I Love Ugly July collection

I Love Ugly July Collection | 2013
A man's lifestyle is as unique as he is. From his living space to his daily routines, all men are different. He surrounds himself by things that intrigue and inspire, they are what give his life meaning. From the contemporary art that hangs on his walls and his designer toy obsession, to his meticulous morning coffee brewing ritual which forms the basis of his daily routine. One must curate their environment and routine to stimulate efficient creativity.
 
Continuing with the 2nd instalment of their mid-year release, I Love Ugly's July collection reinforces the brand's artistic and illustrative roots by providing a fresh injection of printed fabrics and tailored winter ready pieces. The collection features the 'White Lady' capsule series, an all over printed lady pattern, and the Baseball Frankie series, a shirt that was originally prototyped in 2011 and resurrected for this collection. This matching shirt and shorts feature an all over baseball motif with subtle hints of branded insignia.
The collection is available now in selected retailers around the UK.ILU_8_LOCO_01736 smallILU_6_LOCO_01151 smallILU_6_LOCO_01322 smallILU_6_LOCO_01306 smallILU_3_LOCO_00629 smallILU_4_LOCO_00831 smallILU_LOCO_00169 smallILU_4_LOCO_00900 small

QL_cleon_product_07
We are super excited to announce the launch of the new Quiet Life x Cleon Peterson artist collection. Using Cleon Petersons outstanding artwork, Quiet Life will be releasing a capsule consisting of pocket t's with matching bucket hats & 5 panel caps, printed t shirts, crew sweats pullover hood & zip hood. This will be a limited release this friday 12th July.
Cleon Peterson grew up as a skateboarding “ave rat” (avenue rat) in Seattle. His notoriously liberal upbringing is examined in the work of his art photographer brother Leigh Ledare, in whose pictures Cleon himself often appears. 
Cleon cites a decade of drug addiction, and the anti-lifestyle that accompanied it, as first-hand experience of cruelty and indulgence. Artistic influences include Leon Golub, Paul McCarthy, and Mike Kelly. Cleon uses acrylics and spray paint (“it provides a flat finish”) to create his works on paper mounted on board.
By day Cleon is associate creative director at Shepard Fairey studios. He has three young children: Aubrey, Colette and Huxley. Aged 39 he lives in the mountains above Pasedena with his family.
