Artist: ALIENS WORLD WIDE
LoveHo says:
When it comes to extraterrestrial beings, Aliens World Wide is the first thing that springs to mind. The founder and designer Arian has as much knowledge of the physical/digital art world as he does of the astro space. It is no surprise that he would create a brand called Aliens World Wide. Through art and music, Arian’s creations provide a vast and extensive outlook on what the universe entails, earth and friendly aliens alike.
Biography:
Aliens World Wide, Aliens, in the third person, like the ones coming to Earth are interested in “us” for our culture. Earth Gang, is unique. We make dope ass music and make dope ass art and put it on walls and our women are beautiful and we have cool shit to offer. We really have this view of ourselves like, why would aliens want to visit us? Like we are some useless, uninteresting thing. We are like mythical creatures, humans do some wild shit; we have the ability to create and destroy instantaneously. Something that not everything can do, or wants to do.
Aliens World Wide, recognizes that we are sapiens here full of life, that we are too a part of the unique circle within the cosmic civilizations out there, and we too are on Earth walking amongst everyone.
Aliens World Wide by Arian Rock.
Message from ALIENS WORLD WIDE:
“That there be a permanent ban of the weaponization of space, for the targeting of any objects of extra terrestrial origin. That there be a full and complete study of classified technologies connected to this subject. To see how they can be properly declassified and applied for peaceful energy generation. So that the world can get off of fossil fuels in enough time to prevent greater ecosystem damage, or another looming energy crisis that is sure to sweep the earth in the coming decade.
This is a matter of the most pressing importance. It has been ridiculed, yes. We can establish that this subject is real and has significance for the human future.
I ask all of you who are listening to support a ban on weaponizing space, since we are sharing space with other life forms. And, that we move quickly as a people to understand that this is the end of the childhood of the human race, it is time for us to become mature adults, within the cosmic civilizations out there…”

Brand: RECESSION STUDIOS
LoveHo says:
When Recession Studios did a popup at Tokyo Love Hotels, the first thing we noticed was the welcoming, open, and mind stature of the founder himself. As we saw the garments go on the rack, we noticed the immense quality and design put into each piece. We wanted to buy the whole collection! The designs are innovative, comfortable, and simply put cool. We believe Recession Studios deserves recognition and have no doubt that they’ll reach far.
