The man behind the Ben Sherman brand was the late Arthur Benjamin Sugarman, who was born in Brighton, England in 1925. While applying citizenship in America, he changed his name to Ben Sherman. As he was already making shirts for other people, only in 1963 that he became ready to launch his own shirt label.

The first Ben Sherman shirt followed a classic American Ivy League top with his signature back hook, which is a button on the back of the collar. He used Oxford fabrics in pale shades of pink, yellow and blue plus candy stripes patterns. The shirts eventually became a huge success. Ben Sherman targeted various British youth markets in different eras such as the post war teddy boys, Italian style modernists or mods in the 60s, rock & roll hipsters from the 70s, retro ska culture from the 80s and the cool Britannia and Brit pop movements of the 90s.

Owned by Oxford Industries since 2004, the label has become a global lifestyle brand. Not only does the company produce shirts but also entered into different apparel lines such as suits, denim jeans, shoes and accessories. Their signature designs also include the Royal Air Force roundel or mod target and Carnaby fit styles. Ben Sherman currently sells in over 40 countries worldwide.

A black orchid is a mythical unicorn of the orchid flower world. There has been no orchid found to be truly black in color. Instead, the flower is a darker shade of blue which looks black to the naked eye. Black orchids are popular in stories involving witchcraft, fiction, spooky legends, myths and pop culture comic characters. They are believed to be mysterious and magical.

Just as the flower, Black Orchid denim also symbolizes rarity and beauty found in something simple yet affordable form. Founder, Julien Jarmoune, took his passion and talent to design clothes which uniquely flatter a woman’s figure. Many celebrities, including Jessica Alba, Fergie, Gwen Stefani, Demi Moore, Katherine Heigl, Dakota Fanning, AnnaLynne McCord, Hilary Duff, Nikki Reed, Paris Hilton, Marcia Cross and Emmy Rossum, have been spotted wearing these Black Orchid denim jeans out on the city streets.

The Spanish word “bebe” has two meanings. With an accent on the last “e”, it means baby. Without the accent, it means to drink.

But in our case, bebe is pronounced “bee-bee” and is an American clothing retailer and contemporary women’s apparel & accessories company founded by Manny Mashouf in 1976 in San Francisco, California. The “To be or not to be” opening line of a soliloquy from William Shakespeare’s play Hamlet, inspired the company name. Today, bebe has expanded with more than 300 stores worldwide. The company markets their products under bebe, BEBE SPORT, 2b bebe and bebe outlet brand names. BEBE SPORT caters to the active lifestyle while 2b bebe and bebe outlet provide clearance merchandise and more affordable pieces.

Marketing to today’s modern woman, bebe has signed up celebrities such as Brenda Song, Rebecca Romijn, Eva Longoria and Mischa Barton as their muses and faces of their various seasonal campaigns throughout the years. In essence, the bebe woman is not defined by how she looks – she is defined by her attitude: assertive, sexy and stylish.

In public criminal history, the Billionaire Boys Club was a nickname for an investment and social organization called BBC organized by Joseph Gamsky (Joe Hunt) in southern California back in 1983. The association ran as a Ponzi scheme and supported the lavish lifestyles for the young members of the club.

There were a few adaptations in popular culture. An NBC miniseries starring Judd Nelson aired in 1987. An episode of Law & Order based this story on a specific character. Books by Sue Horton and Randall Sullivan were also published in light of this.

Now, Billionaire Boys Club, along with another luxury line called Ice Cream, is known as a streetwear brand established by Pharell of the Neptunes, Manager Robert Walker and Japanese fashion icon Nigo of BAPE (A Bathing Ape). Mostly made in Japan, Billionaire Boys Club clothing are recognized for its bright colors, eccentric patterns and vintage feel. The “All Over Print” sweatshirts made a mark among urban fashionistas.
