Dee and Ricky

New York’s City has a great up and coming creative duo and their names are Dee and Ricky and i am glad to say that they are coming out my neck of the woods Staten Island.

19-year-old twins, Dee & Ricky Jackson, have been a part of the down town scene for quite some while now. About 5 years ago they began designing belts with XBox game controller buckles as part of a marketing plan for the gaming system. With that concept they are now creating versions of their belts using other brands’ controllers and mini Etch-A-Sketches.

“We met Marc Jacobs through his boyfriend Jason Preston at a party in the Hamptons… Jason was feeling the belts so we gave him a couple. He showed Marc and Marc called us up personally, going crazy like ‘I want these belts for my show for fashion week!’”

Dee & Ricky’s Lego version belt and buckles appeared in the Marc by Marc Spring 2008 show in several forms including brooches, barrettes, and bolos. A certain Mr. West took a liking to what he saw, now the twins are ironing out details for an exclusive deal for the rappers high end brand. With the creation of the solid gold lego belt buckle the duo has a lot more in store.

You can find items at Kid Robot and Colette (Paris).

Thanks for this post!
