On a visit to San Francisco in April of 2010 I had the chance to work with Joshy and Mike from Rebel8; we had met each other for the first time more than two years earlier in Los Angeles.

In 2009 they visited me in Hamburg, and now it was my turn to travel again. We discussed the final details on the Rebel8 X Dickies project, which came out in 2010 and was available in just a handful stores globally.

Here are some pictures of the Rebel8 HQ and the great evening we had together; if you ever make it to SF, check out Weird Fish! The food and the people were great and, guys, thanks for the amazing experience.

In April 2010 I visited San Francisco; this city is truly amazing. The weather was great and I had good meetings, and some fun in the evenings, with the guys from Deluxe Skateboarding and Rebel8.

I took a few photos; check them out below and in this Flickr set.

On a visit to Los Angeles in May 2008, I realized that the staff in the Alife Store on Fairfax was wearing Dickies shorts. I started a chat with them and the idea for the ALIFE X DICKIES collaboration was born.

When I was back home, I contacted the guys at Alife HQ in New York, and they liked the idea of doing something nice together. So we met in the September 2008 in their office. Check out some impressions of the office.

At that meeting, we discussed how the products should look and, a year later, we launched a set of shorts, pants, jackets, and shirts. This line of special products launched a year later in august 2009. You can see the actual products in this post.

In the summer of 2008, I had the opportunity to visit Seoul. What a great city: amazing people, interesting places to spend time and good food. Please see a few more of my impressions after the jump.
