Madonna ft. Pharell - Give It To Me

Pharrells bag is ridiculous.

Pharrell: Paper Magazine

Pharrell is featured in the latest issue of Paper Magazine. Once again he photoed with a timeless piece. The ridiculous bag he is holding is the same bag he was spotted holding in Madonnas "Give it to me" music video.

Vans x Crooks & Castles


Vans and Crooks & Castles got together to work on a sneaker and it could not be any more Crooks style. It comes in black also using exotic leathers and has accents in the Gucci colors.
The shoe will be released in a pack of two.

Fabolous


King Magazine held a private celebration for the release of its latest issue and its cover-girl Dollicia Bryan. Fabolous, Busta Rhymes, Irv Gotti and many more were spotted at the event as well. Ill color with a fresh outfit, once again Fabolous does it.

Jeremy Scott x Longchamp "Pliage" Bag


This season, once again Jeremy Scott got together with French luggage brand Longchamp to collaborate on their famous "Pliage" bag. Pliage means folding, since you can fold the bag into a very small piece to put it away.
This time the designer chose the credit card as an inspiration. The bag is available exclusively at Colette and goes for 175 Euros.

Common - Universal Mind Control ft. Pharrell


This is that new Shit!

ANTOINE PETERS: FreshQuest Designer of the Month


The daring Antoine Peters is not afraid to bear breasts on the catwalk of his most recent collection, "Le Petite Antoine". Throwing caution to the wind, he flouts convention by putting girls in graphic cotton jumpers. Baby Doll mini dresses, dangerously short with school girl charm mixed with a touch of whore.
His most provocative collection to date, A Sweater for the World. A political statement from the designer who is thinking about more than fashion. If two share the same clothing, we're never that far apart are we?

Nigo x GQ Japan


After his recent appearance in Portfolio Magazine, Nigo now made it onto the cover of GQ Japan's latest issue together with the boss of the Japanese e-commerce platform Rakuten.
If you speak Japanese, this should certainly be an interesting issue to check out!

TOKYO FLASH WATCHES

These watches are dope! Be on the lookout for more info on where to purchase.

SUMMERJAM!!! Kanye x Weezy

Rockport "Bridgeport" Boat Shoes


The Rockport "Bridgeport" is part of the "Established 71" collection of the brand. This collection is luxury-inspired and merges authentic versatile style with advanced technology.
For now they offer the "Bridgeport" in a variety of colors, all coming in premium leathers. Soon you will also see some more wild styles with patent leather, checker designs and more. Definitely interesting and overall also very affordable.

Ashanti


Here is Ashanti at the Virgin Records store in NYC. Shes looking extra thick these days, very nice!

The Black Lips: It Feels Alright

Nike Air Structure Triax '91


The Nike Air Structure Triax has been one of Nike's greatest performers in recent memory. Although many perhaps weren't down with its original inception, the Triax still remains relevant almost 20 years later. Aside from the use of suede and leather, the toebox among other areas seem to feature ripstop nylon. No word yet on a release date except for the Holiday season, however other reports are saying this might be a Euro exclusive.

Yves Saint Laurent Passes Away At The Age of 71

In a fruitful career in the fashion world that spanned 45 years, French designer Yves Saint Laurent has passed away at the age of 71. Exploding onto the scene at the age of 21, Saint Laurent would enjoy great success for many years. Once considered taboo in womens fashion gained wide acceptability with the inception of designs and ideas from the legendary French designer. The passing of YSL represents a huge loss to the fashion world. Rest In Peace.

Colab Think Tank No. 2


Australian eyewear label Colab has been a refreshing addition to the market place, introducing the concept of artist collaborations into a new market.
Presenting you their latest models. This time the label got together with DMote and Genevieve Gauckler.
Dmote is an amazing Australian graffiti artist, who has set the bar in Australia and in many cases the world. The artist designed a white pair of sunglasses, featuring a 3D fly all-over design.
With a focus on pop culture and her simple but striking characters, Gauckler images are unnervingly empowering and emotive- despite their flatter-than-flat 2D styling. Working heavily with companies such as F communications and Yves Saint Laurent, Gauckler is a new and very exciting addition to the Colab family. The name should ring a bell, since we have already presented you both toys and other products from the artist. For Colab she designed a pair of black sunglasses, as usual featuring striking graphics.
