There’s too many trends these days (all days,really) to keep up with. It’s funny how one day your friend is goth and the next day their going for the futuristic prostitute look. I guess we all need change (what happened to starter jackets?) So, in the first installment of TRND FORCASTING, we share some hot items and looks that we’re feelin’ here at the AUF studio. The above is a snake belt. classic. Click the Jump to see the rest! Read more »
On the subject of girls that kick ass, our friends A Cupcake Wonderland were recently asked by Food Network to submit a video about themselves and their cupcakes for next seasons Cupcake Wars. In the recent year or so I’m sure you’ve all seen cupcakes poppin’ up everywhere, from boutique stores to trucks. Well don’t believe the hype, because the girls who have been doing it right since before the cupcake craze are the only ones to pay attention to. And hopefully, if Food Network has any taste, they’ll be getting the recognition they deserve. Check out their website for their insanely creative cupcakes, and next time your throwing a party, order some cupcakes, your friends will love you for it.
For the last two weeks, our team of scientists and explorers have been on a road trip, starting in Philadelphia and tramping through New Hampshire, coastal Maine, New Brunswick, Montreal, and Adirondacks NY. These are trained professionals I speak of, weathered roads-men, stunt men, seekers and destroyers (of the lame.) A United Front, or AUF as you all know it, is dedicated to bringing quality goods to our loyal brethren. So we needed to explore first hand, what other climates in the market are in other areas besides Philadelphia. We’re gearing up for fall, and we figured heading to the northern territories was a good jump start on cooler daze ahead. Unfortuneately our research was inconclusive. You’ll have to wait for the fall offerings from our brands Radlands and The Fates. Till then, hit the jump for our results. Read more »
On the subject freedom, freedom rides, and epic-ness, max schaaf is probably the real-est dude out there. Just revisited his epicly later’d episodes today, I suggest you guys check out the rest of the episodes if you haven’t seen them, and learn a little about this fellow and his skating and custom machines. The beginning of what will be an amazing 4th of July weekend. Gear up and head down to FDR park on the 4th for the legendary session/party that is and always will be, the way to real freedom.

“This is a summer of limitless possibilities. May we hold strong together in the face of the hardships that will come and go through our lives. And when we are fortunate enough to find ourselves in the company of our bredren, may we smile and be thankful together because in this we will find our infinite summer. ”
Thanks everyone for coming!!! if you missed it I apologize it was short notice but don’t worry there will be more… Much More!
Made in America, an art exhibit opening today in Old City at the Trust Gallery (formerly Fuel) at 3rd & Arch, is a group show based on the theme of America. A topic as broad as that, one can imagine the wealth of inspirations, stories and messages that can be told here. With such a diverse group of artists, there’s bound to be something for everyone, including live music by bands like Univox, Dragonzord & Tigersapien among others. The majority of the artists involved are from philadelphia and some others are neighbors of this great city. The show was curated & put on by Phrequency & McJawn and AUF designed all the logos, posters & zine that will be available at the show, so come by and check it out, support your troops (us).
“America, fuck yea!”
Yep, as if we haven’t been busy enough designing tee’s , keeping up our online shop and recently partnering with FMW for our 2 week long pop up shop event, we still find time (or loose sleep) to properly display our in-house brands. RADLANDSCLOTHING.com has just officially launched into the world wide web. We spent a little time shredding and shot a look-book which is the spring/summer 2010 collection part of the site. A few new tees (included pictured) arrived after the look book was shot, but we got our shred in today & tried out the new Radlands “Drifter” baseball tee. More launch ramps after the jump!

The response from Saturdays AUF Pop Up Shop has been overwhelmingly amazing. It is great to see our hard work and planning come to fruition. On top of that is has proven Philly isn’t completely filled with haters and that when we support each other all things are possible.
