MOST Hiii

We recently caught up with rich, Nath & josh the designers of new fashion label 'MOST Hiii' a clothing line inspired by hip hop & skate culture.
I remember when MOST Hiii was just an idea, words on a piece of paper and now it's all, finally, coming together. 
MOST Hiii 'most elevated one' was born from the talents of Rich, Nathan and Josh.
Together as a team they are dedicated to bringing new and creative ideas to the clothing scene. Their passion infuses their purpose, and their entrepreneurial spirit is the driving force behind every MOST Hiii design whilst embracing the diversity of the new generation.

In my opinion every garment embraces the individuality of the designers with ideas from all three intricately intertwined to produce stylish pieces that show great creativity.
A good mix of talent and passion like that is a rarity these days so show your support...

Welcome to SNAPS bloggin'

Welcome to SNAPS skate blog. SNAPS is a strongly established community group based in the heart of Swindon, campaigning for a new, modern user designed skate park to built in the area. A 'concrete paradise' where Swindon's urban culture can thrive and be proud of.

SNAPS bloggin' is a skate lifestyle and culture blog. Posting the latest news, fashion, music in the skateboarding society culture.

There have been so many occasions where I have heard people say things like "the youth of today wouldn't misbehave or hang around in big groups outside shops if they had somewhere to go". This is a statement that I myself, and I'm sure many others agree with, in the sense that if there were exciting places to hang out, exhilarating things to do, then maybe our youth would be a whole lot happier. I mean, we all tend to do random things when we are faced with utter boredom. So lets change that. Let's give young people more things to do. Lets create places where they actually would enjoy being. Let's create activities that they would actually like to take part in.
Which links me nicely to this..




Imagine..
An exciting place where young people can go to express their culture, be themselves, socialise, and develop/learn skating skills.
Obviously this isn't going to solve every problem facing the youth, but it's definitely a great start! It's ideas like this that keep our communities thriving. When a group of people decide to make a change, and bring a positive new project to their home town. This is definitely one of those life changing projects, that will see a lot of youths much happier. This project has even been backed by superstar DJ Fatboy Slim when he performed at the Oasis Swindon.

Due to the current economic climate SNAPS cannot rely on donations from local sources such as Swindon Borough Council, so are aiming to raise funds themselves as well as applying for lottery grants and corporate sponsorship.
