was recently featured in a business profile on NBC News, as a Thrillist Nation feature,and the cover of SF Chronicle Style section.

The NS Platinum Affiliate Program enables artists to connect Naked Suits with their fanbase across relevant digital and social media channels. By offering exclusive discounts and insider updates on Naked Suits, affiliates can engage followers and develop their relationship without compromising the integrity of the message, while allowing the company to access a targeted customer niche.


“Naked Suits combines two things I love, fashion and technology,”said Mike Relm. “Their suits feel amazing and nothing’s cooler than an Arctic Shirt.”Relm has toured the world with his live video mixes for Blue Man Group and Tony Hawk. He is also known for his innovative film and music video remixes on YouTube. Relm recently released a remix of comic Aziz Ansari as part of the affiliate relationship.


Details of Chuck D’s entry into the campaign will be released shortly, and promises to be ground-breaking.

Carla Fendi Dies in Rome

One of the true queens of fashion has passed. VOGUE: O ne of the five formidable Fendi sisters (Paola, Anna, Franca, Carla and Alda), who inherited  their family's fashion house  - has died in Rome, aged 79. FULL STORY  Many people forget that the Fendi brand permeated Hip-Hop heavily in its formative years. Rap  icons EPMD had a dancer named FENDI.... A lot of people forget that in the early rap days, a lot of rappers were teamed with dancers, and DJ's as crews to help get the party going. Fendi was a Hip-Hop dance pioneer. He was not a bboy. I am not a dance historian but his moves seemed to be a blend of strutting, locking and a little vogue dancing. Here is a slightly grainy clip FENDI DANCING

MMA Brand News: Sinister Brand Clothing gets shout out from real rappers

I've always loves Sinister Brand fight wear. You've seen some of the biggest UFC stars wear their shirts into the cage. These guys have made quality stuff for years. Recently I heard a track from the upcoming album by Rakaa Iriscience from the trio Dilated Peoples. Outside of his devastating rhymes, he's one of the first rappers to train in Gracie Jiu Jitsu. His new solo album Crown of Thorns drops July 20th 2010. Anyway in one of his songs he says "Gracie Jiu Jitsu, Sinister Brand Sponsored/ You ain't fit, you old aerobics like Jane Fonda!" I love it. So many rappers reference MMA and UFC related themes in their music. This one is by far one of the best. Expect to hear more stuff like that in the coming years. If you ain't up on Dilated Peoples you are probably living under a rock. Here are two videos I suggest you peep. You will see Ralek, Ryron and Renner Gracie in a cameo This Way feat. Kanye West

Radio Shack wins with one line from Biz Markie

Radio Shack Ad feat. Biz Markie My friend Nasseam reminded me how cool this video was. Its a very simple clean (meaning not a lot of dramatic elements to the ad) by Radio Shack. The wisdom of this ad is that it used a one line sentence from an old school rap lyric to promote cameras. This was real genius. Its a funny, ad, they even used the rapper (Biz Markie) in it. If you don't know or remember the line, its from Just A Friend (it came out in 1989) and it pops up in the last verse. Two thumbs up for creativity and clear messaging on this one. I think its cool that the ad team understood what a huge hit the song was, how funny Biz is and how an old school rap song could be embraced by todays consumer.
