HBO ‘Girls’ Lena Dunham Pays Tribute to Skateboard Legend w/ New Tattoo | + has a Lakai shoe collab?

My beloved @joanaavillez illustrated this sneaker that speaks directly to the soul of all slightly off-beat women. They're fun from far away and super complex up close and you can give a pair a home in your closet by shopping the link in my bio.

Uh oh. I know what you’re thinking, but HBO’s Girls creator and star Lena Dunham didn’t brand herself with the chosen one, she did it with an illustration from friend-of-skateboarders Langley Fox of female skate great Laura Thornhill Caswell.

Check it below and say what you will about skateboarding taking over the mainstream, it’s pretty alright from our angle.

 

Very satisfying evening getting my (decade old!) tats touched up by my good friend @rbrtbnhm at Brooklyn Tattoo. He added this new one, a @langleyfox illustration of living legend @laurathornhillcaswell. Cuz sometimes I really need a reminder that we came here to rip shit up… Plz note she's riding one of my Endo scars 😍🙏💸

Did you know Lena Dunham’s skateboarding roots went deep enough to have a shoe with Lakai? Nor did we.

 

Suss out all the goss over on this Hwoody site.

 

Have you had the chance to check out @joanaavillez & my collaboration for @lakailtd? We have now gone from soul sisters to sole sisters (sorry, so sorry.) Available @zumiez online and in stores, portion of proceeds benefitting @youngwomenempowered 👄🎯💯 To answer your Qs, I won't see a 💸 off these- it's all about the youth! And looking fly/feeling flyer.
