I love Band of Outsiders so much! This season is no different; very subtle approach to everything they do. The fits are very professional, very well structured. This is what you were out to represent an organization, to wear when you want your Ex-girlfriend back lol excellent pieces Band of Outsiders [like usual] more info via hypebeast
Approaching the spring season, Anntian duo Anne Hilken and Christian Kurt up the ante once more, reinterpreting their signature mix of patterns in a light easygoing collection. Balancing oversize looks with expert draping, the range takes on comfort and style in one go. Dressed in a combination of stripes and sponged prints, simple slouchy tees and trousers take a backseat to great jackets and knits. From an organic origin of creativity, Hilken and Kurt once again deliver a range that is both special and unique.
Courtesy of Fashionisto, this brand has a collage feel to it, I like the misdirection it showcases when I’m looking at it. Definately a “neck-breaker” walking down the street [somewhere] There’s suppose to be a story behind each season ; this season’s labeled PHASE, I wonder what that means hmm
At the after school program [I work at] youngings were jerkin this was what was caught on tape. Slim [as he's called] lol is one part of a crew called OutKa$t. They’re the best in the city [i live in] and are really good. Hopefully there’s more [dancing] videos to come. I was [actually] there when he did this. Jerkin is NOT easy lol
In June I [actually] went to an [Obey] Exhibit with Raw Arts ! Shepard Fairey’s whole concept behind Andre [the Giant] and the word obey is so in-depth. What you Obey, why you obey it, who you obey; I believe Andre [the Giant] represents Goliath [in a sense] and Shepard injects him into ANYTHING he feels we “obey” because who’s going to oppose a giant [?] I really enjoyed going to see his work.
Now this collab with Levi is CRAZY !
Shepard Fairey’s Obey clothing brand teams up with Levi’s on an upcoming capsule. This marks another collaborative venture from Levi’s who recently has sourced other notables in the realm of fashion and art. The collection includes various pieces inspired by Fairey’s own experiences with Levi’s denim. The collection includes two pairs of denim in the 511 and 514 cut, two denim jackets, a flannel shirt and three t-shirts. Prices will range from $34.50 USD – $148 USD and will be available on October 29th.
A superb rack and library thought by the Korean designer Shawn Soh. The principle: the books all are set out again on the various branches of the tree which was designed entirely out of steel. A concept very successful to discover in the continuation.
Thought this was pretty cool, gave the [book]shelf a more [natural] look haha. Having this in your house/apartment makes you feel that you are wondering in the woods [somewhere] it’d be a great piece of work to have in your household.
A short animation successful and carried out starting from illustrations and of drawings, without use of the computer. A band its of Enrico Ascoli on this video: true technique of joining and folding, in the form of a flipbook by the artist Donato Sansone.
Its [finally] here ! A tease for the long-awaited Past.Tell line [by Kanye West] This has been hyped up for years now and to see actual press for it is [kinda] refreshing. Hopefully it comes out soon and isn’t expensive [both of those arent happening] The Paige jacket is a must as is the tiger hoodie. More pics below, thank blacknouveau for the heads up
