Man, you will not believe what I’ve been up to lately. I’ve been diving deep into this whole streetwear scene, and let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride. So, you know how I’ve always been into skateboarding, right? Well, I stumbled upon this brand, Palace Skateboards, a few years back. The founder, this guy Lev Tanju, really caught my attention. He’s not just some businessman; he’s a real creative force, turning his passion into something big.
I started following Palace’s journey, watching their videos, you know, the ones shot on VHS. Those videos have such a cool 90s vibe, really takes you back. It is awesome how they use these videos to promote the brand and their skate team. It felt like I was part of their crew, even though I was just watching from my computer.
Then, bam! Just the other day, I saw this announcement that blew my mind. Fila, you know, the classic sportswear brand, they appointed Lev Tanju as the creative director for their new line, Fila+. I was like, “No way!” This dude, who started with a small skate shop in London, is now heading up a major line for a global brand. Talk about a glow-up!
I immediately started digging around to learn more about this. Turns out, Lev’s been building Palace for about 15 years now. It is not just a brand; it’s become this iconic name in streetwear. And now, he’s taking on this huge role at Fila+, which they’re calling an “elevated” line. I’m super curious to see what he’s going to do with it.
It is not just about the clothes, though. It is Lev’s story that’s got me hooked. Here’s this guy, 41 years old now, who’s been grinding for years, building his own thing. And now he’s taking on this new challenge, bringing his unique style to a century-old brand. That is the kind of stuff that really inspires me, you know?
I’ve been spending hours going through articles, watching interviews, anything I can find about Lev and this new Fila+ line. It is like, this is more than just fashion; it’s about creativity, passion, and making your mark on the world. I am totally here for it.
I even started sketching some designs, thinking about what I would do if I were in Lev’s shoes. It is just for fun, but it’s gotten me thinking about how cool it would be to create something that resonates with people the way Palace does. It is not just about looking good; it’s about feeling connected to something bigger, a culture, a community.
I do not know where this is all going, but I am excited. It is like, witnessing this whole thing unfold has sparked something in me. I feel like I’m learning a ton, not just about streetwear, but about what it takes to turn a vision into reality.
So, yeah, that’s what I’ve been up to. Diving into the world of Lev Tanju, Palace Skateboards, and now Fila+. It is a lot more than just clothes; it’s a whole story, a movement. And I am here, soaking it all in, feeling inspired, and who knows, maybe I will even start something of my own someday. How cool would that be?
