For Violette’s Winter 2009 Release you will find a line of tees inspired by HOOD KIDS that are in tune with GOTH STYLE. It’s a mix of opposite worlds, “the projects meets the ‘burbs”. It’s that kid from Brooklyn who listens to THE SMITHS, wears a black trench coat, but still rocks Jordans. That hood girl with a doobie, black lipstick and Doc Martens…

Simply titled “GHETTO GOTH”, this season is devoid of color and complication using only a black and white color palette.

Featuring a special collaboration with DEE & RICKY, VIOLETTE is releasing a limited edition LEGO CROSS in black or purple via the website VIOLETTENEWYORK.COM. Hand made in New York City, only 45 were created.
