Thanks to our friend Switch from The Hundreds for featuring our Spring 2012 Collection on the Hundreds Feed.!

Karen Civil is one of those really doing it, being on top of her social media game, she provides a relevant insiders look into the hip hop, entertainment and music industry.

I had a chance to catch up and meet with her at Gaby’s, getting her thoughts on Civil and the industry. In addition to covering the music industry, Karen has also helped bring awareness to stars like Drake, Nicki Minaj before the advent of their popularity.

Also Karen is a supporter of Civil Clothing, be on the lookout for Karen Civil and Civil Clothing later this year. =)

San Francisco is a mecca for world travels and a unique destination for all visitors from different walks of life. It is in this unique journey, that I was able to find some much needed respite from the daily bread of the grind. Instead of the typical New Years’ Spent in the same places with the same people, I decided to embark to the bay with one of the homies from Axium. This trip wasn’t long enough, but Civil will be back next time. Take the sojourn..

New Years Eve started with a little shopping in Haight at Unionmade specializing in some very fresh workwear.

Native Prints have been big this year, this is no exception, however being taken to a furniture aesthetic, this brings new light into the inspiration.

The King of Influence.

The Visuals here remind me of Strangeloop, Lotus, Beeple type graphics. Inspiring.

This guy went off for Christmas, it isn’t over for this guy… probably continues year-round.

The Groove Merchant is one of the most epic spots and destinations for diggers, djs, producers from all over the world. At this store, you actually find a good selection of American Funk, Tropicalia, Baile Funk as well as the ultra-obscure Library records for a fair price.

The finest specialty shop in San Francisco for rare vinyl. For all you beat diggers, this IS the place to go. The records may not be as cheap as other shops, but the time you save looking for that perfect break is well worth the extra cash. Located in the Lower Haight, owner “Cool” Chris is always pleasant and when he’s not in the shop, he’s either venturing around the country in search of those hard-to-find classics or putting out his own records with label-mate Vinnie Esparza (see http://www.dis-joint.com).

As the saying goes, “you get what you pay for”, and folks like Eric Hilton (Thievery Corp.), Mike Diamond (Beastie Boys), and Dan Nakamura (The Automator) would probably attest to the quality of this shop. Oh yeah…you can listen to anything you want here, even those $100 albums on the wall.

Check Civil’s Review of Roy Ayers show this year, here’s a poster from an early tour, way back into time.

Picked up this number right here with the Hard Latin break.

Euro- Exotic Psych Pop Covers always do it for me.

GIANT BOMB.
