Behind every Castle lies a Crook !


So a lot of people don't know that crooks and castles was started by Dennis Calvero and Robert Panlilio in 2002. They started off like most clothing lines slow and trying to get there name out there. But the thing that really set their line apart from other clothing lines was they were looking for something different a design that hadn't yet been introduced into the fashion industry a design that represented the Los Anglos street lifestyle. However Dennis was strongly influenced by the new york and the new york fashion styles. Through long nights and determination in 2004 they relaunch there clothing line and they worked on what would be their first collection. There first official collection had the help from one of my other favorite clothing lines in4mation with them as a partner they created 5&aDime distribution. Crooks and Castles Really took off in 2007 when they went from national to international. After they went international 4 main celebrities started to rep their gear jay-z, nas, kanye west and rick ross. AND i bet you no one really knows what crooks & castles means.... it means behind ever great achievement behind every major clothing line someone did something crooked to achieve that goal. Dennis and Robert really also want crooks & castles to represent goals and dreams !
WE ARE ALL CROOKS IN SOMEWAY!
