Fashion Around the World

Its nice to see how different and similar people dress around the world. Here are 2 cool sites Hel Looks (Finland) and Tokyo Street Style (Japan)

Leather Bombers

Pricey but cute. From left to right: Charlotte Ronson, Mike & Chris, Hanii Y, MissMe, and S.W.O.R.D.

The Dark Side of Cute

Kathie Olivas is a really cool artist I've been following for a couple years. I love her drawing style and have always loved the concept of cute things that are a little off.

Henning Wagenbreth

I recently read an article about a graphic artist/designer in Print magazine. Henning Wagenbreth is an incredible artist from Germany and studied Graphic Design at Kunsthochschule in Berlin. His art has a kind of clean, grotesque, playful side to it. Though very graphic, he is also very detailed. He has created a font called Prater and recently released a book entitled "Cry for Help: 36 Scam E-mails from Africa." Check out his site here.

My Favorite Designer

Built By Wendy has been my favorite clothing line for a long time. Recently she has been getting more press and popularity with her new book and a store in LA (she has like 3 in NY). Her design is very innovative and seems to be really original and doesn't really remind me of anything else. Her textiles and patterns are new and not a copycat or similar to other designers (in my opinion). I just saw the shirt below recently on Digital Gravel that is strikingly similar to one she did like 3 years ago. I can't find the picture on the internet but I'll take a pic of the Built By Wendy one later and post. I have one at home. They are both really cool. Just thought it helped demonstrate how I believe she is in a field of her own. She also has a pretty cool logo too.

Dopest Art Show ever!

I must say this is the coolest art show I've ever seen. Wish I could've seen it in person. It was by a couple named Mrzyk & Moriceau and the exhibit was called A View to Kill (in NY).

#42

This is in memory of one of the greatest and most courageous.



P.S. I still want somebody to take Imus out of his misery.

Perfect for the Urban Dweller

I have a balcony and hate the clean up and don't use it much. This is perfect and very cool straight outta Amsterdam from architects Hofman Dujardin. It opens in 15 seconds with the push of a button. Europe has the dopest architecture. I guess cause they don't have room to grow and live in apartments.

Skateboard

Well I've seen many people redesign and reinvent the skateboard but this one is pretty cool and they have really cool board designs. They are local and from SF. The company is called mike and maaike and looks like they do product/experimental design and Mike from the duo helped design the XBOX 360.
On another note, the Bay has yet to be recognized as a influential city in the US like New York and I guess, LA and now even Miami. But really this place has a lot to offer to the world in art, music and business. We just gotta rep a little more, or something.

Coachella

Damn. Coachella is sounding pretty hot this year. I have never been but the line-up seems too tempting to pass up or maybe because I was really hoping to make this my first year there but can't do to circumstances that just came up. blah!
Well I'll see. So I really wanna see Bjork (of course), Interpol, the Arcade Fire, The Good The Bad & The Queen, Blonde Redhead (I missed them at RIOTT!), Marley bros, Ghostface, Pharoahe Monch, Manu Chao (what?!! I love his music), the Roots, Lily Allen, the Kooks, and maybe Lupe Fiasco too (him and the Roots is the only one I've seen live already).

Boba Fett 12"

I was looking one of the blogs I look at for my daily 411 called I like toys and seen this dope Boba Fett 12" toy coming out from Medicom. Its pre-orders start Jan. 25 but dropping June '07. It is kinda steep though at 156 big ones. The blogger at I like toys recommends the Hasbro Ultimate Jango Fett. See below for the cool packaging. Hmm...reminds me of the first G.I. Joes.

M.U.S.C.L.E. Returns!

Look what I came across! I guess I always been a nerd. Remember these! I had the garbage can looking one. Get 'em here!

Anaconda!

So we all know about the huge AF1 Anniversary party that was incredible. And most have seen the hot new pair of 25th Anniversary Anaconda AF1's. If you've seen my previous post for the Art Imitates Art, here's another example. I believe it was early last year that these hot Loeffler Randall boots came out. They sold for around $700! and were on Forbes for one of, if not, the most expensive shoes. Hollywood so-called "it" girls were rocking them. I guess Nike too saw how hot white anaconda looks on the feet.
