Brand We Like: Blonde Locks

The Blonde Locks brand was started in June of 2011 by the well-established industry model, Bridget Blonde. When Bridget began modeling several years ago for some well-known street wear brands, she was introduced to a predominantly men’s fashion world that she was very much an integral part of, as a woman. Ironically, tomboys in the street scene have very few brand options to choose from- most girls like Bridget would buy men’s clothes and refashion them to make them fit for their own personalities and bodies. The Blonde Locks was originally created to satisfy the needs of these women like Bridget; women who want to run with the boys but don’t want to give up their sexy, fashion forward female identity. Of course, a girl who’s been cutting her boyfriend’s tshirts her whole life will always cut tshirts. So it naturally followed for The Blonde Locks to make some unisex and men’s wear, as well.

In July, Jocelyn joined The Blonde Locks team and, together, Bridget and Jocelyn have been making a name for the brand within the industry- and everywhere else! The Blonde Locks has grown exponentially over the last year and will continue to make big moves as they embark on their second year as a brand. Be on the lookout this August as they show off their first tshirt collaboration with photographer CAMRAFACE (Jen Rovero) and the new printed snapbacks that have already started getting snagged up all over the world. Be ready to start noticing The Blonde Locks (and doing double takes) at every crosswalk and skate park near you. And, if not near you, on you.

My name is Rudy-Jan Faber. I’m a self taught illustrator based in Leeuwarden, the Netherlands.

When I was a young boy, around the age of five, my dad taught me some basics in drawing (for some reason he denies this though…) and I’ve been passionately drawing and painting ever since. I started out drawing animals, mostly dinosaurs, then took a more cartoony approach. Around the age of ten, fueled by my addiction for ‘beat ‘em up’ video games such as ‘Street Fighter’ I started drawing bulky warriors and ninjas. It was then that I learned I liked to draw figurative drawings and character designs. In my early teenager years somehow my interest for the human figure switched from drawing tough men to drawing women and to this day this remains my main subject of choice in my personal work.

I love illustrating pin-ups. Sometimes I choose bright and colourful themes with some urban, pop-art, lowbrow influences. Other times I enjoy painting dark, eerie and macabre themed illustrations. My main focus in my work is giving my characters lots of personality.

Apart from that I still enjoy drawing cartoons very much.
