Rocksmith Fall 2013 Lookbook featuring Curren$y

From the streets of New York and Tokyo, Rocksmith emerged. Erik Marino and Kenshin Ichikawa started a brand that was bound to materialize the greatness of the metropolis.
 
Blend in hip-hop, street culture, fusion and an always growing will and power to deliver the best visuals street fashion can find and one has Rocksmith.
 
We talked with Erik Marino and Kenshin Ichikawa about the roots of the brand, Japanese roots and more.
 
Read below.
 
 

What’s the story behind the establishment of Rocksmith?
 
Rocksmith was launched in 2004, at a time where New York City and Tokyo we very connected by street fashion and culture. Co-Founder Kenshin Ichikawa, although based in NYC left to Japan to connect with record label The Life Entertainment and various other liaisons from Tokyo FM to street fashion crews. Kenshin convinced Rocksmith Co-Founder Erik Marino the exit corporate fashion in NYC and move to Tokyo to start the brand. Rocksmith launched as a full cut n sew collection and was Asia exclusive for a year while they partied, drank nonstop Boss canned cold coffee and designed alongside a group of Tokyo’s hottest Dj’s who were distributing the product. That chapter of the brand was naturally raw, as the local hip hop, b-boy culture; street wear was at a golden point. Rocksmith was too hot to keep only in Japan so a homesick Kenshin and Erik returned to NYC to launch the brand out of a hotel room in Las Vegas. The entry into the US market was an easy one, as both Kenshin and Erik independently designed and owned previous street wear brands stocked at some of the best boutiques in the country from Union to Red Five earlier in the decade.
 
The brand has been around for more than 10 years, how has it evolved during that time?
 
Rocksmith has evolved organically and at a calculated pace. Tactical growth on the upwards, while shipping just the right amount of product. We expanded our offering, opened a first store in NYC, partnered in designing the Wutang Brand Limited collection, added a lot of talented people to our team, gone global and are still having fun. Since we are a music lifestyle brand, we move like music moves, it doesn’t stop.
 
Hip hop still is one of the brand’s strongest inspirations – will it remain like that? Has the brand ever considered moving its focus towards other themes/segments?
 
Hip Hop will always be an inspiration and in the DNA of Rocksmith. Hip Hop is probably the most influential movement in our lives; it brought so many cultures together. We have lived many elements and stages of it and learned from previous heads. Thematically though, like hip hop in the form of “trap” or fused with edm… cultures are a big loud and beautiful mix right now. We like creating visual’s and fashion to music in the same way producers enjoy creating music to a visual. That’s the vibe we are on.
 
Is there still a considerable Japanese influence?
 
From the onset, yes Japanese street fashion and culture has been an influence. Our team is the Ninja Squad, Kenshin “Osaka Jones” family goes back to the way back in Osaka, warfare. Textile. Samurai shit. 90′s Japanese street fashion was just dope as well; good design is on the comeback.
 
Just how important is content creation for Rocksmith? Not thinking just in terms of sales, but also as a way of connecting to the community/fans.
 
Content creation is a massive part of our DNA, the second part of our brand is the lifestyle component, which plays into not just the fashion, but the music, art, culture, influences and everything else that inspires us our consumers daily. It is our job as a brand to go beyond the clothing, and create a cultural experience through content and lifestyle that brings all these pieces together to better tell the story of our brand and movement.
 
Finally, a message to all fans Rocksmith and a note about upcoming collections
