This Saturday San Francisco based designer Benny Gold will release a very dope project he worked on with Sean Desmond’s The Tenderloin Project. For those that are unfamiliar, The Tenderloin Project is a collection of photographs of the overlooked San Francisco neighborhood of the same name,  shot by Desmond beginning in late 2008. The project toured the country last year and if you caught it then you know how powerful it is.

Back to the collaboration. Very limited quantities of  the black t-shirt will be available at Gold’s retail spot in SF this Saturday.

Hit the jump for more shots from the lookbook featuring local artists that worked on The Tenderloin Project alongside Desmond.

The Hundreds Paparrazi Bag

May 10th, 2010

The Hundreds brand has always been true to its laid back SoCal style, with the production of ultra-cool apparel that quietly reps for both the wave surfer as well as the urban block hugger. With the re-release of their Paparazzi bag, the Hundreds team embraces another side of Cali life- the necessity to capture flyness on film. The backpack is basic black, with plenty of room in the upper section for all of your essential gadgets and goods. The smaller pocket on the outside boasts the Hundreds logo and has just enough room for your fanciest digital camera. Now you can tote your DSLR everywhere and anywhere without looking like a straight up tourist. –Nadine Graham
