Tonight, June 26, if you go down to the Paragon you’re sure of a big surprise. After 10 years in the skate/surf/snow apparel scene, local clothing designers East Coast Lips, run by Nigel Lutes and Craig Hamilton, are having a party to mark the decade, with an all-star hip hop show including Phakt, R$ $mooth, Gordski, Dave Stiles, and Jay Bizzy. And of particular interest to Shoptalk, EC Lips will be opening a retail location on Saturday July 3 at 2411 Agricola Street, which will feature both their clothing as well as merch by the artists they collaborate with. Swing on by there on the weekend for all your shirt, hat and hoodie needs.
