Hey all, whats cracking, whats new, whats really really really good? Anyhows, I have a new Vlog (see below). Vlogs are so easy to do mehn. Enjoy! ;)

Allen & Fifth

Color Me Evri

Hey guys,

Whats really good. Its been a minute I posted something up (tsk tsk). I am going to try my best to post entries as often as I can....I am almost tempted to say I want to post stuff on a daily basis but that aint gonna happen.

Whats new on the corner of Allen & Fifth? UniTees! I introduced these not too long ago in base white but they now also available in really funky colors...in fact take a look for yourself (below) Currently available for sale in the US, these will be hitting Lagos and Abuja soonish.

Also on deck is "I got ninety nine problems but my style aint 1" tee inspired by Jay Z's hit single. We decided to take a another spin on the phrase cos it speaks to people of African heritage who preserve "they sexy" regardless of what we are going through. Deep huh? :) We hope you like it.

Stay tuned for more freshness...

This is my very first vlog. I thought it would be weird watching myself talk but its not as bad as I expected. I hope to have more vlogs up showing cool stuff (at least my idea of cool) around t-shirts and design and just overall freshness :D

The UniTee is in production. They should be ready realllllllly soon so stay tuned. Meanwhile I restocked on 10 over 10 T-shirts for those of you who wanted them. Thats all the updates I have for now. Enjoy the video (its a little dated sha)

World Premier - UniTee

Hey all! Checkout the latest t-shirt design from Allen & Fifth. Its called the Unity T-Shirt (or UniTee) representing the 3 major tribes in Nigeria. It has become one of my favorite designs and I hope you like it too.

Also in the works is "The" Allen & Fifth signature tee which features Allen & Fifth text logo. This is actually my handwriting so I have a special connection to it :D

Share with friends and send your pre-orders to ese@allenandfifth.com

Many Thanks!

Naeto C rocks Allen & Fifth in 10 over 10 video

Wassup Wassup!

If you were in Naija/Lagos over the Holidays I'm sure you were bumping to Naeto C's 10 over 10 single. Anyhow the video is out on his website and to my surprise I found out on twitter that Naeto was rocking Allen & Fifth ThumbPrint tee :D (my head is still swelling). Its a dope video...I've watched it over 5 times today.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year All! I hope this year brings you enormous joy.

2010 is done and over with however there remain some memories that I would lovvvve to share with you guys.

I was priviledged to be at Maye Hunta's video shoot of Owo Faaji in Lagos, Nigeria. This was my first time being on set. Let me tell you that shooting a video is lot of work. Never the less I didn't have to do much but seat and watch :D and take pictures.

A big shout out to Maye Hunta, DJ T, Uti, Nel Cater, ADK, Loadz and all those who showed me love on the set. I really appreciate it.

Don't forget to ff me on twitter (@allenandfifth) to get all the exclusives on Allen & Fifth!

All pics are now up on Flickr

On Shades

Ever since I got hold of a friend's hot pink shades, its been hard to part with it (besides its mine now). Colorful shades are fun, free, lively and cool...and as far as I am concerned they suit all ages when worn right of course.

You can pair them up with pretty much anything. It really doesn't matter whether you coordinate your outfit...matching isn't necessarily the way to go. If you do match then it also serves as the perfect accessory.

Colorful shades are amazing casual-urban-wear complements. Picture you on a sunny day in a sheer tee, either plain or graphic, paired with a pair of black jeans with mustard sandals...and ofcourse your mustard shades on. Don't you look divine? I think you do too.

Finally you don't have to spend a whole lot of money to get one of these....the pair I rock (and rock well) go for about $5....and I feel like a million bucks in them :).

Until next time,
Wear Out Loud!
