I've known Angel for sometime and I was glad to run across this interview from sneakerfreaker.com. Supra has become one of the most sought out sneaker. If I wear these shoes at a fashion show or at Target, people always stop me to ask what kind of shoes they are and where they can get them. I also sport his clothing line KR3W. Check it out!
SF Interview-
I know what you mean. What is the essence of Supra? Supra is a Latin word that stands for ‘above and beyond’, that’s where I got the word from. Names are very important and it has to sound right. So that’s that.
Has the success exceeded your expectations so far? I don’t know man, I think we’re just getting started. I mean, I’m happy and I’m satisfied that we’ve caught everybody’s attention and people are loving our stuff. I was hyped to see Little Wayne and Jay Z wearing Skytops at the BET awards recently. A lot of people are embracing the shoes, it’s all organic, it’s happening on its own.
You’ve partnered with Steve Aoki and Samantha Ronson and Chad Muska of course. It seems genuine to me and I think kids are responding to the fact that they’re close to the brand and they’re a nice fit with what you’re about. Are you a little cynical about the way some brands associate themselves with celebrities? No comment. Everyone does their own thing. I just know that for me personally, I have to make this connection and the people that we have given stuff to are actually our friends. We’re not paying money to place the product. They’re my friends. Like I said, we don’t pay an agency $20,000 a month to place our products (laughs). I mean, you couldn’t pay me to put something on that I don’t like. I think that’s how they feel as well and I appreciate that. I don’t want to mention any names.

ITS NICE TO WISH FOR THINGS TO WISH TO WANT... AGAIN, AGAIN
Things I had to have on Warped Tour '08 are: My laptop (MacBook Pro) , Supra Shoes, Kr3w skull t-shirts, a book (The Beautiful Fall), Shampoo (Nick Chavez), and something I cannot live without is my Black Berry. Oh and my flip camera. You're so most definitely welcome.
So I write about Katy Perry and well it has been a Katy P packed week. It started off with stylist Johnny Wujek and I teaming up again to style Katy Perry's record release party. That meant styling Katy, Perez Hilton, four band members, two models, Katy's super assistant and friend Susanna Sansone, Pierre Baltadano, and Andrew Garfield. So you can say we had our hands full. For Katy we had three changes: Arrival, Performance, and after party. Her arrival we did a Mermaid-esque gypsy look with a pink, sequined costume top and a tight green high wasted skirt by Elsie Katz paired with green, sequined shoes by Mui Mui. For Perez Hilton, we did a Harold Zedler ring master inspration. We filmed Perez's fitting for Myspace Fashion's The Fit so look out for that. Katy 2nd look was an ice cream dress by Jeremy Scott. Pink shoes by converse.
Katy's 3rd and final look was a yellow music note dress by Jeremy Scott and black and white bleeding shoes by Sergio Rossi
I was a Giant tomato, was meant to be a cherry, looked more like an apple. Shoes by Supra... You're welcome!
So Shannon Woodward and I hit up a P.S. Arts event on Thursday. P.S. Arts is a great charity that is restoring the arts to public education. I'm trying to help the kids one vodka-soda at a time. Ok, Ok, 2 or 3 at a time. Hey! Don't judge me! It's for the kids.
I attended the premiere of Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz's new movie What Happens In Vegas with producer Eduardo Della Fiore in Westwood Thursday May 1, 2008. I thought the movie would be dumb and slapstick, and it was, but it was also very cute and I had a few good laugh out loud moments. For me the ending was the funniest. So I'll say this is a great date movie . Cameron and Ashton have great chemistry as they're both like two big kids having fun and you will too.
I'm representing jewlery by ArchAngel and shoes by Supra on the red carpet. What it do?
Actress Fernanda Romero showed up with some very cute arm candy, actor Billy Marquart.
I think Bai Ling's punishment for pulling a Wynona Ryder was a life sentence of bad bad fashion.
