Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 21 August, 2007 : - - Kapor Hamilton Public Relations (KHPR) is pleased to announce the addition of three new clients. Raw 7, OBEY Clothing and the 2007 Surfer Poll and Video Awards have retained the agency and join the ranks of ASICS, Jenny Han and Actions Sports Group (ASG) events including the Oakley Newport Beach Pro, O’Neill Cold Water Classic and Macy’s California Trifecta Surf Series on the agency’s impressive roster. “We are really excited to add each of these three new clients to our growing roster,” says KHPR co-owner Rachel Kapor. “Each of them brings something unique to the table and are a great mix of the contemporary, streetwear and action sports brands we’re passionate about working with.” Raw 7 offers avant-garde luxury apparel for trendy men and women. Crafted of the finest materials, including baby-soft cashmeres and premium leathers, Raw 7 includes tops with irreverent tattoo-inspired graphics and embellishments. Also by Raw 7 are the exclusive and ornate collection 7th Asylum by Raw 7, and distinctive knits with organic designs, crystals and leather appliqués from the Royalty by Raw 7 collection.
With a long list of celebrity endorsers, such as Jessica Alba, Paris Hilton and David and Victoria Beckham, as well as top tier distribution at the world’s best department and specialty stores, Raw 7 is the epitome of attitude with an edge. KHPR will debut the brand’s Spring 2008 collection, including its new underwear line, at Project Las Vegas, Booth 9053 9th Ave., Aug. 27-29. Inspired by the iconic imagery and philosophy of Shepard Fairey, OBEY Clothing was launched in 2001. Working closely with fashion designers Mike Ternosky and Erin Wignall, Fairey translates his philosophy into altered-classic styles. Each season, multiple themes and ideas are thrown into the melting pot, creating a style often difficult to categorize.
Because of the diversity in influences, OBEY Clothing can be seen everywhere from backstage at high-end runway shows to local specialty skate shops. OBEY Clothing can be found in the finest retailers and is distributed internationally in 21 countries with five OBEY flagship stores open to date. KHPR will be showing the collection in New York City, by appointment, Sept. 26-27.
