Dickies is proud to be again sponsor of the 2011 Bottrop Kustom Kulture Show from the 17th to 18th of June.

Since 2003 every year the Airport "Schwarze Heide" in Bottrop turns into one of the biggest Kustom Kulture Shows in Europe. Car Clubs & Lone Wolfs from all over Europe come to show their Hot Rods, Kustom Cars and cool Motorbikes! They have around 250 pre 1965 hot rods and kustom cars and 100 oldschool bikes. And they don't only show them standing around! They will be racing their machines in 2011, too on the vintage 1/8 mile race on the airport.

Talking to Michael Kopelman and Andrew Bunney

Talking to Michael Kopelman and Andrew Bunney

Michael Kopelman and Andrew Bunney have embarked on a special design project for Dickies.
The london-based, premium streetwear label and clothing distribution agency gimme 5 have created a new capsule collection for the brand. It’s a creative design project not dissimilar to thom browne’s ongoing work with brooks brothers or Mark McNairy’s collection for Bass Weejun. Designed by Kopelman and Bunney and manufactured by Dickies, it will be sold through specialist streetwear stores such as Kopelman’s very own hideout store in London. When it comes to streetwear on a global scale Michael Kopelman and Andrew Bunney are two of the most influential arbiters and practitioners around; where they go, others tend to follow — eventually! Jason Jules catches up with Michael and Andrew to uncover the thinking behind this unique Dickies project.
