royal issue 8
Royal 8 entitled Design in Conflict brings to you
the Collision of Culture and Capitalism which we have become known for.
This issue features: WESC, Brian Collins of Ogilvy + Mather, King Stampede, Mishka,
Le Messie of FALSE, and Yasuhiro Mihara of PUMA MIHARA .
Salute to the masses. Collisions, Culture and Capitalism abounds. This is by far the most ambitious launch we've ever undertaken. Two Back-to-Back Issue Drops / Over 400 Pages of content. Personally, I'm amazed that D.G and Myself were able to accomplish this herculean task. It stands as testament to the strength of The KDU. From MK Lane in Rome, to Mateo in Budapest, to Danimal in New Zealand, to Valp in Warsaw, to Le Messie in Singapore, to Von in London and to the myriad KDU Members scattered throughout the states I believe we've shown that our reach and relevance is truly global.
In this issue we take a look at the newest generation of Streetwear Brands making their mark and defining a new consumer market in the process. We spoke with: King Stampede, Mishka NYC, Leroy Jenkins, Mighty Healthy, Crooks N Castles, Spoonfed, Lushlife, Reason and others. We also bring you an in-depth conversation with Greger Hagelin / CEO of WESC WE are the Superlative Conspiracy, who just recently opened their SOHO store. From small start-up brands we go straight to Fortune 500 Companies with the works of Brian Collins, Director of the Brand Integration Group at Ogilvy + Mather. He's responsible for managing and defining some of the biggest brands in the world, i.e Coca-Cola, Kodak, Delta, Hershey's, Miller and more. All of that prime content is encased in a Foil printed Cover, front and back.
The Royal is first and foremost a Printed Cultural Artifact and should be seen and held in hand. I'd like to offer you a sneak peak at some of the outstanding artwork and spreads. I bring you this, The 8th Issue of The Royal: Design in Conflict. Devour and Enjoy.

Call it what you will; This be THAT WORK. Ever on the Grind. I hope y'all could feel that. Get at me with any feedback y'all might have regarding the mag. It'll be distributed trough out NYC in the coming weeks and should be available outside the city soon.
