Bobby’s launching his new collection at this year’s <a href="http://acehotel.com/content" target="_blank">Content</a> at Ace Hotel Portland, steered by <a href="http://www.smartusa.com/" target="_blank">smart</a>. Steer yourself our way this Sunday — $5 of all tickets go toward Hurricane Sandy relief efforts.</p> <p><em>I started drawing “LiFT” with an upwards arrow for the “i” on my skateboards when I was in the 8th grade. I hoped writing “LiFT” would give me more height or ‘lift’ when I was ollieing. Always seeking to progress, I found an ancient silkscreen that belonged to my aunt in my basement and taught myself how to silkscreen LiFT concepts.</em></p> <p><em>I loved the creative freedom silkscreening gave me, I could put anything I wanted onto a shirt. I soon found that shirts and clothing generally were an incredible means of self expression. I began getting my message out and it seemed to resonate with people.  </em></p> <p><em>After interning at Weiden + Kennedy in Tokyo, I took a job in marketing causing my creativity to lagg. After about a year, I got inspired do a line of tanks for summer with a new mission to connect with the community in a positive way, a commitment to the environment, philanthropy, pushing the envelope of design and manufacturing in the Northwest and maintaing an overall positive perspective.</em></p> <p><em><img src="http://assets.acehotel.com/images/blog/bobby-pockets.jpg" width="500"/></em></p> <p><em><br/></em></p> <p><em>That summer, the line of tank tops sold out and it became clear that I could make a living doing what I love. I left my salaried job to follow my passion for LiFT. Over a year later, LiFT is carried by rad shops in Portland, San Francisco and San Diego and has been featured in local media and on Portlandia and Girls.</em></p> <p><em>I’m incredibly proud that my new line is sewn entirely in Portland. I pattern out the shirts and pants. The crewnecks with Pendleton pockets are knit here by Columbia Knit.  My chambray button up is made of organic cotton/hemp blend and my collaborative shirts with Foster Huntington and Mao Kudo are printed on organic cotton. It’s my goal to use more sustainable and eco-conscious fabrics moving forward, and it’s important to me to give back to the community by donating time, money and supplies to some amazing non-profits like Ecotrust, Salmon Nation, p:ear, The Listening Archive & Focus the Nation. LiFT is a member of 1% for the Planet, an organization founded by Yvon Chouinard, and we donate at least 1% of our total sales to an non-profit of our choice (Ecotrust).</em></p> <p><em>The company has evolved immensely since it’s conception. I’m happy that “LiFT” and the “STAY LiFTED” mantra have remained a constant in my life. On days when things are especially overwhelming, I take a moment to breathe and remind myself to stay lifted.</em></p> <p><em>And, yes, I am related to Napoleon. My father’s father hired a genealogist to trace back the lineage to Corsica and the man himself. We share a similar nose, stature and drive.</em></p> <p>It’s obvious, however, that Bobby has that chip that Napoleon was missing about everyone working together for the greater good. Evolution! It’s a beautiful thing!</p> <p><img src="http://assets.acehotel.com/images/blog/bobby-screening.jpg" width="500"/></p> </blockquote>http://liftlabel.tumblr.com/post/35304842684http://liftlabel.tumblr.com/post/35304842684Thu, 08 Nov 2012 19:38:54 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mcy5uvgq8A1ql2y9to1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://liftlabel.com/products-page/tops/pocket-loop-scarf-with-pendleton-wool/" target="_blank">Pocket Loop Scarf with Pendleton Wool</a></p>http://liftlabel.tumblr.com/post/34957706344http://liftlabel.tumblr.com/post/34957706344Sun, 04 Nov 2012 00:59:00 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mcy09xbWyq1qzleu4o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://liftlabel.tumblr.com/post/34957558824http://liftlabel.tumblr.com/post/34957558824Sun, 04 Nov 2012 00:56:52 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mca3idDkMF1rdkhyxo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mca3idDkMF1rdkhyxo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>ACE HOTEL</p>http://liftlabel.tumblr.com/post/34957512826http://liftlabel.tumblr.com/post/34957512826Sun, 04 Nov 2012 00:56:05 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lj8n4kRwos1qb15odo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://liftlabel.tumblr.com/post/34957379327http://liftlabel.tumblr.com/post/34957379327Sun, 04 Nov 2012 00:53:48 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lj8n7g5Uuv1qb15odo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://merajaan.tumblr.com/post/4392097793/yves-klein-falling-yeah-thats-him-freefalling" target="_blank">merajaan</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Yves Klein falling, yeah that’s him freefalling</p> </blockquote>http://liftlabel.tumblr.com/post/34957369853http://liftlabel.tumblr.com/post/34957369853Sun, 04 Nov 2012 00:53:39 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mbumy0DYGS1rionj2o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://liftlabel.tumblr.com/post/34957340509http://liftlabel.tumblr.com/post/34957340509Sun, 04 Nov 2012 00:53:09 -0400<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/50323675" width="400" height="300" frameborder="0"></iframe><br/><br/><p class="first">LiFT Label // Stay Lifted Intro Video</p> <p class="first"><a href="http://www.liftlabel.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">liftlabel.com</a></p> <p>About: LiFT inspires adventure, positive living, and global consciousness through creative vision.
