Is This aNYthing Lookbook the Reason A-Ron Left Everything?
Although the beef had been broiling between trustafarian Kiernan Costello and aNYthing founder and mouthpiece A-Ron Bondaroff for months over sorted issues—like how aggressive the company should grow once it got such widespread exposure and sales hit the million dollar mark—sources close to the “Downtown Don’s” version of events claim it was this year’s new lookbook that ultimately made A-Ron walk and go so far as to start a whole new brand production company: “Off Bowery” (which btw is a horrible name, but as long as Simon is still designing, who cares right?). Although most streetwear blogs—except SlamxHype and Ctothejl—are avoiding everything aNYthing related like a limited edition case of the mumps, we’ve decided to post some excerpts from the look book and let the public decide their own level of exposure.
Update: A tipster writes in: “A-ron was waaaaay long gone before the thought of this look book even started….this look book is just another example of the brand without him, like the old Glob etc.” In other words, he had absolutely nothing to do with it. Thanks for setting us straight!

I am in shock right now. I am not sure if the “rambo” t is actually designed by the writer Rambo–if so propos for doing his thing. Thats the only good think i can say of this stuff though…This has to be a joke? I really hope these clothes are a joke. Its some of the wackest, way way way way behind clothes shit. IF i was a-ron, i would have been out like a fat kid in dodgeball too.

Rambo is legit. Anyone who rocks that Koolaid hat wears their boxers backwards. Good luck to A-Ron and his future endeavors.

I represented aNYthing strong and never thought I was gonna say this…THIS S*** is whack! I’m happy I got alot of the stuff from the now…”A-ron era! by the way…anybody that says he left because of this believes G W Bush invaded Iraq because of weapons of mass destruction.

kiernens a little bitch, you heard it here from someone who worked around him back when aron was still at anything. he never did shit for the company besides sit around waiting for the money to come back, never had any ideas how to make anything into a bigger brand, and thats pretty apparent now with all this (glob, line sheet, etc), its embarressing how bad it is and shows how out of touch he was with the whole idea of the company from the beginning. nyglob+aron 4 life
