DISCOVER THE RAINBOW IN YOU!

Call me Crazy:
Here’s to The MISFITS. THE OUTSIDERS. The REBELS. THE diehard INDIVIDUALISTS who are PREDICTABLY UNPREDICTABLE. Graciously moving in and out of their PLENTIFUL PERSONAS becoming ALL they are… DISCOVERING ALL they CAN BE. THE ONES WHO DO IT DIFFERENTLY. AND MAKE THEIR OWN RULES. RESPECT THEMSELVES… not the status quo. The ones you LOVE TO LOVE and LOVE to hate. You HAIL them…then NAIL them. But you definitely don’t forget them. BECAUSE THEY ARE THE AGENTS OF CHANGE. THEY CREATE, INVENT, EXPLORE, INSPIRE. THEY PUSH US FURTHER. THEY MAKE US ALL SHINE BRIGHTER. They come in ALL FORMS. From ALL WALKS OF LIFE. THEY ARE CRAZY ENOUGH TO DREAM BIG and BELIEVE THEY CAN CHANGE THE WORLD…AND DO. So PLEASE CALL ME CRAZY. I HOPE YOU’RE CRAZY TOO. I’VE JUST ALWAYS SEEN MYSELF IN EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU.

Ladies and Gents,
Buy a limited edition T and Tote to support the victims of Japan’s earthquake. LOVE ALL-

Sas+Colin’s collection is bold. Original. Iconic. Check out Queen Nefertiti…REMIXED!

” “Sas + Colin” is a collective visual blanket told in a language of 60’s liberation and childhood distortion.
A literal marriage of ideas and influences. A combined, merged and switching of our artistic identities. We are not understated, it is not our calling. We create Super Heroes of an imagined landscape. Bordering art and design, translating what came before into what could be. Trying to visualize what we are, we find our destination is being constructed as we journey towards it. With forward motion “Sas + Colin” is an embodiment of our iconography, using a language of our personal idolatry we sift through our composite cultural gold mine to create new possibilities. Being together, trusting in each other and moving forward.”

Before there was color, there was black and white.

In a new comedy from the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright of Ruined, Lynn Nottage draws upon the screwball films of the 1930’s to take a funny and irreverent look at racial stereotypes in Hollywood. BY THE WAY, MEET VERA STARK is a seventy year journey through the life of Vera Stark, starring Sanaa Lathan a headstrong African-American maid and budding actress, and her tangled relationship with her boss, a white Hollywood star desperately grasping to hold on to her career. When circumstances collide and both women land roles in the same Southern epic, the story behind the cameras leaves Vera with a surprising and controversial legacy scholars will debate for years to come.
