Ladies and gentleman, crank up your Siouxsie and the Banshees, Bauhaus, Courtney Love, and The Horrors, because something wicked this way comes. Lately, I’ve noticed that downtown is getting a little bit darker… Goth and Punk are having a comeback.
At the helm of this fashion takeover is a glorious label called Obesity and Speed. Started about five years ago by Lyz Olko and Josh Conner (who were inspired by everything from punk music to horror movies), Obesity and Speed injects an edgy glamour and dark sex appeal into the current fashion climate. With a cult following of celebrities and socialites like Gwen Stefani, Miley Cyrus, Jared Leto, Becka Diamond, and Isabelle McNally; Obesity and Speed has turned up in everything from NYLON, Teen Vogue, and Elle to Purple Magazine and Us Weekly, and is sold in New York, Los Angeles, and in Japan.
I love the silk screened shirts and vintage-looking sweatshirts with pentagrams and upside down crosses; as well as, the “CHOOSE DEATH” and “Stay Sick” tees; and collection pieces such as shredded dresses and tie dye capes. To order, head on over to www.obesityandspeed.com and take a closer look at their killer collections while you’re there.
