Spotlight Brands

UrbanMinx.com carries so many hot brands, it's hard to keep them all straight! We thought we'd pick a few each month to highlight and this month we'll start with three brands that are really hot right now: Lonsdale, Michael Stars, and G-Star.

Like many brands carried at UrbanMinx.com, Lonsdale is a clothing company founded in London, England in 1960. They first began producing boxing equipment before branching out into sports and fashion clothing.

Lonsdale receives its name from the eponymous Hugh Cecil Lowther, fifth Earl of Lonsdale. Lord Lonsdale organized boxing matches in 1909 and was president of the National Sporting Club of Britain. Every boxer who became a champion and defended his title successfully three times received the Lonsdale belt. Bernard Hart, an ex-boxer, visited the Lord in the 1960s and asked for permission to use his name for a clothing brand targeted towards boxers. Lonsdale articles have been worn by many famous boxers, including Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson, Henry Cooper and Lennox Lewis. UrbanMinx.com carries a wide selection of Lonsdale t-shirts to Lonsdale hats and Lonsdale dress shirts.

One brand that you will see explode onto the minx scene is Michael Stars. For those of you who absolutely love the "fitted tee", you're sure to find everything you're looking for with Michael Stars tees, long sleeved tees, and tanks. One thing that makes Michael Stars t-shirts stand out are the luxurious fabrics that turn a regular tee into something you could pair with black pants and earrings for a night on the town! Michael Stars also picks beautiful colors that you won't find anywhere else! Michael Stars quickly became a household name when huge department stores like Nordstroms picked up on thier great fit, color, and reasonable price range!
