Married to the MOB's "Lost Summer" SS09

It should come as no surprise that Leah McSweeny has based the MTTM 2009 Summer collection on that Summer when a good girl goes bad; where previous collections had all-over four leaf clovers and kisses, the Summer collection has cannabis. Looks as though Married to the MOB is holding down the spot as purveyor of up-front fashion with an “IDGAF” attitude.

The MTTM Summer 09 collection  (or any of the collections for that matter) is not for the faint of heart. If you’re a woman with guts and an affinity for bright colors, sweet mary jane, and phrases like “F*** the rest” you’ll have no problem rockin’ this collection. With a shirt that reads “Well-behaved bitches rarely make history,” which is an adaptation of the famed quote by Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, the clothes pretty much speak for themselves. Because let’s be honest, a M.O.B. can’t waste her time having to verbally express what she’s about when her clothes can briefly and bluntly do it for her.

Married to the MOB's "Lost Summer" SS09

If you’ve been following MTTM you probably noticed the venture into more cut and sew pieces. While the screen print tee will forever be the signature MTTM piece, it’s fun to see that they’re adding shorts, skirts and rompers to the mix. Of course, a Summer MTTM collection would not be complete without a bikini. For Summer ‘09 the “Dutchie” bikini comes in a black and white or purple and white floral/cannabis print that’s reversible to a solid color. To check out the rest of the collection head over to http://mttmnyc.com/ and click on “hotness” or “shop” to start filling those carts!

If Married to the Mob’s first spring ‘09 collection wasn’t enough to satiate your palate, luckily the brand has more coming your way. You already saw Kid Sister rocking her MTTM gear, now get yourself ready for the second wave. This spring MOB is venturing into new territory, in addition to some twists on old favorites.

We all know that MTTM is famous for creating edgy, in-your-face tees and curve-hugging denim, but this spring MTTM is changing it up a bit with the first MOB dress! That’s right, for all you ladies who’ve saturated your closet with Leah McSweeney’s famous tees, now you’ll have the chance to glam yourself up a bit more with a Most Official Dress - the “Flight Dress.”  The universally flattering silhouette features a bubble hem and cinched waist, perfect for accentuating that hourglass figure while at the same time sporting a stitched “MOB” detail.

For a look that’s a little bit less dressy (but still just as chic) is the “Say It Loud” T-shirt dress - ideal for pairing with your MOB graffiti leggings! (Or any leggings for that matter.)  With a bit more coverage than your usual tee, you’re sure to catch the eyes of passersby with this garment that reads, “MOB rules the world & everything in it since ‘82!”

Also new for the warmer weather is the distressed wash on MTTM’s 24th Street jean.  Once again, flattering and curve-hugging . . . And easily worn with a favorite pair of sneakers or your newest, hottest stilettos.  But you didn’t think that MTTM would release a collection without including any of its infamous tees, would you? The brand stays true to its roots this spring with a fresh batch of colorful tops (lilac, anyone?), as well as a less demure, “Sex Sells” tee.

Once again, Leah and the ladies of MTTM know exactly what us ladies want and need in our wardrobe! The array of pieces is sure to please, and with the addition of MOB dresses it’s obvious that Leah McSweeney’s got a lot more up her sleeve that we can’t wait to see.

You can purchase all of the pieces in the collection online here. Read the full story to see more images!

Married to the Mob has released it’s much anticipated Fall ‘08 collection.  The line has grown tremendously from t-shirts to include jackets, denim, tops, sweatshirts, hoodies, leggings and hats.  The collection is really solid and consists of really strong pieces - all conveying the MOB message.  The photos, shot by Lynnette Astaire, are gorgeous and feature the O.G. MOB cover girl Sarah “Sweet 16″ McSweeney.  The line looks great and many congrats to Leah on a beautiful collection.  My only pet peeve?? I really, really wish the jeans had the signature kisses on the back pockets so they could be “Kiss My Ass” jeans.  Maybe next time.  For now, you can get the whole collection on line on the MTTM site.

Married to the M.O.B. teamed up with Colette to produce a co-branded Reebok Freestyle High. The shoe features a white leather upper with the MTTM Lips Logo printed all-over, a translucent pink outsole with the MTTM Lips Logo visible through the outsole, and a keychain.

Only 300 pairs of the shoe were produced, and more than two-thirds of the pairs have already been sold by Married to the M.O.B. and Colette. ALIFE is proud to be the only retailer in North America to be able to offer these shoes.

The remaining pairs of the Married to the M.O.B. x Colette x Reebok Freestyle High will be available in very limited quantities this weekend at ALIFE NYC, ALIFE LA and ALIFE Vancouver.

Married to the Mob just released a logo keychain so now you’re keys can by stylee too!  You can cop the keychain for $10 on the MTTM site.

Married To The Mob just released their summer collection which includes t-shirts, a beach towel and flip flops. The collection is cute and has the standard plays on the logo and phrases. I like the logo tee with the Lolita sunglasses and there’s a nice selection of beaters - the perfect top for long, hot summer days. All the tees shown are available in a variety of colors. The towel and flip flops are also a great addition to the line - haven’t seen many “streetwear” towels and flip flops and these are a great set if you like the catch-phrase “Men Are The New Women.” Though I find the concept cool, I find that phrase hugely insulting to women, but that’s just me. You can purchase online now or at your local streetwear boutique soon. Keep a look out!
