The Perfect Backdrop: The Nude Bowl
For this drop, we chose to shoot at the iconic Nude Bowl, a legendary skateboarding spot with a rich history. Located outside Desert Hot Springs, California, the Nude Bowl was once part of a naturist resort named "Desert Gardens Ranch." This abandoned kidney-shaped pool has seen its share of adventures and has become a symbol of rebellion and resilience.
From its beginnings as a skateboarding haven in the late 1970s to its turbulent days of large parties and eventual destruction in the 1990s, the Nude Bowl has always been a place for those who live on the edge. Despite numerous attempts to bury it, the pool has been resurrected by dedicated skateboarders who refuse to let it fade into obscurity. Today, it stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of those who dare to defy the odds.
The Visionaries: Carol Hadad and Lucas Cartaxo
The creative direction and photography for the "Flow Crew" drop were led by Carol Hadad, a talented photographer, creative director, and producer from Brazil, now residing in San Diego, California. Carol's passion for fashion and skateboarding is evident in her work, and she draws inspiration from her travels around the world. The diverse cultures and people she encounters infuse her projects with a unique and vibrant energy.
The visuals were filmed by Lucas Cartaxo, adding dynamic and captivating motion to the story of the "Flow Crew." Together, Carol and Lucas have captured the essence of what it means to live life to the fullest, bringing the spirit of the collection to life.
The Talent: Summer and Lucas Pazolini
Featuring in this drop are talented humans Summer and Lucas Pazolini. Their skill and enthusiasm for skate and fashion perfectly embody the adventurous and free-spirited nature of the "Flow Crew." Summer and Lucas's performances highlight the versatility and style of the collection, showing that it's not just about fashion—it's a way of life.
