VICTORIOUS
V22 premium denim line, coming at you from the heart of Los Angeles, is at the height of fashion with its edgy high-end line of denim and accessories inspired by the 1950’s, 60′s and 70’s American outlaw biker revolution.
The idea for this new and highly sought after line is the brainchild of 1990s bike builder Frankie Rodriguez; the former owner of Excalibur Choppers. His creativity spills over beyond the boundries of bike building into designing fashion for those who not only love to ride, but who love the look of the outlaw biker taken to a new level. A more refined, high-end fashion that is as functional as it is classic, and fashion forward.
Frankie Rodriguez is a life long biker and builder whose clients include such people as Gabor Nagy of Gaboratory.His bikes have graced the pages of magazines spanning from Easy Rider and Iron Horse to Biker and beyond. Raised in east Los Angeles, Frankie comes from a family of boxing trainers 2 generations deep. His interest in fashion piqued when working as a model for designers like Bill Wall leather, and doing print for Mercedes Benz with his hardcore biker appeal.
When searching for a team to bring his concepts from ideas into reality, Frankie put together a group of the most creative and sought after designers and artists in the fashion industry. V22’s head designer Marcelo Pequeno is one of today’s leading creators in the fashion denim and accessories market. Marcello has worked with, and designed for, some of the top names in the industry including Henry Duarte. He also personally co-founded the Gaboratory leather department with Gabor Nagy where he worked on the world famous silver line which boasts an international cult following of the late Gabor.
