유니크한 뉴욕감성의 아이웨어 브랜드 “아일랜드서프(ISLANDSURF)”
'아일랜드 서프'는 롱비치의 여유로운 서퍼들의 모습과 눈부신 뉴욕의 태양을 담아낸 감각적이고 유니크한 디자인에서 시작되었다.
또한 뉴욕 거리의 화려함과 여유로움은 물론, 도시의 고독함과 공허함까지 함께 담아내어 뉴요커들의 감각적이면서도 세련된 감성이 느껴진다. 아일랜드 서프만의 변하지 않은 아이덴티티는 스트릿함과 자유분방을 추구하면서도 절제미, 우아한 세련됨을 잃지 않는 것이다.
New York story
To some, New York is the city of dreams, where they would like to travel some day, but to others, it can be the city of isolation. The streets of Sogo, 5th street and Times Square are always full of people, you can meet exceptional art pieces at the Lumas Gallery or the MOMA, or you can dine at the Sara Beth’s restaurant like the main character of a movie. New York prides itself with Long Beach, which is famous between young surfers for its high waves, where you can taste the special sunlight and smell the Atlantic.
