Flow or mad? Opposites yet the same

We are close to finishing the Fall 08 09 collection. We are excited! If you like the Spring Summer 08 collection, you'll be amazed at the Fall 08 09. I'm not just saying this to hype it up, if I wasn't passionate about the collection I wouldn't of created it.

For the Fall 08 09 collection I wanted to go back to my roots. I was born and spent most of my early childhood in China. Bamboo itself is a very powerful cultural symbol there. This collection goes back to that, it is Asian inspired. A careful mashup of Asian symbols and art with contemporary grunge and style of streetwear and fashion.

JUZD Fall 08 09 Theme

JUZD is a state of mind. When you wear a JUZD shirt you become your alpha persona, you become unstoppable.

This state can take 2 opposite forms but it’s one state. Like Yin and Yang there is Flow and Mad.

Flow, is a state when you are calm and smooth. Able to have sharp focus and become one with everything around you. You are in control, you are like water. Everything is calm, peaceful, and at an equilibrium.

Mad on the contrary is not a peaceful state. It is a very aggressive and physical state. It is a mission critical moment where force must be used. Your body is pumped, and you use your adrenaline and aggression to your advantage. In this state nothing mentally and physically can stop you. This is a dangerous and unstable state. There is a constant battle in the minds between the demons and oneself. This is a state where you must destroy to create.

While these are opposite states they are one. They are the moments when you become unstoppable.

For each design there is a flow version and a mad version. You will amazed to see the opposite of each and realize it is the same.
