Ich habe heute gelernt<\/a>, dass es in den sp\u00e4ten 80ern in New York ein Gang gab, die nur in „Polo“ Klamotten von Ralph Lauren durch die Stra\u00dfen ziehen wollte: die Lo Lifes. <\/p>\n

Die Lo-Lifes, so wurden die Mitglieder der Crew genannt, lebten im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes f\u00fcr Ralph Lauren Polo\u2014in ein paar F\u00e4llen sind Leute f\u00fcr ihre Leidenschaft auch gestorben. Heute sind sie ein Mythos. Sie geh\u00f6ren zu einem New York, das l\u00e4ngst nicht mehr existiert. Entstanden ist diese Kultur in den sp\u00e4ten 80ern: Die Lo-Lifes sind in Scharen mit der U-Bahn nach Manhattan gefahren und in die Kaufh\u00e4user ausgeschw\u00e4rmt, um sich jedes Teil von Polo zu schnappen, was sie in die Finger kriegen konnten. \u00dcber die Brooklyn Bridge ging es dann zur\u00fcck. Manchmal haben sie ihre Beute mit dem ber\u00fchmten Pferdelogo noch direkt in der Bahn verkauft. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Die Fotografen Tom Gould und Thirstin Howl the 3rd haben ein Buch<\/a> \u00fcber die Lo Lifes gemacht und in diesem Zuge diese kurze Doku \u00fcber sie produziert. <\/p>\n

During the late-\u201980s, two groups of teenagers from neighboring areas of Brooklyn came together to form a boosting (shoplifting) crew with a common goal\u2014 accumulate as much Polo Ralph Lauren as possible, by any means possible.<\/p>\n

Known as the Lo Lifes, they dressed themselves in the finest garments stolen from every upper-class department store in the tri-state area, while living a reality that was the complete opposite of what Ralph Lauren represented.<\/p>\n

To the authorities the Lo Lifes were criminals, but to themselves and people on the streets, their actions signified something else. They aspired to be something greater, and empowered themselves by taking something that wasn\u2019t meant for them and making it their own.<\/p>\n

For the past five years Lo Life founder Thirstin Howl the 3rd and photographer\/filmmaker Tom Gould have been documenting this culture. Interviews, archival pictures, and recent portraits of key players make up the first-ever book recounting how a group of kids in Brooklyn went on to influence mainstream rap stars and birth a sub-culture of boosters and collectors of vintage Ralph Lauren worldwide.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
