BEHIND THE SCENES: SUMMER LOOKBOOK

PJ Monte — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 19:42:14 +0000

Over the past 2 weeks we have been shooting the summer lookbook, between downtown and this past weekend in Montauk. Mikey Avedon has been shooting the pictures and i have been shooting the video. Stay tuned for the end products very soon.

BACK WHEN CLASS WAS THE STANDARD….

PJ Monte — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 07:30:13 +0000

I scanned these images a few years back and forgot to ever do much with them. These are some photos i found, amongst a ton of others, in a box in an attic at my family’s hotel (Gurneys). These pictures are mostly of my Grandpa and his brothers and their wives, girlfriends, and friends at my family’s old restaurant, Monte’s, in Brooklyn.

Bo’s always coming correct with his style, always on point, so expect to see his influence in the future DON collections. Between Allan (BreifRelief) and Bo we got the coolest asians on lock.

We stepped out of the city for the weekend and hit the country house.

We visited a friend, we call him Medicine Bob, who lives near the country house. Now, Bob has an interesting collection of animals on his property. Everything from horses, camels, bison, a baboon, pigs, owls, alligators, emus, about 10 dogs, and tons of rare poisonous snakes and spiders. Yeah, NORMAL, i know….

This is Bob’s Baboon, Mr. Higgins. Believe it or not, Mr Higgins is extremely fast and powerful, he also loves Genna. Like A LOT.

Bob makes all his own medicines in his lab.

This is what Bob feeds his 100+ lbs snakes: frozen rats.

And this is a portrait I snapped of Bob, himself. The injury to his hand was caused by Mr Higgins. When Bob tried to take his orange away, he bit him right through the tendon. He almost lost his finger.

WHAT WILL THEY THINK OF NEXT? by Billy Madison

Billy Madison — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 18:44:55 +0000

Watch first video before proceeding with the rest of the post:

Redefining the term “Kids do the darnedest things.” He must have written this book above or at least got editor credits cause I don’t think I’ve heard anything more awesome in a long time. This 4 year old wanted to be arrested so he could see his dad, in prison. You cant blame a kid for trying. He’s obviously on the right path, getting drunk, breaking and entering, and cross dressing. That sounds like a night for the memory books if you ask me. This kid is gonna have the coolest story at show and tell on Monday. He’s gonna get all the ladies at finger painting because everyone knows girls love a bad boy.

This kid is clearly didn’t read the book written by our friend in the video. This is not the way to cop dome on the playground.

UPDATE: Upon further review this kid probably keeps bitches in line like the US soldiers did in Vietnam, by hold a grenade to their head it ensures incase the bitch is hiding a razor blade in her mouth trying to cut your piece off she’s going to the afterlife with a mouth full of USO meat if there are any indiscretions. Good job buddy, keeping it real since 1998.

Like this girl:

Now this kid knows what the fuck is up. Prowling in shitty “myspace-style im-too-ugly-to-pose-with-other-people” photo is the way to get your name out there and increase your street cred. Fucking shit up is obviously this kids job.

But the parade was going on a few blocks from my house the other day, and I felt like I had an obligation to at least check it out and take some pictures.

When I first rolled up, I saw a few fire trucks with firemen as well as other people/Yankee fans perched on top and on the side celebrating with the cranes and construction zone of ground zero in the background, which I thought was pretty cool, and a crazy contrast.

All the paper/ticker tape/toilet paper being thrown from the windows was also eerily reminiscent of 9/11.

MIAMI NIGHTS

Nightlife in Miami is ridiculous, the epitome of uber-clubs. We ended up at LIV the first night and Teisto was spinning, WOW. (no guido though).

BIENVENIDO A MIAMI…

THURSDAY NIGHT ANTICS AT ANTIKS

Thursday night was our weekly party at Antik and also happened to be the celebration of my birth at midnight. We celebrated appropriately.

COUNTRY IN THE FALL

PJ Monte — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 02:25:39 +0000

I got out of the city Saturday morning after 72 hours of birthday celebration to get some fresh air and unwind upstate with some friends and family. Bloody Marys, ATVs, massive amounts of food, good times ensued.

Story time. This is El (with a fat lip). He decided to hit a 15′ mound of dirt full speed on an ATV. The result was lots of blood, the aforementioned fat lip, a broken ATV, and some short term memory loss due to a possible concussion.

Last Thursday at Antiks was classic. DJ Drewlife aka DJ Daddy’s Black Card made sweet love to our ears with his music and Adem at the bar did what I can only explain as manslaughter to our livers. Back again this Thursday for my pre b-day celebration (My Bday’s Friday!).

I’ll see you there:

THURSDAY NIGHT ANTIQUITIES

PJ Monte — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 00:34:48 +0000

Last night was our second Thursday at Antik. The night was crazy to say the least. DJ Drewlife aka DJ DaddysBlackCard absolutely killed it and the drinks were flowing heavily throughout the whole night. If you missed it this week, sucks for you, but we will be doing it all over next week so your still in luck.

INTERVIEW WITH MyLifeIsNY.com

PJ Monte — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 17:41:22 +0000

I recently did an interview with an awesome new website, and must-bookmark for any NYers, MyLifeIsNY.com. Check out the interview HERE.

LABOR DAY

PJ Monte — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 18:15:09 +0000

The last few days marked the conclusion of the Summer season in the Hamptons. The end of Summer is always dreaded, but it marks a reason to celebrate. And we definitely celebrated.

It was only appropriate we celebrated the weekend where we celebrated basically every weekend this summer, Dune.

An accurate depiction of how Ronnie was feeling the day after:

Damn Summer, it was good, way too short, but definitely one for the books. As I pack my bags to migrate back into the city, this song keeps playing in my head (and the video is kind of random but also somewhat appropriate, being that Brooklyn Dodgers was a huge inspiration for our Summer collection):

BEACH BUMMING

PJ Monte — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 18:45:43 +0000

Summer is unfortunately coming to a close. A realization we tend to deny until Labor Day. But while the sun is out and the water is warm, I take advantage of whatever free time i have to get my fix of the beach.

SAMPLE SALE || RECAP

PJ Monte — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 18:30:39 +0000

This weekend we held a sample sale alongside CreateBuildDestroy, Reason, Max&Suzanne, Tim Barber, and a few other select designers at the LOLA Gallery in Southampton. It was a great time and a really solid collective of brands and people. We even decided to extend the “One Day Only Sample Sale” to a second day.

If you weren’t able to swing by, take a look at some pictures from the weekend.

POKE-HER FACE, LONG TIME NO SEE, AND D.O.A. FOR GOOD MEASURE

Billy Madison — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 16:03:41 +0000

Whats good people. Long time no talk, sorry my rants and alcohol fueled tyraids have been few and far between recently been real busy working and partying my face off as only one can do in the Hamptons. Anyway, I usually hate music videos but the two most recent releases have been on point. First dropping last night, Cudi,Yeezy, and Common’s “Poke-Her Face/Make Her Say”:

And Jay’s attempt at being Tony Soprano in his latest creation “D.O.A.”:

and if you dont think he’s trying to be the best capo to ever grace the silver screen you tell me what Jay is doing in famous Italian eatery “Rao’s” and playing cards in the back room with Harvey Kaitel and the head chef. Regardless Jay kills it with the jump cuts from the studio to Rao’s to the panoramic clips of Jay standing across the river and the slow motion explosions of the sterotypes i.e. bottles of Crystal and “iced out” “bling”. Oh yea and a pick-up game with Lebron for a little extra something. The cameos in this video are just as bad as name dropping and thats my only problem with it otherwise its a great video.

As we near the last month of the summer the posts will begin to start rolling again. And once I get back to Boston come September I will be back ranting, raving, and being generally irate for no apparent reason on a regular basis.

SHOUT(Y) OUT

PJ Monte — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 01:19:06 +0000

Our fam SHOUTY is holding it down, representing DON across the globe in Korea.

TOO (MUCH) BLOOD

PJ Monte — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 21:18:41 +0000

I don’t know whats really good with this whole vampire craze recently, Twilight, True Blood, etc. I definitely haven’t jumped on that band wagon, but i just saw these two trailers and I’m not hating ‘em. Plus I’m a sucker for any videos in HD.

This one seems absolutely bizarre, but in a good way.

JUERGEN TELLER

PJ Monte — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 20:55:57 +0000

I was reading a good article about the photographer Juergen Teller in NY Magazine. I’m definitely a fan of his work and his influence can definitely be seen in the photography of Terry Richardson and in American Apparel ads.

Take a look at some of his work below:

DON.’s celebrity icon is one of the first people that comes to mind when you think mens style.

MONTAUK MONSTER 2.0

PJ Monte — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 01:21:29 +0000

I was at Gurney’s all day and a few hours ago and we saw from the offices a little gathering of people by the water. I grabbed a camera and ran down to the beach and there was a creature washed up which highly resembled last year’s Montauk Monster. Here are 2 of the pictures, i have about 20-30 more, and will release them soon.

SNEAKER PIMPS AND HOS

PJ Monte — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 15:44:01 +0000

Last Friday was Sneaker Pimps at Terminal 5 in the city. It was a great time, the whole family came through and helped hold down the DON booth. Wale, Cool Kids, Jadakiss, Big Boi, and I left by the time Clipse came on.

Portrait of Allan Yu by GennaMP

The Weinstein Crew (Greg and Drewlife) and some YouTube-star according to Greg.

A few people from London wanted the cardigans so bad they bought one of them off Allan’s sweaty Chinese body. TRUE STORY.

P.S. I left my voice there, so if anyone has any further information on it’s whereabouts hit me @info@donfashions.com.

TRAVELS… ALWAYS MOVING

PJ Monte — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 17:54:19 +0000

The Summer months bring about the constant hustle, trying to follow (or avoid) the crowds between the Hamptons and the City. As soon as I feel like i have some time to relax, there always reason to pick up and move.

SNEAKER PIMPS, WE OUT

PJ Monte — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 22:06:39 +0000

The flier speaks for itself. The DON crew will be there in full force. Swing by and pick up your gear.

SO MY CAMERA BROKE…

PJ Monte — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 18:34:01 +0000

So I have been stuck using disposable cameras, my cell phone, and other round-about ways of capturing my daily activities. Nothing really suffices or produces images that are blog-worthy or at least easy to import.

Here are the last pictures on my camera before it broke in the mean time.

DON Summer 2009 Collection || The Boys of Summer

PJ Monte — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 20:54:40 +0000

Our latest collection, draws inspiration from vintage Brooklyn Dodgers circa the 40’s and 50’s and Summertime in the Hamptons. The collection is our first venture into cut-and-sew, featuring one windbreaker, 2 cardigans, custom fitted lightweight tees, and snapback hats. The collection will be available on the Online Store as well as select boutiques worldwide shortly.

Drew hits me with the occasional text of “DON SKATE VIDEO HELL WEEK, I NEED A FEW SHIRTS AND A SHIT TON OF STICKERS” something along those lines. But clearly there is a method to the madness.

He shot me with an email today with some shots from the past few weeks.

Keep your eyes peeled for the latest video.

BEHIND THE SCENES

MEMORIAL DAY RECAP PT 1

PJ Monte — Wed, 27 May 2009 13:54:37 +0000

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know I haven’t blogged in a minute, but I am going to try and catch you up on the happenings over the weekend.

It was Memorial Day weekend in the Hamptons, and was crazy to say the least. From our day and night long photo shoot of our Summer collection on Friday (pictures coming soon), to the opening of Harbor Club, to the Hamptons Magazine party at the new Day&Night party at the Capri, and the release of the New York Hamptonite (PICK ONE UP!!) as well as managing to spend as much time at brunch and at the beach as possible, it was clearly very hectic.

More pictures and recap coming soon.

HAMPTONS 2009 || HARBOR CLUB

PJ Monte — Thu, 21 May 2009 06:50:11 +0000

The OFFICIAL spot to be this summer is The Harbor Club in Bridgehampton. The opening night is this Friday and we expect you all to be there. It is truly gonna be THE place to be this Memorial Day weekend.

It is going to be open Fridays and Sundays all summer. Contact us directly HERE to RSVP or inquire.

WELL THAT SEEMS REASONABLE

Billy Madison — Thu, 21 May 2009 04:57:56 +0000

The guy is clearly passed out when he gets thrown from his minivan as it flips, all the punching and kicking was absolutely necessary.

PARENT OF THE YEAR AWARD

Billy Madison — Wed, 20 May 2009 20:31:22 +0000

You know the logical thing to do instead of stopping this, why not grab a camera and encourage your 5 year-old child to dance like mommy does when the baby-sitter is putting you to sleep and she goes to “The Tender Trap” to make that paper. Good job.

BECAUSE MTV’S VERSION IS AWFUL

Billy Madison — Tue, 19 May 2009 05:27:08 +0000

I ripped this from Hypebeast this afternoon. A quick 5 minute cribs style interview with Steve Aoki. Aoki is one of my favorite DJ’s. His shit is really on point and he puts on one hell of a fucking show. I was lucky enough to catch the whole “Pillowface And His Airplane Chronicles” in the Hamptons last summer and needless to say he fucking destroyed the club. I heard from some friends that he brought down Cochella less then 2 months ago as well. Following the video is the one track that just hit the internets which is a Kanye mash-up. Try and get your hands legally (or illegally like everyone else) on “Pillowface And His Airplane Chronicles” if you don’t have it. It is a quality mix from start to finish. Anyway here is the video and track.

THE FINAL FORGOTTEN FRIDAY

PJ Monte — Fri, 15 May 2009 15:16:53 +0000

As you all are probably well aware, we have been doing parties over at 205 for some time now, and this Friday happens to be the final Forgotten Friday before we migrate east and get it popping closer to the beach, at Harbor Club.

I also want to thank everyone who has come through and got drunk in the basement with us over the past few months. It’s been good, let’s keep it going.

Hamptons ‘09.

CHINA, STAND UP

PJ Monte — Wed, 13 May 2009 05:39:43 +0000

Victor Ma, hasn’t forgotten about us!! He showed me that aside from bagging foreign chicks, consuming strange foods, probably speaking a lot of Chinese, and possibly becoming brainwashed by commies over there, Vic has developed quite an eye for photography. He took a break from Shanghai to spend some time in Sanya for the latter part of his trip.

Chinese 205??

Vic, when you get back from your vacation from a vacation, the car will be waiting for you at the airport going right to Harbor Club.

Hamptons, we out.
