Fashion: 7th Revolution Clothing AUTHENTIC. AMERICAN. VINTAGE Story: Siara Gray / Photography: Sean Hartgrove, Mike Gill, Mark Jacobs 7th Revolution Clothing is rock n’ roll, vintage inspired clothing that fuses Americana influences, music, and motor sports culture into a collection that is cool, comfortable, and decidedly stylish. Quality and timeless designs are far more important than trends for the Santa Monica based California brand. Their vision is more lasting to stay more relevant in their own realm of fashion. From tanks to tees, henleys to dresses, and other style offerings, 7th Revolution Clothing seamlessly brings fashion intelligence to alternative cultural lifestyle. The young apparel line’s co-founders - painter and designer, Mark Jacobs and documentary photographer, Wesley Billingslea, share a love of art, fashion, culture, music, and history. Between Jacob’s art and Billingslea’s photography, it is clear that their passions are reflected in the styles and designs of their garments. The name of the company is a merger of two reoccurring archetype phrases - the number “7,” a keystone number in mathematics and symbolic history, and the word, “revolution,” another theme through history, representing righteous insurrection. More than just a clothing brand, 7th Revolution aims to create its own vibrant culture and vibe, bringing together a community for revolutionaries. Amongst their effort in doing so, the edgy, vintage infused apparel company has embraced several musical talents into the cultural realm. Tye Mohawk, Lolove, and Oedipus are just a few of the musical acts that they promote. As a company that appreciates art and culture, 7th Revolution Clothing has embraced a tattoo culture and alternative society attitude. Everything about the brand resonates deeply in self-expression, from its core values to the designs of the clothing. Adding to their signature line, 7th Revolution has several other collections, each with its own identity and unique style. These collections include their two Latin influenced lines: Alma Latina (Latin Soul) an Espiritu Latina (Latin Spirit), as well as their LA Rebel collection, with fashions available for men and women. The distinctive clothing brand is revolutionizing style with a unique blend of comfort quality and fashion with multi-cultural appeal. What sets them apart as a fashion lifestyle brand is their subtlety in design that compliments the modified wearer. However, their statement is bold and clear: 7th Revolution is more than just apparel…it’s an assertiveness, a lifestyle, a stance.
