    Splitting time between Brooklyn, New York and Hilo, Hawai'i- Joey Trisolini grew up in a small town named Ka'a'awa on the east side of Oahu, Hawai'i. An otherwise unknown little town with only 1300 residents, its claim to fame is a short clip in the Hollywood surfing movie Blue Crush, showcasing Ka'a'awa's tiny elementary school. Joey got into skateboarding at the age of 13 and used disposable cameras to document his friends, dropping each roll off at the local 7-11. Skateboarding and taking photos came hand in hand. After a short stint of documenting life in Italy and New Mexico, he eventually took the plunge and moved to New York to join a friend working at Milk Studios. This became a jumping off point to assist some of the world's leading fashion and advertising photographers for the next 6 years, working on campaigns for Dior, Calvin Klein, Prada and many others.

    We first set out to make a better wetsuit for women. We weren't happy with our options, so we made our own. We questioned things and found joy breaking from convention. When our global realities changed this year, it was an opportunity to take a hard look at ourselves. Were we still proud of what we'd created? Did it still resonate? We knew we wanted to create a business that was a more genuine reflection of our hearts and the times. So in our new vision of the world, we're here for more dynamism, more raw creativity, and fewer labels. To hell with formulaic. Let's make what we want and call it what we want. We're now the products we're proud to put a price tag on and a brand studio for collaboration and hire. Because breaking the rules is a beautiful thing.

They were the cool kids, dressed iconically in 1990s amalgamations of post-punk band tees and hip-hop-inspired streetwear. “It wasn't like anything I had seen before in Hawaiʻi,” the stylist says. “It was so foreign, so extravagant, so raw.” To Okata, then just a kid in Kaimukī working summers at his dad's bento shop, their world was mere fantasy. Never did he imagine that a decade later it would be his reality."
