LRG Clothing is a popular Hip-Hop clothing and streetwear brand.
It was founded in 1999 by Jonas Bevacqua and MC Robert Wright. The
two met while collaborating over music.
Beginning the brand in 1999, Wright brought valuable work experience. He previously worked
with urban skater brands in previous years. Jonas, with family in the fashion industry, garnered
the start up capital and fashion connects needed to push the brand.
Unknown to what extent, Jonas worked with the founders of the
Crooks & Castles clothing brand before LRG. Destined to split and form 2
lines perhaps, its been told that LRG's logo and concept was stolen from Crooks & Castles' team,
when the two worked on a brand called "Landscape".
LRG clothing made its first $1 million dollars in 2000. As of 2006, LRG Clothing generates
an excess of $150 million in revenue annually. In 2007 Entrepreneur Magazine rated the LRG
clothing company #5 on its Hot 500 list of fatest growing companies.
