Pinky Liberachi - Love Pink EP

Please allow me to introduce you to one of the next great R&B artists, Pinky Liberachi. Based off his name alone he’s destined for stardom, but you better believe he has the musical talents to back it up. Guys like The Weeknd and Ty $ign have brought new life to the R&B genre in recent years and Mr. Liberachi is poised to do the same.

10 seconds into Pinky Liberachi’s “Love Pink” EP (as well as a glance at the cover art) and you know that you’re getting something different: a heavy dose of guitar. In a time where Rap and R&B genres are oversaturated with copycats, Pinky’s music breathes fresh life and couldn’t come at a better time. Pinky is a native of Lexington, Kentucky, a state not exactly known for its musical output (although Bryson Tiller was born just an hour or so away in Louisville) but his music certainly brings some of that Southern soul to the rest of the country.

My dude Joshton Peas, who undeniably knows his music and is an underrated presence in the music biz, first turned me onto Pinky and will be releasing “Love Pink” under his new management company “Ain’t hit Funny.”

I was blessed with the project a little early, and I can tell you it’s as solid a debut project as you’ll find these days. My two favorite tracks are Lil Mama Interlude and OMW, but make sure you give the whole project a full spin through.

Name: John J. Lee ( IG @johnjunglee )

Favorite Lust Piece? “My favorite Lust piece would have to be the gold Unix bracelet. It's simple, clean and versatile.”

What are some of your favorite brands at the moment? 

“Currently my favorite brands are: Saint Laurent, Fear Of God and Maison Margiela.”

Your Instagram aesthetic is super clean. Where do you get style inspiration from?

“Thank you! I draw inspiration from a wide variety of places - the runway, magazines / blogs, the streets and my friends (shoutout to the #gridgvng fam); just to name a few. I love how positive and supportive the fashion community is, especially on Instagram. It's great being able to share ideas and inspire one another.”

Does your style shown on social media match with your personality?

“I would like to think so. I'm a very creative and passionate person, and hopefully that shows through via social media. I try to be as authentic and organic as possible with my visuals, so that my followers can get to know me better. My style changes and evolves as I grow. But I believe overall, I'm pretty consistent. I have a diverse palette and eclectic taste; which I think makes it more interesting.”

What are the top 3 kicks in your current sneaker rotation?

“I would have to choose the following (in no particular order): Yeezy Boost 350 (turtle doves), Visvim FBT Shaman and Y-3 Qasa Low (prime knit).”

What do you see (or hope) to be doing five years from now?

“In five years, I hope to be a Creative Director - leading a multi-disciplinary team, designing innovative, beautiful and meaningful designs.”

Interview: Lily Valencia

Meet Lily Valencia. The talented Southern California based photographer who brings a unique perspective through the lens and creates something amazing. 

Name: Lily Valencia ( IG @litttlelily) 

Age: 28

Location: Los Angeles 

Favorite Lust Piece: “My favorite Lust Ltd. piece would have to be the gold Ilona Bracelet. What I love most about it is that it compliments almost any outfit, casual or formal, on it's own. And it also pairs nicely with other bracelets or watches. It's sleek, simple style is perfect for me.”

Tell our audience a bit about yourself and how you found your passion for photography?

“I'm 28 years old. I was born and raised in sunny Southern California. I come from a big family; one brother and three sisters. I'm in accounting for a wholesale jewelry company and photography is one of my hobbies. I've always loved documenting memories, but it wasn't until I graduated high school that I started to experiment more with photography. With Instagram's popularity over the years, I've been inspired and I've continued to develop my skill and style.”

How would you describe your photography style? What inspires you to shoot and create? 

“My photography style is forever changing. My tones usually depend on the lighting and setting in a photograph as well. If you look at my work you'll notice there are a lot of warm tones and golden hour shots, but you'll also see a lot of moody, darker photos. I gather inspiration from other photographers I admire, but I get most of my inspiration from my surroundings. Whether it's the fresh west coast beaches, the urban and architectural views of Los Angeles or the beautiful mountain landscapes.”

How would you describe your personal style? 

“I wear a lot of black and white with touches of gold jewelry. My style is very simplistic but I like to think it has a touch of classiness.”

Does your style shown on social media match with your personality?

“I believe it does. A lot of my photography gives a very laid back and soothing feel. That's me. I enjoy spending time at the beach to watch the sunset, or going on a hiking adventure in the mountains. Great vibes, great company and most importantly, great memories to document.”

What do you see (or hope) to be doing five years from now?

“I hate to think that far ahead because saying goodbye to my 20's scares me! lol But in all seriousness, I hope to be doing a lot more traveling and photography in the future.”

Who are your 5 favorite people to follow on Instagram? 

“So tough! Too many good accounts out there but off the top of my head I'd have to recommend, and in no particular order, are @__kevohin, @nikk_a, @twistdee, @alinatsvor, and @kev_alvarez”

SNEAKER NEWS -   CONCEPTS NIKE SB GRAIL COLLECTION

Concepts is dropping something new and dope with the team over at Nike SB. Continuing their long history in the skate culture, Concepts has teamed up once again to bring their largest sneaker collaboration project to date. Check out the designs below and learn how to get your hands on a pair. 

The collaboration is composed of three different models the Janoski Max, Nike SB Dunk High, and the Nike SB Dunk Low. Each inspired by different artistic elements this collaboration is defiantly unique and first of its kind. 

- Nike SB Janoski Max “Mosaic”

Faded pastels in the upper portion of the sneaker gives a unique coloring and texture. Through time the sneaker creates its own blending from wear and unveils the pure white suede underlay.

The design extends from the sneaker to even the shoebox. Concepts designed a custom mosaic box, and also features Stained Glass detailing in each sneaker footbed. 

- Nike SB Dunk Low “Grail”

The sneaker features an iridescent upper that shifts color slightly as it catches the light. Complete with custom golden skull lacelocks, the sneaker also features a clear translucent outsole as well as custom branded insoles.

The packaging comes in a silver box with gold accents, and will also be available in two sets of limited edition packaging that are in­store exclusives for Concepts customers in NYC and Cambridge MA. 

- Nike SB Dunk High “Stained Glass”

Each pair is entirely unique and one of a kind. No two prints have the same stained glass design. The process in making the shoe involves multiple steps of printed leather with textured clear overlays being bonded together to replicate the look and feel of stained glass.

Packaged in a matching custom box exclusive to Concepts.

The collection will be released exclusively online at cncptsintl.com at 12pm eastern July 25 and in­store at Concepts Cambridge MA and NYC on July 25th  at 8am eastern.

Lust Limited Friendship Capsule

     Founders Phil Rivers and Shayan Afshar’s friendship dates back long before Lust Limited was ever conceived. Back to a time when Reebok Pumps were a must have and everyone wore neon colored nylon friendship bracelets. That time period, those bracelets and those kicks played a heavy part in the inspiration for the Lust Limited Friendship Capsule.

     In order to capture what the Friendship collection symbolizes, we collaborated with up and coming rap phenom Danny Seth and his boys at SXSW. Their close knit group has been through many ups and downs together but remained tight through it all. The Friendship Capsule uses a variety of materials to represent the importance of remembering who your day one homies are and to keep you looking mad fresh. Available in very limited numbers, pick up your pieces from the new collection HERE.
