Peels x Vans

September 16, 2019

During Euphoria's episode titled "The Trials and Tribulations of Trying to Pee While Depressed", LES and skater kids alike all did a double take in recognition of a single shirt—but to clarify, it wasn't just any shirt. Zendaya was wearing the iconic Peels work shirt. Since then, the orders did not stop coming in. Fresh off the heels of a recent Dickies collaboration, Jerome Peel presents us with a fresh collab with Vans this NYFW.

I wish lastnightsparty.com was still active because last night’s party would have made the landing page. To the crowd’s surprise, there was a 12 ft tall half-pipe ramp in the parlor of Ludlow House. No one was allowed to venture past the magic curtain without a waiver.

Every 60 seconds, or so, there was another skater falling—all you could hear were cheers, and jeers which directly competed with the DJ. Half of the guests were Straight Outta Tompkins; the other half were Bergdorf Babies. As the night progressed, the floor was littered with broken beer bottles, and wine glasses; by the time the open bar was closing, they were passing out plastic cups. Definitely a night you won’t forget...

Escaping the Glass Cage

November 19, 2024

For years, she stood still, watching life rush past her, a quiet observer behind the glass. Now, the glass is broken, and she steps out into the unknown. She walks through the city, caught between two worlds—part of it, yet apart from it.

Her journey is quiet but bold, searching for something she’s never understood, something just out of reach. On church steps and under glowing city lights, she questions everything: the rules, the past, and where she truly belongs. Each step feels both freeing and uncertain.

A curious soul in a borrowed life, she keeps moving forward, leaving behind only whispers of her escape, like a fleeting shadow in the night.
