POWERED UP
THE EPITOME OF DOPE GETS POWERED UP WITH NOSTALGIC INSPIRATION FOR ITS NEXT COLLECTION.
ORIGINAL MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS
LETS TAKE IT BACK….ALL THIS SHIT REALLY STARTED BACK IN ‘06 WHEN DAVE SCOTT WAS A GIT (THAT WAS A BAR). IT IS ME, I AM HIM. I AM THE FOUNDER AND PRESENT CREATIVE DIRECTOR OF T.E.D. (THE EPITOME of DOPE). I GREW UP WATCHING POWER RANGERS INFATUATED WITH THE THEME, COLOR AND DESIGNS OF THE RANGERS UNIFORMS. I KEPT UP WITH THE RANGERS FOR A WHILE AND LOVED SEEING THE PROGRESSION OF DESIGN IN THE UNIFORMS THROUGH OUT MY YEARS WATCHING. BELEIVE ME, THIS IS ONE OF THE FEW THINGS IVE TAKEN NOTES ON IN MY LIFE. NEEDLESS TO SAY I WAS INSPIRED.
THE IDEA OF A UNIFROM WAS ALWAYS INTERESTING TO ME. I USED TO CALL THEM “GET SHIT DONE CLOTHES” BECAUSE THEY WERE ASSOCIATED WITH GOING TO SCHOOL GETTING WORK DONE OR BEING A SUPER HERO AND WHOOPIN ASS.
THIS CREATED A PROBLEM IN MY RIGHT BRAIN THOUGH…UNIFORMS ARE EITHER LAME OR COOL TO THE POINT OF CORNY. HOW TF DO I MAKE A UNIFORM SOME FLY ASS SHIT? SHIT SEEMED IMPOSSIBLE TO FIGURE OUT UNTIL I WAS INTRODUCED TO FASHION. I GUESS IT DOES MAKE SENSE FOR YOU TO KNOW HOW TO DRESS TO MAKE SOME LAME SHIT SOME FLY SHIT RIGHT? RIGHT.
PAYING ATTENTION TO COLORS, LEARNING COLOR THEORY AT A YOUNG AGE AND DEVELOPING MY OWN DESIGN AESTHETIC PUSHED ME INTO THE AREA I NEEDED TO BE IN.
IN THE EARLY STAGES OF DESIGNING CLOTHES FOR TED COLLECTIONS I ARCHIVED SEVERAL MOCKUPS BECAUSE I HAD NO IDEA HOW TO GET THEM MADE FOR REASONABLE PRICES. BUT RECENTLY THROUGH THE DISCOVERY OF OVER SEAS MANUFACTURERS CALLED PLUGS, I’VE BEEN ABLE TO MAKE ANY AND EVERYTHING THAT COMES OUT OF MY MIND.
THIS SPRING ‘22 COLLCTION IS DIRECTLY INSPIRED BY THE ORIGINAL MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS UNIFORMS. THE WIND BREAKER & JOGGER SETS ACT AS THE UNIFORMS AND INCORPARATE GEOMETRIC WHITE SHAPES. EACH SET REPRESENTS A DIFFERENT POWER RANGER THROUGH COLOR. THE RED , YELLOW, BLUE, AND PINK SETS HAVE REFLECTIVE PIPING AROUND THE WHITE AREAS WHILE THE BLACK IS REVERSED WITH WHITE PIPING AROUND THE 3M FABRIC AREAS. ALL HATS, WIND BREAKERS & JOGGERS HAVE GLORIOUS EMBROIDERED ON TO LIGHT WEIGHT NYLON/POLYESTER FABRIC PERFECT FOR SPRING WEATHER.
THE SPRING 22 DROP IS A FULL CIRCLE REPRESENTATION OF 90S AREA CULTURE THAT IS SURE TO MAKE YOU LOOK AND FEEL GOOD. YOU CAN PREVIEW THE PIECES BELOW. PRE ORDERS ARE UP OVER AT WWW.SHOPTEDDYSWRLD.COM DONT MISS OUT.
