C&C is a brand that has been out since 1997, but recently has been putting out some hot clothing from L.A. that is straight dope from their concept to clothing.Crooks & Castles.

If you've ever seen the striped print on some of their clothes (nope, that ain't you're auntie's Prada, that's some hood Prada only Street dope. That's why affectionately call them Street Prada, but that's just me.

Quick from their own website:
http://www.crooksncastles.com/about.php

"Crooks", criminals, pimps, hustlers, thieves, etc. And "Castles" those who got rich by becoming a crook......Those who stopped at nothing to get their "Castle". We too hope one day to be the next rich crook. In some of our designs you might see a familiar icon or logo that we took (stole) and gave it our own twist.....We felt that some high fashion brands only catered to someone in a certain lifestyle or with a rather large bank account. Therefore we took what they made and crafted it to fit ours. In all honesty... who cares. We just really wanted to make some... Hot Shit!








Street Strength -- The concept is all in the name, a real dope twist to "Prada" trademark (hope no lawsuits penting!) and fresh style BADASS but not ALL about skulls, cross bones, bloody crosses and, Not hating, I'm just saying....
Block is Hot-- a lawsuit really could be pending if PRADA's lawyers are on their game, Stay up C&C and hope "all the money [they] stacked [won't need to be] all the money for bail" -B.I.G.
RE-ing Up Ability -- streets is really watching--artists and athletes is pushing it,..Jay-Z flossing the CASTELLANO (C&C Co-designed) SHADE's on an INTERNATIONAL STAGE (GLASGLOW 08)..expect an HBO Entourage placement soon, if not already!
the darkers (shades) they co-designed with
Dis Threats They can easily fall into the trap of just being another trendy look of the Skulls/CrossBones Punk rocker trend [that's finally dying down!] if they don't work that Crook/Castle concept into more of their marketing.
