As 2011 draws to a close, let’s reflect on what a year it has been for cult clothing brand Dirty Smart.
Launched back in ’09, balls deep in recession, it’s been a meteoric rise for the clubbers clothing label. Rocking dancefloors, and appearing on the backs of some of the world's greatest DJ’s including deadmau5, Laidback Luke, & Dada Life to name but a few.
Established artists aside, 2011 saw Dirty Smart add new cutting edge talent to their roster. Dim Mak’s Blatta & Inesha (Italy), the rambunctious StereoHeroes (France), Judgement Sundays rising stars The Squatters (U.K), and 16 year old electro young-blood Caveat (U.S).
Oli Hopkinson a.k.a Mr Dirty Smart: “The clubbing industry’s dope. There are no high horses or ‘get-the-f*ck-away-from-me’ personalities. First contact with the Italian duo ‘Blatta & Inesha’ was an email simply reading, “YO. Let’s take over the world…”
That kind of correspondence doesn’t typically happen between myself and menswear buyers!”
This summer, D.S hosted its weekly event ‘Dirty Smart DJ Adventures’ for a second season in Ibiza. To coincide with this they released their 4th range, titled ‘Versus’, collaborating on designs with some of the UK’s hottest artists including Funkagenda, Will Bailey, & Black Noise.
Oli Hopkinson a.k.a Mr Dirty Smart: “2011 has been a great year. Highlights include spotting deadmau5 wearing Dirty Smart at T-In-Park, being involved in the production of Aquasky’s music video for ‘Superbad’ & meeting Laidback Luke at Cream, Liverpool.”
Dirty Smart has certainly raised the benchmark for streetwear across the UK. What will 2012 bring?.. If it’s anything like 2011 its going be a fun ride. Bring it on!
