Gypsy Rose Merch
Description: Jesse Valadez was a Mexican American lowrider and artist based in East Los Angeles who became known as a major figure in lowriding, a cultural practice among Chicanos that he helped pioneer. He was a founding member of the Imperials car club and designed the famous Gypsy Rose lowrider in the 1970s, which went on to make international waves for lowrider culture, boosted by its feature on the show Chico and the Man. In 1997, Valadez passed the Gypsy Rose down to his son, Jesse Valadez Jr. or "Little Jesse," who became a notable second-generation lowrider. Valadez died in 2011. His son died in 2019. The Gypsy Rose of the Valadez family was the first lowrider ever to be inducted into the Historic Vehicle Association.
Description: On the outskirts of its namesake Phoenix neighborhood sits a nondescript two-bay garage that's home to Alhambra Kustoms - a full-service custom car shop and lowrider specialist. They don't have a sign, a yellow-pages listing, or even a Facebook presence. They've been operating by word of mouth and delivering the goods to a select clientele while never taking on more than a couple of projects at a time since 1993. This means that you have to know someone to know them and odds are that you don't, but now you can get the t-shirt and pretend that you do.
