Urban Style with Don Diz
Brazilian Twins, Thadeu & Felipe Diz returned to Rio with one idea in
mind, "take everything they soaked up during 20 years of living and
working around the world to build an internationally acknowledged brand
name". The Don Diz Industries Corporation's firstborn is the trendy
clothing brand, the debut collection of which sold out in just 3 weeks.
The twins divide their time between Rio and L.A., gathering as much
inspiration from the place they claim to be the 'Mecca of Urban
Clothing'. "Nowadays, every brand likes to call itself urban but it
takes much more than that to really be one. You must have lived,
breathed and experienced a lifestyle that is unique to Los Angeles. Only
then can you call yourself an urban brand," says Thadeu.
Their Ice Cream logo is the perfect pop visual, a metaphor for hungry
clientele coming back for more. Don Diz brings together top Brazilian
talent including designers like Pedro Seixas, Yumi Inada, & Paulo
Feitosa and filmmaker Raphael Vieira to handle the visual aspect of the
"Don Diz Lifestyle." The website helps promote not only the line of
comfortable T shirts, but also upcoming artists, musicians and
filmmakers. Catchy slogans (FCK THE STK MKT, Invest in T-Shirts), cute
graphics and comfort make Don Diz sportwear a new fashion force to be
reckoned with.
So lap it up!
