Fashion & Furious: Racing Hit Blazes To Summer Release As Racing-Inspired Clothing Line Heats Up NY

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. - March 27, 2013 - PRLog -- Exotic locations, a star-studded cast, and a car taking down a jet plane are some of the sights fans can expect in the newest installment in the popular Fast and Furious series coming out May 24th.  “Fast and Furious 6” is anticipated to be the movie of the summer, and may even do better than “Fast Five” which pulled in $625 million worldwide.  New York’s Michael Porter, designer for notables like Ludacris and Juelz Santana, has brought together six trends for fans of the Fast and Furious movies and anyone else who enjoys cars, racing, sports, and quality urban wear.  

Here are six trends from CTC Designs that combine street fashion, hip-hop, drifting and racing culture to offer up the most unique urban apparel:

1. Customizable Leather Sports Jerseys: These jerseys are one of the trademark CTC Designs items. Made of thin lambskin leather and artfully embroidered, these jerseys can be customized for you to represent your city or your favorite sports team in the football jersey style.  The durable leather also makes a nice transition into fall and winter when paired with a hoodie. They are available in all sizes and come in most colors.

2. Customizable Leather Sports Jerseys with Swarovski crystals (pictured):  Michael took the classic baseball/football jersey design and added some bling with hand-laid Swarovski crystal embellishments. The same high quality lambskin leather is used to make these custom jerseys. For the man who wants to wear a jersey with a little more flair, this jersey is available in most colors and all sizes. It takes a certain swagger to pull this one off!

3. Hip-Hop Forever T-Shirt: CTC Design's 'I am hip-hop forever' graffiti-style t-shirt is cool and classic. Crisp white 100% preshrunk cotton with a tight knit surface keeps the tee soft and slick. The black screen print gives an added edge. Express your love for hip-hop with this basic wardrobe must-have. This t-shirt is available in L, XL and XXL.

4. Men’s Long Sleeve Shirt: Another staple addition to your wardrobe, this long sleeved tee shirt shows more of the racing and drifting side of CTC Designs. It is made of 100% preshrunk black cotton and is screen printed with logos of well known aftermarket companies. An easy, classic look for racing or drifting events, this long sleeve shirt is available in L, XL, and XXL.

5. Men’s Jackets: Along with the leather sports jerseys, custom jackets are another specialty of CTC Designs. They are made for street bike riders and racers or anyone trying to look the part. The company offers several varieties of jacket made of either  premium quality cowhide leather, durable nylon or PVC coated nylon-polyester to make them really street legal! Logos and designs on the jackets are fully embroidered on, not screen printed. Available in sizes L to 6X and with various color options.

6. Custom Embroidered Jackets and Jerseys: Quality embroidery is another staple at CTC Designs. These fully customizable jackets and jerseys are baseball style. Whether you have a design already created that you want to embroider on your item, or if you are looking for some inspiration from the team at CTC Designs, it will fit your style completely. New York rapper Juelz Santana had custom jackets created by CTC Designs. Available in all colors and sizes.
