HIPSTALIP is a new line of lace-front moustaches applying the craftsmanship and style of high end lace-front wigs to the movement in moustache mystique.
Available in four ready-to-wear styles: “The J.W.”, inspired by the pencil thin John Waters classic, “The Terry” modeled after scandalous fashion photographer Terry Richardson, The “LandoLip” reminiscent of 70’s sex symbol and Colt45 spokesman Billy Dee Williams, and of course the always trendy “BillyBurg”, evoking the PBR soaked classic found on the streets of Brooklyn.
For fun and fashion, appealing to all groups alike: guys, girls, gays, straights,’stache bash’s, slumber parties, butches, queens, hep cats, posers, bank robbers, trendsetters and Village People.....because life is much better, when you wear a lip sweater.
