Hellz Bellz broke loose in 2005, thanks to the efforts of visionary New York-based designers Lanie and Bam Alabanza. The line, also known as Hellz Bellz A Crime For All Seasons, was created to honor modern rebel chicks. After all, Hellz Bellz calls upon women to “confront conformity, tear down boundaries, and rewrite the rules.”

Hellz Bellz is frank and straightforward. It doesn’t believe in cute, damsel in distress frocks; it aims to create clothes for the “wild girls” – bad girls and divas alike and break down barriers that stereotype female fashion into floral and flirty frocks.

As www.hellz-bellz.com puts it, the headstrong brand aims to “reintroduce strength, individuality, and sexual empowerment with a sassy, balls to the walls approach.” True enough, Hellz Bellz is the designers’ response to the male-dominated streetwear industry looming today.

The brand draws inspirations from underground music, films, and cultures, and reflects the question of society and authority in its collections. Its merchandise are very vivid and precise, as its graphics try convey a clear message to its audience. Bottom line: the Hellz Bellz collection is transparent. It’s true to herself. It’s more than just a brand. It’s a personality.
