When folks from overseas come by our flagship, it’s one of the more memorable customer experiences for obvious reasons. One such visitor was Melchior Abeille, a graphic designer & photographer from Paris France. Melchior was in Los Angeles as a photojournalist of sorts for South African New Wave Rapper Spoek Mathambo, who’s on a US tour for his new album Mshini Wam.

Meanwhile, Melchior has co-founded a web magazine called Street Tease that also organizes dope parties that I wish I could’ve gone to. In addition to regularly updated content in all things streetwear and street art related, they put out some solid mixtapes.

Funny enough, we’ve now discovered the lucky guy who got to eat our Cyco Simon Marzipan pal during the NY Caked Up! show last week. Melchior is truly representing Мишка, coast-to-coast and worldwide for that matter. And that’s not all. Melchior does art direction for a really cool skateboarding brand out of France called Gamble.

The Gamble skate team was recently throwing it down in Berlin and believe you me, these dudes got style. They are about to release some product including tees, beanies & snapbacks so be on the lookout, especially if you’re in Paris.
