Volcom

Thursday, May 31st, 2007

Volcom is the original ‘Youth against Establishment’ brand, at a time when skate was frowned upon, but the founding partners refused to surrender to conformity and the brand was born.

Nirvana and Pearl Jam were becoming popular and Volcom fully embraced all that youth culture stood for at that time.

Tucker Hall and Richard Woolcott the founding partners toured the world and slowly the brand started to grow.

Volcom’s lack of respect to almost everything makes it a very independent brand. It expresses its creativity through music, art, and film as well as skaters, surfers and snowboarders.

The reason Volcom is still highly regarded is because of its originality and its utter refusal to do what all the other big brands are doing.

June is Male Cancer Awareness Month

Wednesday, May 30th, 2007

This June sees the 10th Annual Everyman Male Cancer Awareness Month, the purpose of which is to help raise awareness of, and fund research into, prostate and testicular cancer.

Prostate cancer has overtaken lung cancer as the most common cancer in men, and the incidence of testicular cancer has increased dramatically - almost 4-fold in the last 50 years. And it’s not only men who need to take notice - women play a crucial role in encouraging loved ones to visit doctors and making sure the message is heard loud and clear.

A host of stars are giving their support including Sir Terry Wogan, Dermot O’Leary, Frank Skinner, Jason Donovan and Linford Christie.

Up and coming fashion and jewellery designer Husam El Odeh has designed a limited edition pin badge which is being sold in Topman stores and at Topman online. The pin takes the shape of a smiley face centred inside the male symbol ♂. The badges are priced at £2 with all proceeds going directly to the Everyman Campaign.
