Verena Stefanie photographed Lawson in London a few weeks back and I was so stoked to see a few Black Scale pieces used in the shoot. Thanks to both Verena and Lawson for killing it and thinking of us at Black Scale for this photo shoot. For a quick insight on the photo shoot here are words from Verena Staphanie: “The first time I met Lawson was while he was having a work experience at the renowned streetwear brand Y’OH in London. I always look for some interesting and peculiar subjects for my pictures and Lawson, or Lowlifer, is definitely one of them. Not only because his body is covered by tattoos, which is a ritual and a philosophy that I love and admire, but more so because this guy actually has something to say, not just via his mouth but also through his eyes. His way of living life and his attitude comes across naturally through the lens and … Read more →

My brother Jay (Jilted Royalty) visited Los Angeles from Birmingham England last week and he invited me (Mega) to shoot a lifestyle project that documented both brands in the streets of LA. We hooked up with Matt Plunkett in his creative downtown Los Angeles loft in the mix of little Mexico and dope fiend central. Jay supported Black Scale from the gate and we at Black Scale will forever support Jilted Royalty because it’s not everyday you meet loyal ill hearted dudes that you know have your back in this game. It’s very cutthroat and filled with people that will cock block your ass in a heartbeat so they can get one up on you but that is the business and that’s what makes the business a challenging game. Back to the shoot before I go off track and ramble about things you might not care about. So Jay hit up Matt to shoot and me knowing Matt made perfect … Read more →

This tee has a signature Benjamin Franklin that Frank 151 runs with but we added our little touch to it and drew a red line through Benjamin Franklin’s eyes. The meaning behind the red line is people get blinded after they start seeing a large amount of success, fame and money and forget where they come from and who they were before the success, fame and fortune came along. The Frank 151 magazine shares many different stories from different parts of the world and through struggle you see how beautiful that is from the stories told in these pocket size … Read more →
