ENTREE LS X VILLIANOIRE featuring Tony Boyle and George Dallas

I went to a sample sale in Brooklyn a few weeks ago that led me to what looked like a big warehouse. A quick ride up the elevator and I entered the wonderful world of Entree LS. The Entree LS headquarters is the home to eclectic and urban pieces worn by the likes of Wale and Rihanna, but the team had to work for their success. Entrée LS started out as a small two man team selling tees out of the back of a truck. They faced quite a bit of rejection as they worked to develop their products, however they now sell their styles in over 150 boutiques. Entree LS has built itself around the belief that perseverance and persistence will prevail, and what started as a group of misunderstood guys has grown into a thriving destination for all things urban.

Take a peak at some of their designs featured below, and shot by Villainoire another young artist on the path to succeed despite all odds. Villainoire has an amazing eye for concept, contrast, and light. He may be new to the game, but his pictures are editorial and his calendar is getting booked fast. In the photos below, he shot Tony Boyle, and George Dallas, two young aspiring models. Tony is wearing a few Entrée LS pieces, and George is wearing Von Parris, another up and coming designer whose designs have been worn by Trey Songz, Fabolous, and more. Von Parris will be featured in future posts.

Consider the photos below to be the early stage of something great to come. This is the next generation of "misunderstood" guys, who are on their way to becoming young stars. Stay tuned....xo Little Sherlock
