Crooks & Castles

About:
The people at Crooks & Castles have always routed for the villain whether it be in a movie, a comic book, a novel, a rap song or everyday life. Growing up in Los Angeles during the 80's & 90's they became a part of this villainous lifestyle. Gangs were everywhere - the hood, the city, even middle suburbia. The concept was easy. "Crooks", criminals, pimps, hustlers, thieves, etc. and "Castles" - those who got rich by becoming a crook.

Philosophy:
From the robber barons of the early times like the vanderbilts, the rockefellers, the carnegies to the modern day billionaires - Bill Gates & Microsoft. Those who stopped at nothing to get their "Castle". They too hope one day to be the next rich crooks. In some of their designs you might see a familiar icon or logo that they took (stole) and gave it their own twist. C&C felt that some high fashion brands only catered to someone in a certain lifestyle or with a rather large bank account. Therefore they took what other made and crafted it to fit theirs. In all honesty... who cares.
