CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT.







T-shirt c/o VOW, Kaarme "Gemini" studded cutoffs, vintage David Ackerman boots, Skingraft talon bag, pink druzy ring c/o Hard Candy Gems, "split" stone ring c/o Union Studio, earrings c/o Vanessa Mooney, bracelet via eBay, all other rings vintage sterling.





VOW makes the best destroyed tees. I received this super soft one awhile back, which is part of their second collection. If destroyed is not your jam, VOW also offers non-destroyed versions of all of their designs.

I'm on a roll, yeah? More soon. xo

TV PARTY.







Satanic TV tee c/o Killer Condo, Rick Owens boots, DIY faux leather shorts, Käärme "Hellhammer" studded bag, denim vest c/o Dimepiece, Charles Anastase x Karen Walker shades, Chris Habana cage ring, Gareth Pugh scythe ring, hoop earrings c/o Union Studio Metala.





Much thanks to Killer Condo for sending me a bunch of awesome tees -- you can expect KC designs to be making frequent appearances on this blog. I love their twisted takes on 90s pop culture imagery, the quality of the prints on buttery soft combed cotton, and best of all: their vverrry reasonable prices. Don't say I didn't warn you before visiting their webshop, because you'll probably fall in love with everything.




One of the lovely ladies over at Dimepiece sent me a goodie parcel, and this patched-up, destroyed denim vest was one of many incredible pieces in that package (I added the Kaarme "Discharge logo" patch). I thought it suited the KC tee quite nicely. Much, much thanks again to my girl Ashley!



We over at Käärme have been working hard to bring you our third collection, plus a collaborative effort with M.A.V and capsule collections with a couple of designers whose names I will keep secret for now. However, we are now taking pre-orders for 15 Hellhammer bags we've decided to produce before the Hellhammer is gone for good and replaced with another bag. You can place your Hellhammer pre-orders at our webshop (limit 2 per customer).

More in the *~remote future~* &hearts

SNAKE IN THE GRASS.






Käärme Acid Bath vest & FDNG/D-Beat tee, Actual Pain leggings, Rick Owens boots, Supreme tote bag, vintage Chanel headscarf, I.D. nameplate necklace c/o Drawn & Quartered, grenade pendant (?), cabochon lightening bolt ring c/o L.S.D. skull ring c/o Alberto Juan, all other rings vintage or custom sterling.





The purple version of the Acid Bath vest has been sold out for a while now, but we still have a couple in the "gold" colorway I am wearing here. They'll be up on the Käärme webstore this weekend, but if you would like to order yours before they disappear, shoot us an email.





I was so excited when I saw these snakeskin print nylon totes hit the Supreme webshop, so I had to grab one in this killer green color before they vanished. If they're not sold out already I totally recommend this bag. If you don't care for green, it's also available in blue or gray, and comes with a neat little clip-on change bag thing. It is unlined nylon but surprisingly sturdy nonetheless -- it performed well as both my purse AND diaper bag yesterday when we took a trip to Maryland to visit my in-laws.



We at Käärme are super excited to announce our upcoming collaboration with L.A.-based M.A.V. M.A.V.'s demented 80s Nardcore vibe (think: RKL, JFA, Ill Repute) will be colliding in a violently awesome way with Käärme Concepts to bring you a special breed of totally offensive, corrupt streetwear in the very near future. Keep checking back here for updates on M.A.V. x Käärme. Check out Weezy in his own M.A.V. tee:



I spot an Aus-Rotten patch on that vest, which fucking rules!

I've taken a slew of outfit photos in the past few days, so I am going to go out on a limb and promise more frequent posting ... one thing I can promise for sure is a sweet giveaway coming up this weekend. Stay tuned! xo

DRUGS OF YOUTH.





















Finally, Käärme's second collection, FAST DRUMS NUMB GUMS, has arrived. I couldn't be more stoked. I'm so tired that I almost typed "stokeder," What you see in the lookbook that isn't available in the shop yet will be up there later on today.

So much work went into this collection. We toiled. We tweaked. We re-tweaked. We molded. We hammered. We shaped, stamped and tramped, I feel like I just ran a marathon, minus the physical triumph. In essence, it was totally worth it -- thanks to the horde of carnies and Big Book-thumping psychotic throwbacks (aka our retail customers), our wholesale customers, and a few other very special elite juggalos (u KnOw wHo U aRe), we're getting ready to enter the production stage of the spring/summer collection. It's been surreal to experience this little label grow from just a handful of t-shirts to a cornucopia of incredibly crafted RTW and a horde of carnie nutcases who faithfully don our freakwear. We're super thankful for the overwhelming amount of positive response & support; expect much, much more in the very remote future. In the meantime, enjoy our blood, sweat, and tears by wearing it while you bleed, sweat, and cry.

I recently received some mind-blowing jewelry from Australian unisex jewelry label Drawn & Quartered. When I say "mind-blowing," I mean crazy fucking incredible. Like, you wear the shit and it takes your breath away in such a fashion that you nearly suffocate and drop dead. So, I'll be styling that gorgeous stuff on here in my next post. This nonsensical psychospeak is actually relevant: I'm enthralled to announce that Drawn & Quartered and Käärme are collaborating on some criminally badass jewelry. And I'm sorry to say that it is going to be mandatory once ya'll get wind of it. You've been warned.

More soon! &hearts
